As a New Yorker attending SDCC, I've discovered I walk faster than 90% of Americans.

Yea, i can be same way as i use to walking so much and have a pace i can out walk anyone who not in rush lol. most of the traffic was slow cause others just cruzied along chatty, on cell , or pushing a stroller, or looking as walked so made some areas come to a crawl at times lol besides handicap on scooters sometimes. some have good excuse and others dont lol

This will probably make me sound like a total newb but I didn’t know what Funko Pops were before the con, and when I found out what they were I had no idea how popular they are. Needless to say, both points have definitely been corrected now!  ^-^

Family guy -  had heard of it but never watched. Was in B20 for the day and the panel and short clip were so funny made me want to watch more.

Also, I discovered from my first lift ride down in my hotel they don’t have ground floors in America like in the UK but everything is on the “first”. Was slightly confusing at first, but as a friend pointed out to me… just follow the star!  ;D

I never understood why muggles make fun of cosplay.  It's like Halloween whenever there is a con going on.

Because they're too stuck up to try it. You don't truly understand the joys of cosplay until you've cosplayed yourself.

I've discovered all my awesome friends here! My most cherished of all! I too have found new artists and authors. I've discovered a bathroom upstairs that's always clean and no lines and the biggest bunch of mega friendly nerds are up there too in the Game playing area. Really great people. I discovered all kinds of comics and a greater fondness of some writers and artists.

Vikings, Game of Thrones, Black Sails, Flash, Gotham... and possibly a few others are all shows that I started watching as a direct result of seeing them at comic con

That, and it's developed my expensive collecting addiction! ;P

Not sure, but found out by chance who liked what by wearing a Deadpool shirt one day and a Bobs burger hat - it was like a trucker hat with picture of Tina kinda half face like the upper part showing on the area where pictures or symbols are at time-  so was asked where got it by 2 different people so discovered the fans of show that way and said i got it free by chance from fox booth at time got a poster tube lol. was kinda hoping for more swag or freebies but happy what i got ea day i was able to go cause at times u had a swarm or vultures clamoring for freebies sometimes lol, so safety first and get what u can lol.
