I found this forum through Reddit this morning while trying to figure out if I wanted to keep my TP hotel reservation. I'm kind of new to forums participation in general, including Reddit, and usually keep to Facebook and Twitter. And that's the problem. I wasn't getting enough info from those sites. I'm hoping to get a bit more involved here since most of my friends aren't really that into Comic-Con.About me, I'm 35, male, 4th year attendee/volunteer (I do both to guarantee preview night admission), San Diego native, and am just looking to connect with ppl with similar interests at Comic-Con or try something new that I never realized I would like!I attend SDCC mainly for the amazing cosplay, chances to try out unreleased video games, wandering the Exhibit Hall aimlessly, and attending panels like TWD, GOT, Psych, and less popular ones like Cartoon Voices. I also really like venturing into downtown SD for all the free(ish) events and specials, but always ALWAYS make time for the Nintendo Lounge.Anyway see you on the forums!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You know, I don't think I did this...Comic collector for years...slowed down in my 30s...now pick up some select books...always wanted to go to SDCC and have been lucky to do so for (what will be) the past 5 years. SDCC has spoiled me in that after going, all the other ones (like Wizard for example) just kinda pale in comparison. Haven't been to NYCC yet, but hoping to.East coaster here, Philly burbs, born-n-bred here...interests are comics and anything comic related, comic art, statues, and the like. Do play a bit of video games (Sony here, PS3 & 4), and funnily enough I'm playing Lego Marvel Super Heroes a lot (go figure).Lurked here for a bit, but just recently started picking up the pace of participation here...it's a fantastic board, with many, many helpful information and folk, and it's a blast to be a part of. Hope to meet more than a few of you in 3 months...I'll be looking for those Friends of CCI lanyards...- MichaelPS: You all *did* buy at least one lanyard, yes?
Greetings and salutations! I am sorry but, I've been hanging around here since I followed a post from Alyssa on the SDCC FB page after the badge sale and I have not introduced myself. Hi, I'm a 40 yr old female from Austin TX. This will be my 1st SDCC, even though I've been trying to get badges for years now. My 13 yr old daughter is joining me on this adventure. We do a lot of Cons here in Tx, but we are out of our minds excited for SDCC! It really is amazing that we got badges since we have been shut out of badges since 2010. I can't even begin to explain how fracking excited I am to be going this year! It will be my daughter's 1st trip to California. We do some Cosplay and are going as 11th and River Song one day and Arwen and Frodo on another day. Our loves are Doctor Who, Star Wars, Marvel, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Tolkien, Fire Fly, Star Trek, Game of Thrones, Anime (My daughter is totally addicted to Fairy Tail right now) and many more. I also collect comics and toys and have passed this addiction on to my little girl. We also enjoy playing video games and table top games, and I have a huge crush on Wil Wheaton that goes all the way back to STNG. Thanks for all the great people on this forum and I hope to meet some of y'all at one of the meet ups
Welcome to the forums, lilred! (I have a habit of abbreviating usernames, mostly because I'm lazy, ha ha.)Glad that you could join our online community, and it's great to hear that you and your daughter got badges for Comic-Con this year! If this your daughter's first trip to California, I hope you'll get a chance to do some sightseeing in San Diego or Los Angeles while you're here. (Maybe squeeze in a trip to Disneyland, California Adventure, San Diego Zoo, or SeaWorld, if you aren't too exhausted from con, ha ha.)^__^
Zero thanks for the welcome, lilred is fine it's a nickname that stuck years ago We are coming in real early Tuesday and are hoping to at least hit the beach and the Zoo before we head home late Monday. We were hoping to stay longer and go up to LA but she is in a summer Engineering program and has to be back by Tuesday.
I read a lot, mostly YA novels. I'm a big Harry Potter fan, as well as Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire. I cover Teen Wolf for the website. I also love Archer. Funnily enough, I discovered that I love Archer by sitting through the panel last year at NYCC...while waiting for the Teen Wolf panel.
Yay!!! another Archer fan
Hello! I found the forum because I didn't get my badge approved until after the hotel sale and was lamenting on Twitter that I didn't have a place to sleep.My name is Jamie. I'm 32, and I live in Brooklyn. I work in the tape archives for the news division of one of the major networks. I have a cat named Merlin. She's evil. As an (unpaid) side job I write for a website called Fangirlish, which is how I'm able to attend SDCC as press this year.I read a lot, mostly YA novels.

Funnily enough, I discovered that I love Archer by sitting through the panel last year at NYCC...while waiting for the Teen Wolf panel.This is my second SDCC but my first as press, so I'm excited and nervous. I last went in 2012, and I was with a friend. This year I anticipate doing a lot of things on my own. I know I missed a lot my first time, so I love that there is so much advice in this forum.I'm sure I can't be the only New Yorker here, so if any other NYC dwellers are interested in meeting up and hanging out before the con, I am totally up for that.
Welcome jamiesugah!I echo Jim's - Yay! Another Archer Fan!I think Archer is hilarious and it's one of my favorite shows. I tried more than once every day last year to get the exclusive Pam dolphin puppet at SDCC but missed out every time. I love the writing and this season has been very different but a lot of fun.
