Friday night a number of GWCers joined us at our home for a full-on GWC Meetup! From left to right (approximately): Tim, Lady D, the hub, ConnorAZ, DawnAZ, Darthweef, BrettAZ, Default Prophet, and me, b! French Toast and Bacon & Eggs joined us later. Read on for more meetup pix!
Just a small morsel to temp your taste buds on the exhibit hall floor! The next Food Network Star? You saw it here first! (Or maybe at your local con. Either way!) Friday was such a great day. We’re all beat. More details later as my mind is still on hyper-drive.
Here’s a photo from Friday’s Dollhouse panel with Boss Joss and Eliza Dushku — complete with two late arrivals Twittered-there by Eliza! They screen Epitaph in its entirety. It’s mind blowing. Really. Read on for more!
You might recognize these guys. I snapped this right as Joseph Adama grabbed his “baby boy” crooning, “My son, my son!” Read on for more fun panel moments from Friday.
Lookie who dropped in on the Caprica/BSG The Plan panel! Good news, too: we’re happy to hear Jane Espenson is showrunner for Caprica! Read on for more pix from Friday.
Here we are in line for the panel room where I’ll spend my day. I must say that some of the other friendliest folks in sci-fi are here in line with us! Energy and excitement is at fever pitch. I’ve got lots to say about Bear’s concert last night, but I’ll save it for a long post. TGIF GWC!
An intrepid GWCer (whose name we’ll keep secret to protect the guilty) pantsed a camera to slip it by the House of Blues security staff and bring you these photos from the show. Yes, they’re a little shady. But hey: they (note my Chasing Amy pronoun game) weren’t able to pull the camera out much. Photos are good, but not worth getting kicked out over, right?
Just remember that some of those murky blobs are Edward James Olmos (above, left), Katee Sackhoff, etc.
Frak! I just don’t have any idea where to start with coverage of Thursday’s awesome con experience, so we’ll just jump in with the above: the goo monster. Read on for more Thursday photos!
Don’t you just love raffles? D won the above “prop” patch, and she says they gave away lots more — like a “set” of rank pins and an olive-green uniform. Nice!
Whew! Once “preview night” meant that while the vendors were still setting up their booths you could get a look at what they might have to offer later in the ‘con. But over the last few years it’s morphed into a fully-up-and-running swagfest! This is also the first year SDCC has offered preview night panel, which I believe was about three pilots set for fall: V, Human Target, and Vampire Diaries. Wow! While we didn’t attend, I think a GWCer or two might have.
Badge registration went fairly well this year. There must have been twenty people printing badges, and the line moved steadily. I snapped the photo above at about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday — right before we headed over to pick up our badges! — from a good friend’s brother’s condo right across the street from the con, twenty floors up. What an excellent view!
Read on for additional photos and fun from preview night!
