Pop Critics headed to Comic-Con
In some pretty awesome news yesterday, I found out that I’ll be going to the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con on July 24th-27th as a member of the press and I couldn’t be happier.
For those that know my history (or have read our About page), I used to do sports writing back in the day and covered most of the professional teams here in Phoenix, Arizona. For a couple of years there, I attended every Suns and Cardinals game, not to mention practices and training camps.
So being able to switch from sports to the world of entertainment has been challenging, but also immensely fun. I absolutely LOVE what I do here on Pop Critics and can never get enough of it.
But Comic-Con is new to me. I think I know what I’m in store for, but having never been there, I’m going to be a fish out of water.
Hence I’m looking for your help.
I plan on being there for two days, Friday and Saturday, with Friday taken up mainly by exploring the place and seeing what I can see.
Saturday appears to be THE DAY for TV panels, including the cast of Fringe, Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Pushing Daisies, Chuck, The Office writers (with Rainn Wilson) and potentially Dollhouse.
I’m seriously bummed that the Always Sunny in Philadelphia team will be there on Sunday, but my time that I can be there is short, so those two days will have to work.
What I’m looking for is stories and advice from any of you who have attended the San Diego Comic-Con before, or any other one for that matter. What should I look for? What are the top things to see besides the obvious TV panels, new comic book releases, movie screenings, etc?
I’m totally excited for the opportunity to do this. Not knowing yet how things work as far as writers go, I hope to blog as much as I possibly can about the cool stuff I see and hear about. I think this is a big deal for us to cover this huge event and I’m stoked that we can do this for you guys.
I have to thank John at The Movie Blog for pointing me in the right direction to help make this happen. Thank you John!
So those of you out there who have attended! Tell me your stories and the fun stuff I need to do! Also, what do you want me to check out while I’m there? And if any of you are around, we’ll have to meet up and check the place out together!
