I had a pretty good time. The Dr. Horrible panel was really funny. I became semi-suicidal when I didn't win the draw to get autographs from Joss and the gang on Friday. Did anyone here win? I was all like "I'm going home! I'm taking the first flight back to Canada! One way! Forget all these stop-overs in Atlanta!" Then came the watery eyes. Anywho. I didn't make it to the Dollhouse panel on Saturday because I had to choose between that and Lost and while Joss Whedon will always be #1 to me, I had to go to the famed comic-con Lost panel. Plus, MATTHEW FOX SHOWED UP! Holy crap! I didn't know Joss and Eliza were also signing for Dollhouse! I would have tried to get to that. Was it also a draw type thing? Did you get to any of these CowboyGuy? PS. I met Julie Benz on Thursday and she was the sweetest thing. I got her autograph and a picture. Right before the picture she said to me "we're going to look like sisters!" because we both have long blond hair. I think I died a little inside. In a good way of course.

I am sorry that you did not get into the Dr. Horrible signing. The Powers That Be must have been smiling on me, though. My dad was checking our tickets while I was waiting for Brian Lynch to sign my Wes concept cover for ATF issue 7, and one of them was a winner!! I got both Joss and Brian to sign my concept cover, and I also met Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin (Adam was at the Chuck signing). The FOX signings, like the Dollhouse one, were barely advertised, and I learned about them to late. Melissa your lucky that you got into the Joss related panels, because I missed all of them because the fire marshal or someone else closed the room. I did get to see Dr. Horrible in its entirety on Friday night because I went to the SCI FI Night showing of Atlantis and Eureka and got on line after they said it was closed, because there were no more seats available in the room that they were both in, which was not true until Dr. Horrible started. Overall, the entire Comic Con was fun, but one had to prioritize and not get one's hopes up, as wells as pack lightly to carry all of the freebies, and the things one actually purchased, back home on many connecting flights. (Luckily three poster tubes, two carry-ons, and two personal bags does not seem to break the two carry-on and two personal bags per two people rule.)

I went and had a blast!!! The plan was to go to everything Joss Whedon related, but that didn't really work out. My friend and I spent too much time waiting in line for panels, we decided to miss out on some things and walk the floor some. My friend and I tried to go to the Joss Whedon panel, but we got a little lost walking around downtown that we showed up later than planned, and the room was already full. We decided to wait in line for the Family Guy panel afterwards though. I got in line for the Dr. Horrible screening 4 hours before it started. The room also filled up, and they were telling people that there wasn't going to be room for people during the Dr. Horrible screening, but my friend and I got in there just fine, seated right in front of the panel stage, about 5 rows back. We had awesome seats. Joss Whedon popped in right before it started. I jumped up and grabbed my camera, then remembered I had issue one of Season 8 in my bag so I got my friend Joy to get it out of there. I started walking over to Joss, and they were like, everyone take your seats, we need to get the screening started. I was soo freakin close!!!! I was hoping to run into him throughout the weekend, but I didn't. =[ I did meet Seth Green at the movies though! yayyyyy!!! I met Felicia too. She's soo sweet and easy to talk to! I also went to the Buffy Musical which was awesome. Here' s my pictures with me and Seth, and then the one of me and Felicia!

How many days?I believe it's 4 days. From preview night, on Thursday, up untill the last night on Sunday is it only once a year?It's only once a year, usually the second to last weekend in Julywhat is there to do? There's lots to do. Shop, panels, autographs, fun booths.how much stuff can you buy/win? It really depends on what contest are being held. Also, there's lots to buy. You can buy directly from the actual company booths, or go to vendors that come from different shops. how much do the tickets cost Last I remember, tickets were about $50.00how many celebs are there, etcetc?That also depends on who the Con was able to schedule. Also, it varies on which day's you go. There's more information on the San Diego Comic Con website. www.comic-con.org/
