The Con Is On…….

Posted on the 23 July 2014 by Eric And Sookie Lovers @EricSookieLover

….San Diego Comic Con that is! I wish I was attending because there are so many things happening there, as per usual, but this year there seems to be so much more going on.

I will just have to live vicariously through a few friends who are attending. Again but one day, my ship will come in.

One if those friends would be our very own B who has already touched down in San Diego and already shared a few things. Let the vicarious living begin!

There are pros and attending to attending #SDCC or any Con as I was told.

PROS

1. Seeing all your favorite actors from your favorite shows all in one place.

2. Seeing previews of shows/movies before anyone else.

3. Seeing your friends and spending time with them.

4. Seeing people decked out in costumes of their favorite characters.

I am sure there are more Pros but as I’ve never been, I would have to ask the PROS! See what I did there?!

CONS

1. Standing in line to make sure you get a good seat for a certain hall or ballrooms panels. This includes camping out in those said lines. I was told the lines are massively long and have seen the pictures.

2. I am told that body odor is a problem and I wonder why? (Insert sarcasm here) Camping out and standing in lines in the California heat, no wonder! Pack some extra deodorant to save yourself the embarrassment please.

3. With so much to do and see at #SDCC, it would be hard to make a decision about what to see and what to cut!

4. The cost of attending #SDCC will put a huge dent in the old bank account. Between hotel rooms, food and souvenirs, Comic Con just might break you!

5. Exhaustion would set in and I think a CONOVER will be had by all!

I would think that is just the tip of the iceberg with both PROS and CONS. With that being said, I would go in a heartbeat if I could! Especially this year!

Starz Outlander will be having a red carpet premiere of the first episode on Thursday as well as a panel, featuring the director, author of the book series and the cast! SQUEE! Plus, there will be a booth!

There are the regular panels that interest me, True Blood, Supernatural, Game Of Thrones, The Big Bang Theory, Once Upon A Time, The Originals, and so much more!

Then, there is the TV Guide Fan Favorite Panel to which I know include Colin O’Donahue (Hook OUAT), Sam Heughan (Jamie Fraser Outlander) and Misha Collins (Castiel Supernatural), just to name a few! Too many good looking men in one room and I believe there was more. They lost me with these three!

San Diego Comic Con 2014 kicks off tomorrow with preview night and concludes Sunday! Viking Wenches (aka B) will be tweeting throughout Con as well as live tweeting during panels, mainly the True Blood panel!
