First time , From Brooklyn, New York i can't wait
As for where I'm coming from for the convention...Technically, it would be South Korea because that's where I'm teaching English right now.Normally, I'd be coming from my apartment in San Diego. ;p
Hey Zero that's very cool to be teaching English in South Korea. I've had a few friends and former classmates do it. By chance are you Korean yourself?To the subject, like Transmute, I'm coming from NorCal but I'm on the "San Francisco" side That's a significant distinction for the peeps up here. However, I'm originally from SoCal ... 75% of my life there so it's still sort of home for me ... my parents, sister, best friend, best man at my wedding and all my buddies all still live there. So Comic Con is a family visit as well as an adventure. I commute in from my in-laws. It's a little more than an hour but it saves $$ on lodging so I can spend it at the show!I'm amazed by how far some people come for SDCC. The UK? Singapore? Hell, even New Hampshire, Maryland, etc. I can't imagine! That's so costly, it must be like THE summer vacation trip! I forget being relatively close how big a deal it is. It's like Disneyland, I grew up 15 minutes from there and would go so often, it got boring, it's only as an adult I fully realize how big it is and that people come from all over the world to go there! I guess I should appreciate it and imagine it would be like me going to Hawaii, the Carribean or some exotic place!
I suppose that's why Comic-Con's full name includes "International" in it because it really is. *laughs*
20 minute drive away
Add another from Singapore! I've never been to SDCC before and the cons here are comparatively tiny, so I'm bracing myself to be overwhelmed. On the bright side, the weather in San Diego shouldn't be too hot!
