Comic Con!

My favorite time of year is fast approaching. COMIC CON!!!!! I'm getting all shivery just thinking about it.  Is anyone out there in flisty-land going?

Sorry I've been so absent lately. Good things are happening in my life, though. I've been getting more freelance assignments lately and moola is always good news, right?  Also, with [livejournal.com profile] calamitycrow 's encouragement, I turned chapter 2 of my graveyard book into my (keeping fingers crossed) publisher's so hopefully I'll have a contract soon.

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2010-07-01 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Awwww, you're so sweet! It will likely take me several years to finish the dang thing - it's sooooo research intensive. But I'll get there eventually!

[identity profile] parisindy.livejournal.com 2010-07-01 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
i can't wait :)

I so wish that I was going again this year!

Good luck with your grave yard book; it sounds so interesting.

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2010-06-30 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish you were going this year, too! It's such a wild, wild place!

Thanks!!

Amazing news, my dear. Have a lot of fun, and take a lot of photos too :P
I'm happy for the good stuff happening in your life too, yay for you! ^__^

Thanks!! &hearts

I wish I could go to Comic Con, just once. It seems like an awesome time.

ooooh I forgot about your graveyard book! (I tried to forget anything related to my failed research paper on them)
best of luck with that! I'll definitely want to read it WHEN it gets published. :)

[identity profile] faithintheboys.livejournal.com 2010-06-30 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I wanna go to Comic Con! I think I may be able to make the New York one, though. Good luck with the book!

Thanks!! Comic Con is the highlight of my year every year, for sure. :-)

I'm so excited, bb!!!! YAAAAY!!!! :D

*flails around* I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

[identity profile] zoemathemata.livejournal.com 2010-06-30 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I am going! It's my first time!

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2010-07-01 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
NO WAY!!!! How cool!!! Are you going to the slasher's dinner? It's loads of fun.

We're looking for a couple more roomies for our room so if you know anyone who doesn't mind sleeping on the floor for an excellent room (we're right next to the convention center) please do let me know. :-)

[identity profile] zoemathemata.livejournal.com 2010-07-01 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
What is the slasher's dinner?

My traveling companion and I know nothing about comiccon, except for stuff we've seen on the news etc. and we decided to go after we saw a youtube video of Jeffster [from Chuck] playing last year!

Have you been before?

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2010-07-01 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
This is my 4th year in a row going ... I absolutely love it although it's INSANE in the best possible way!! Here's a post I made last year - http://twasadark.livejournal.com/120650.html. The view out the window of our hotel will hopefully be the same because we managed to get the same hotel, a feat like unto the heavens opening up and the angels singing, lol.

Wow, there's so much to say. Basically, there are a billion people and lines for EVERYTHING. You're planning to go to the Supernatural panel Sunday mornng, right? If you want a decent seat you'll have to get up quite early. I usually haul my ass out of bed by 6 am and get down to the convention center to wait in line. I think it's in Ballroom 20 this year though so that might make it not as necessary to wait in long lines as Ballroom 20 is a bigger room.

The Zombie Walk is something fun to do - http://www.sdzombiewalk.com/?page_id=9 I've never had my picture taken so much in my life as during this event, lol.

The info for the 2010 Slasher's dinner isn't up yet, but here's last year's page - http://www.scurvyandplague.com/slashersdinner/ The new page will be up within the next couple of weeks. It's always a fun time.

The programming guide will be coming out within the next couple of weeks and then you'll see the true insane range of things available to do. I haven't even ever made it to Hall H which is the biggest hall and has many of the movie stars and trailers and whatnot. This year I'll make it though.

Here's a preliminary schedule of the TV appearances: http://www.seat42f.com/comic-con-2010.html

Let me know if you have any other questions. :-)

[identity profile] zoemathemata.livejournal.com 2010-07-02 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! We have NO IDEA what to expect, and I'm checking out all your links right now!

We'll definitely want to be at the Supernatural thing on Sunday morning. I didn't even realize there was a schedule up! like a true newbie, I've only been checking the official site and didn't know about any of these other things.

I'm going with [livejournal.com profile] neros_violin and when I mentioned the slasher dinner, I think I heard her squee from Vancouver [I'm in Calgary, and she lives out there]. Because no one in my real life knows about my slashiness, other than her, and it would be SO GREAT to be among 'my people.'

I'm just about to go check out your post on last years trip! I'm SO EXCITED NOW. I'M CAPSLOCKING YOU!

[identity profile] zoemathemata.livejournal.com 2010-07-09 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
we got our tix to the slasher's dinner today! Thanks for putting up the link!

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2010-07-09 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome!! I just paid for my ticket too. *flails around* So much fun!

Did you see that Thursday's programming schedule is up? I think they just put it up this morning.

I'll PM you my cell # in case you want to text me or something when you're there. It's getting close!

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG!!! Just read that Jared, Jensen, Misha & Jim will be at Comic Con!!!!!! *flails around like mad*

I'M SO EXCITED!!

[identity profile] zoemathemata.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
GTFO! Really?
I was just whining to neros_violin that they aren't listed on the panel! I've been whining for DAYS.

And the bag! MUST GET BAG.

I'm getting really excited! I think my co-workers are getting pretty sick of "And at comic-con I'll be going to this and to that, and then this show is there and that show is there too...."

*does nerdy happy dance*

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'M WIGGING OUT!!!!

Oh, look at this, too - you can set up your own schedule if you want: http://sched.comic-con.org/twasadark/ It's really easy. Also, let me know if you'll be at any of the same things as me and we'll try to meet up before the BIG DAY SUNDAY. :) :) :)

[identity profile] zoemathemata.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'll be at the slasher's dinner [got my confirmation email today!]
I'm still paring down my schedule, since it's impossible to be in two places at once [unless someone makes that thing hermione had in Harry Potter where she could go back in time to go to more classes] but I definitely want to go to Thurss - 3:30pm - 4:30pm Entertainment Weekly: The Visionaries - at Hall H and I see you are signed up for it too! I'll have my crackberry and maybe we can text each other and figure it out there?

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah, the slasher's dinner - duh! LOL

Yes, I was planning on being in Hall H all day on Thursday - it's a BEAR to get into. You basically have to wait in line for at least 2 hours to get in, so whoever gets in they usually spend the day there. Anyhow, I was planning on being there in the morning ... I think.

LOL about the crackberry! Yes, we'll text and figure it out there!

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, and this bag will be at the WB booth: http://i31.tinypic.com/avg4d5.jpg

WEE!! *twirls you*
That is fantastic! Extra money is always a bonus ;)

And ugh, I'm so jealous you're going to Comic Con. Have fun, be safe, and take lots of pictures for us poor saps who can't make it ;D

[identity profile] twasadark.livejournal.com 2010-07-01 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Haha! I will definitely take lots of piccies!

COMIC CON!!! *dances*

[identity profile] rebel-angel.livejournal.com 2010-07-03 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not going to Comic-Con this year. I'm sad I'll miss some good panels, but I definitely won't miss standing outside in line.

Also, hooray for earning more money!

[identity profile] chiak.livejournal.com 2010-07-06 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Comic-con! Have lots of fun!

And infinity finger's crossed on getting a contract.
