Yes I'm quite late. No, it's not likely to get read. But here you go anyway.
Read-along photos at Flickr, click to begin (first photo is boring, starting with this one lol):



Because Flickr Uploadr was having some kind of issue, the photos are NOT in order in the photostream; you must use the Set navigation.

I'm back from SDCC, largely incoherent because of what I can describe as "jetlag" . . . but it's really just exhaustion, I think I just barely made it through the con. I had to almost triple my medication dosage (con probably qualifies as "stress, injury or illness" lol), and my caffeine intake, so I'll be paying the price for a few days but I'll do my best. My legs were so swollen last night there were big dents in my feet from my shoelaces. x.x;

I have at LEAST 1200 photos to deal with (whether any are decent I dunno), I will get them on Flickr fast as I can and also do a report ASAP. I will say now that I got into all the panels I tried to except one - almost nobody made it into Disney 3D, due to the Twihards (oh wait we didn't make Mighty Boosh but we were there quite late). That means I DID get into Disney for Miyazaki; Lost, Iron Man 2, and Mythbusters (among others). I saw more celebrities than I can really wrap my head around, and had some fantastically good luck with people in general, which made hour upon hour in line and two straight days in Hall H at worst completely bearable. I need to take some swag photos though I didn't do much of that. I will be slow catching up on LJ, please be patient.

Next year will be the year we'll all link arms and storm it like the gates of Mordor, good will prevail or we'll fall as heroes, I believe it . . .

Please hold for an emergency fangirl alert.

AHHHHHH holy fricking Stick Bejeebus on a pale horse with a kazoo shaped like Batman

Miyazaki is coming to SDCC O_O @_@ (to promote Ponyo)

i wonder if there will be a line

Now I have to find some way to not feel like hell and make it to/through the con :( Seriously. For an anime/manga fan (or just an animation fan!), short of Tezuka (or Walt Disney) rising from the dead, this is as big as it gets. (Zombie Disney is 2010.)

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled spaz-free programming.

I finished uploading San Diego Comic-con 2008 photos. Mostly represents: the Squeenix booth, Spaced panel, Venture Brothers and Robot Chicken, Mystery Science Theater 3000 20th anniversary panel, Chuck panel, and Mythbusters panel. I believe some people have been waiting on Mythbusters. I wish I had more good ones but between my camera issues and the fact that I'm quite sure panel photos are an art form . . . did what I could. I guess I'll do the crash course version report tomorrow so they're not in a total vacuum.

Now my Tylenol has worn off and I am relentlessly being chased by a mosquito so I'm going to bed. I guess I can finish deciding what to use my Sideshow gift card on tomorrow (must...resist...lifesize right hand of doom...)

I got home around 7ish, bad traffic back from Midway . . . I started calling SDCC the fandom gauntlet and it sure is hahah. You either wind up in a fandom trance state or a fandom coma, at the moment it's more like a coma; got 4 hours max last night . . . so I don't know how coherent any of this is.

the very brief SDCC )

One of the reasons why the Omni is particularly awesome: Jim Warren (Famous Monsters of Filmland) held the door for me on the elevator this morning and had brief convo. (Was not on elevator with J. with Corey Feldman though.)

Dude another spider just descended in front of my face . . . what? Decidedly getting WEIRD. Leaving for SDCC in the morning. Ditching out of Sunday, alas, changed my flight, need more time - am I seriously leaving for Japan next Thursday? GAH.

If there is a specific fandom/show/movie you would like freebies for you think they will have - please give me a heads-up. No promises but I will pick up things that I wouldn't otherwise if I see them.

I had a quick look at the schedule last night, there is some brutal cross-scheduling this year and some panels I am going to have to fight like hell to get into - I think I will be spending serious quality time outside of 6B, and I can't *imagine* how they think that divided 6 is anywhere near large enough for Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright, the 20th anniv. MST3K, or Mythbusters panels (not the same panel, that would kick ass though?). And probably screw Heroes again this year because even in Hall H I'd have to be there like 3 hours early at least . . .

uh just fyi mainly for poor [info]blood_sorbet, a lot of panels are x-scheduled or too close because of line time, half the time you can't get into stuff you want anyway :P Even for smaller panels I usually get there way early. So even if you ARE there you often can't go >_

I said I'd finish it and I like to keep my word (especially when I make promises to myself). And yes I am processing the stuff from last year even now (the dinner photos). No one is going to read all this . . .

Panel photos are now uploaded to the SDCC photoset, they should be in order now (I think I fixed it?), so I'd recommend opening that up while you read.

Wednesday: Preview Night )

Thursday: Paramount and Lost )

Friday: Pixar shorts, Stargate(s) )

Saturday: Masquerade )

Sunday/Monday )

Random sightings )

I know I should have a wrap-up of some kind, but most of the shout-outs would go to people who don't read this journal anyway. XD; Maybe just ask me about it.

Putting up swag photos now while I work on my report! I thought at the very least you'd want to see the promotional posters, since some of those are newly released designs. I have to do some more cleaning tonight so it will probably be late-ish.

mm swag.  )

Okay, the exhibit hall photos are up. Panel photos and swag photos will go up with the report; I'm aiming for tonight, but it may well be tomorrow, because there are so many photos. I did try to take photos of specific things I knew people here would be interested in.

SDCC exhibit hall photos on Flickr. I had to make a new Flickr account because I can't log into my old one. I'm not sure whether there's any chance of that, or if I'm going to be using this one from now on. >_o
