Thanks Zero. SDCC is nothing like any Con I've been to before. Getting ready for it is too much like work. lol. I read this forum everyday, study the maps, and look at previous years schedules to try to plan ahead. The last two weeks before the Con will be a mad scramble though. I hope you have a great time at the Con!
My name is Lee and I am a 28 year old male and I am currently living in ABQ, NM and by the end of this year my plan is to move to NYC (and I look forward to checking out the NYC ComicCon in the future as well). I have lived in quite a few places. Ohio (multiple locations), Oregon (couple locations), border of AZ/Utah, New York (upstate just outside of Ithaca), and currently in New Mexico. And have visited quite a few places in the USA as well (hoping to get to Ireland/UK in the next couple of years and then to various locations around the world).2013 was not only my first SDCC and my first time to San Diego but it was my first comic convention in general. Since then I have been to the local con and in about a week I will be attending the local expo. I will be back to San Diego and SDCC this year as well (I hope to be able to make it regularly moving forward). I think living in NYC will make it easier to attend NYCCC and still allow me to go to SDCC(hopefully).I like to have fun and feel like it can come in many shapes and sizes. Some of the things I like to do are considered "extreme" but I only do them occasionally. Things such hang gliding, sky diving (actually went about a month ago while in Phoenix), etc. But I also like to stay in and read, go running, watch movies and tv, go hiking, etc as well. I am up for trying most things at least once. TV and movies (including web only programming such as Geek & Sundry) are probably the biggest thing I get geeky about but I also enjoy video games (probably the thing I get second most geeky about), comics, books, music (mainly just listening to when driving and running), comedians, travel technology & gadgets (I am currently in IT Sales), art (mainly just looking at for fun when traveling), board games (pretty new to this area), etc. I have never LARPed but I have dressed up for a renaissance fair a couple of times...I don't have Facebook anymore (and rarely use twitter) but you can find me online here:You are not allowed to view links.

Welcome to the forums, Lee! Glad that you could join us.I agree that having fun can be done in many ways, and as long as it allows you to enjoy yourself and enjoy life, it doesn't matter if it's considered "extreme." Some people might even say that going to conventions like Comic-Con is also extreme in some ways, ha ha.What are you looking forward to seeing at Comic-Con this year? (In general, since the schedule isn't out yet, ha ha.)^__^
Hello All!I know I have atrocious manners in not having introduced myself. I am Jemifa, a nerd through and through. Sci-Fi is my crack. I love fantasy. I'm warming up to Cosplay! And I'm here for the comic books! Don't get it twisted! I am so happy to see a whole community of my people here. I am a veteran of 2 SDCCs in years long passed. 1993 and 2007. Yes I know...long ago in a galaxy far far away. I only recently got reintroduced to this wonderful world of amazing people by a lovely gentleman. He has been the most amazing ambassador into this strange and wonderfully new land called (SDCC post Twilight). I know, I know- I hate to bring up the painful past...While its true I do not know first-hand of the pandemonium that our beloved SDCC has turned into- I need to raise my flag and say that I am a purist. I want to be able to talk to the artists that are shaping pop-culture today. I have been warned that you can no longer walk the artist alley at your leisure, as it is not really an alley anymore...its more like a 6 lane superhighway in "LA status" rush hour traffic. Still and all- I am thrilled to be going this year with the "peas to my carrots". If you will be there in a few weeks I hope to meet you there! Got my snazzy lanyard and erythang! I love the posts and the conversations I am seeing- I will check in more often as work permits. Have a great rest of the week and I can't wait!!!!
Big time props to Jem for the Big Trouble in Little China sig!"Who? Jack Burton, me!"
Howdy! My name is Kathryn and I've been going to Comic Con since 2009 with my younger sister. We've also been to Wonder Con since it's been in Anaheim. Both cons are something that my sister and I look forward to every year and make it a mini vacation with the family. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!
