I ended up having to work last Friday but I did so from San Diego so I could still go to Comic-Con<\/a>. Sneaky but I don’t care because it was my first Comic-Con ever and I had SO MUCH FUN.<\/p>\n

Since I had to work most of the day and only had a 1 day pass, I decided to skip all the panels and just check out the booths and exhibits in the main hall. Sadly I don’t have a lot of pictures, especially of costumed attendees (so many Wonder Women!) — there was just so much to see that I forgot. \ud83d\ude41 But I’ll share what I do have!<\/p>\n

WE MADE IT. !!! Taking the escalator to pick up our badges upstairs.<\/p>\n

Rob and Sebastian. Do you feel our excitement?!?<\/p>\n

After picking up our badges, I found a bench and outlet on the 2nd floor, which became my makeshift workstation for the day. Thank goodness for Google and their free wi-fi. Do you see the crazy line to the right of the picture? That’s the line for Ballroom 20, which is one of the rooms used for the really popular panels. <\/p>\n

There are SO MANY people walking around and handing out various little tchotckes. Rob got this “tie” from someone promoting the upcoming movie Fantastic Mr. Fox<\/a>. The “tie” is pretty darn awesome.<\/p>\n

When I finally made my way to the main hall later in the day, I saw Iron-Man…<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>

… and Star Wars figures at the Hasbro<\/a> booth.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>

Rob loved this superhero squad<\/a> display.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

Aaahhhhh!!! It’s Adam Baldwin (aka Casey from Chuck<\/i> and Jayne from Firefly<\/i>)! Lurve him.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

Edward James Olmos was also there…<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

… as was Michael Hogan (aka Colonel Tigh from Battlestar Galactica<\/i>).<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

And probably the highlight of my day was seeing KIEFER SUTHERLAND. He was heading to the FOX booth and I happened to be near it. Look how close he was to me!!! *swoon* Katee Sackhoff (aka Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica<\/i>) was walking right behind him (she’s going to be on 24<\/i> next season) but I totally missed getting a picture of her because I kept staring at Kiefer. She is so gorgeous in person.<\/p>\n

Back to walking around. The Warner Bros booth — I managed to score one of their oversized tote bags! I think I accidentally cut in line, though. :\/ Sorry! I swear I didn’t mean it. The one I got has Chuck<\/i> on one side and The Big Bang Theory<\/i> on the other. I really wanted the Harry Potter<\/a> bag but they ran out. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

One of the toy booths was selling this Comic-Con exclusive stuffed wicket. SO CUTE! Only $10! No, I didn’t get it.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

Found my favorite Star Wars<\/i> character R2D2 at the Sideshow Collectibles<\/a> booth. If I remember correctly, this figurine was $5,450. WHAT.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, here we are after a very looooong day. My back and feet were KILLING me after all the walking. You can see the oversized Warner Bros. tote bags we got in this pic. <\/p>\n

Can’t wait for Comic-Con 2010! And I’ll be sure to request vacation on time to avoid the mess I had this year. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
