Comic-Con 2013
 
Anyone else going this year?

I managed to win the hotel lottery, so my plans to attend are now 100% confirmed. (Whew!)

The Comic Con Luck of the Draw Gods were very generous indeed to me this year, so I'll be there.

arizvega 02-28-2013 02:28 PM

I wish i can go...:d

Would love to go. I'd also love to attend Wonder Con but for the second year in the row they are holding it in Anaheim instead of San Francisco. Sigh.

Looking forward to all the reports from you guys attending

In my case the Comic Con Gods hate me and left me out yet again...

Wonder con,Power con and any other con I can possibly attend this year will have to do.

Same. WonderCon used to be my geek fix to hold me over until Comic-Con. :ohwell:

Which Comic-Con are you talking about, San Diego?

I went to NYCC last year and i'll be going again this year. it's amazing.

Comic-Con = San Diego.

Otakon is the only convention I care about going to. Phoenix Wright is the cosplay theme this year with my Asian Invasion entourage as we prepare for Ace Attorney 5's eventual release.

I missed out in the public four day pass lottery, but an opportune opportunity kindly presented by an exhibitor friend means I'm hopefully getting a free exhibitor pass and massively discounted hotel room for the event. Just need to make sure I can afford the plane fares and other costs... if so, I'll be there! :D

Pretty much everyone shortens their local/favorite Comic Con to just that. Everyone up here calls the Emerald City Comic Con, just Comic Con, and I know some N'yorkers that just call theirs Comic Con.

The only comic book convention that uses "Comic-Con" with the hyphen in San Diego. And even though other show names might get shortened to "comic con" locally, on a general, nation-wide scale, just referring to "Comic-Con" is going to mean San Diego.

The former may be so, but I highly doubt the latter. Pretty much everyone from outside of Cali calls it SDCC.

yeah that's why i was confused.

Either way , NYCC was great and i'd love to experience SDCC.

According to a few artist I spoke with at NYCC they said the difference in size and attendance wasn't very substantial last year between NYCC and SDCC.

The best part of NYCC was easily the Turtle panel. All the voice actors except jason biggs were there and they did a live voice over of raw footage they hadn't even seen yet. It was hilarious. Rob Paulsen was just yelling like no one else was in the room.

plastroncafe 03-04-2013 01:23 PM

The hyphen is Key.

Comic Con might mean anywhere, Comic-Con is SDCC specific shorthand.
And I say that as someone from outside of Cali.

I was intending to go this year originally, but as it turns out, I'm making a Vegas trip instead. Have to plan for San Diego Comic-Con 2014 for sure.

Jephael 03-04-2013 03:52 PM

I was going to go with my cousin Kyle, but unfortunately when the day came to order the badges, the damn site crashed the moment they went up on sale.

*sniff* me too! :cry: :( oh well it's on the bucket list, maybe next year

demonsweat 03-22-2013 05:09 PM

I'll be there! Got our hotel secured (finally), so my crew is in. Really hoping they'll do another TMNT panel with the voice actors again, last year's was awesome.

If any 21+ 'dromers wanna meet up for a drink after let me know, I'm always down for hanging out! :D

I can't go to San-D comic con this year
