Another Comic-Con has come and gone. How was this one? Pretty good. As usual, we saw some famous people, scored some pretty neat free stuff, and walked until our feet begged us not to walk any more.
As usual, there were too many people.
Way too many people. I've seen an estimate that about 125,000 people attended, and that doesn't seem too far off. Some of these people should have stayed home: the smelly ones, the annoying ones, and the ones who blocked our way for no good reason when we were trying to walk by. You know who you are, stinky.
Keep it moving, people! Nothing to see here!
So who did we see this year? We saw Jason Statham, the guy who was Pedro in
Napoleon Dynamite, some of the cast of
The 4400, Stephan Bonnar and Kenny Florian from the UFC, Henry Rollins, and the cast of the
Blade TV show. We also saw Robert Smigel do Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. The highlight had to be Jorge Garcia, who plays Hurley on
Lost. Not only did he walk by us two times in the dealer room, but we also rode with him in our hotel elevator. Try to top that.
Hurley: our new best friend.
There were a lot of celebrities that we didn't see who appeared at the convention, including Rosario Dawson, David Arquette, Hilary Swank, Snoop Dogg, Samuel Jackson, the Wayans brothers, Kevin Smith, Tobey Maguire, Topher Grace, and Kirsten Dunst. I'm sure there were more that we didn't know about. We tried to get in to a couple of these panels, but there were just too many freakin' people and not enough seats. See what I mean?
Way too many people.
Next time: Some cool companies, some stuff I bought, and some stuff I wanted to buy...
