Our Comic Con Summary

Twin 1 and his wife @MrsPeeden (on Twitter) went to Comic-Con, We have always wanted to go but never made it a priority during the year. However, since Twilight (Summit Entertainment) was going to be there it was a priority this year. @MrsPeeden loves the Twilight Saga. No one said that it would be a good idea to get there before it opens so that we did not have to sit in a huge line. We got there at around 9:30am and found our selves waiting in a line that went for about 3 miles. We ended up
waiting for about 2 hours in this line. Its hard to see but if you looked to the right of the picture you can see the line along the shore and that Hotel off in the distance is pretty much where we needed to go. So we finally got done with that line then we rushed over to the Hall H line, so that we could try to get into the Twilight (Summit Entertainment) Panel to see the cast and the New Moon stuff. Anyway we sat in this line for over an hour just to get to the front of the line and then the Comic Con people tell us they aren't letting anyone else into Hall H. The time is now around 2:30pm and we haven't achieved anything but standing in lines as if we were at Disneyland and then have the people tell us the ride was broken. lol. So we get into the Exhibit Hall and our Comic-Con experience finally gets started. We walked and walked and walked and took some cool pictures. Saw some movie stars promoting their shows/movies and charging 50-100 dollars for an autograph. That was kinda weird! But anyway, besides all the waiting in lines it was pretty awesome. Next year it is going to be a 4 day weekend for us. It is almost impossible to experience everything at Comic Con if you are only going for one day. So our advice make sure you plan this event for 4 days and get there early so that you can beat all the lines. See More Pictures
