First up, as we wait to hear about our 2012 hotel lottery outcomes, is Comic Con 2011. Hubby, Mocha and I went and we had a fabulous time. San Diego is gorgeous and Comic Con for all its lines and crazy people is a great experience. I will mainly post pictures which hopefully none of you will mind.
Enjoy!
Hubby and I on the plane to Comic Con 2011
Super Mocha arrives at San Diego airport
TwiLoveSue and 17ForeverLisa - two of my favorites :)
This was from them waiting in line for the Breaking Dawn Part 1 panel...
Pictures from the panel. I was too far away for my camera to get pics of them at the table - so my pics are of the screen. Note: I have a better camera for this year :)
Bill Condon - director
Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson
Ashley Greene
Nikki Reed
Elizabeth Reaser
Julia Jones
It was a great panel and they all seemed to love talking about the movie. It was fun to see the clip and be in a room full of people who love the Twilight Saga as much as I do - if not more in some cases. I can't wait for this year's panel.
My fan girl moment!! R2D2
Mocha's fan monkey moment - Timmy from ThinkGeek
Family fan moment - SNOOPY!!!!
Mocha being eaten by a childhood memory - H.R. Pufnstuf
and in the hand of a childhood hero - Marty Kroft
Dr. Jayne Who Mocha waiting to buy Comic Con 2012 tickets
Speaking of Dr. Who!! Matt Smith, current Dr. Who outside the diner we were eating at!
Speaking of Firefly!! Nathan Fillion, currently of Castle outside the same diner!!
Short story about the diner pictures - hubby and I were at odds with picking a place to eat - with our food allergies it is not easy to pick places from what they look like. We were almost back to our hotel when we walked past the SyFy diner and I chose there. We ate outside at the only table open and thank goodness because we saw these two people above (two of our ultimate favorites) and many more. So in the end it was the best argument hubby and I ever had that ended in the best way ever.
TwiLoveSue and MissTejota - I adore these women.
Some other panels we saw...
The Raven - John Cusak
The Raven - Luke Evans
Falling Skies - one of our favorite shows on TV with one of my favorite actors.
Noah Wylie and Mood Bloodgood - one of our favorite panels too. Excellent cast and great interaction amongst them and the audience. Great show. I recommend it. We also got the best gift from this panel.
Waiting in line for Batman Year One - hubby's choice but the panel was awesome!
Ben McKenzie (the OC), Katee Sackhoff (BSG) and Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad)!
Was hoping for Eliza Dushku too but she couldn't make it.
Once Upon a Time - Ginnifer Goodwin
The reason for this picture is Ginnifer is one of hubby's favorites. During the morning walk to the Con we walked past a lovely woman in a yellow dress right on the walkway with us. We definitely noticed her but nothing rang a bell. As I stood waiting for people to be interviewed on this stage, I see the yellow dress and realize - WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN HER! Such a bummer as hubby could have easily walked up to her for a picture or autograph that morning.
Bonus: Once Upon a Time is current favorite TV show of ours.
Rose McGowan
Another favorite of ours... The Vampire Diaries....
Sorry for the out of focus pictures but I couldn't resist posting these. It was such a fun moment and the cast really enjoyed the panel, as did the audience.
No words. Sir Patrick Stewart for Dorothy of Oz. He was a joy. Truly felt I was in the presence of royalty. Amazing man.
PACEY!!! ok he isn't Pacey anymore, Joshua Jackson is now on Fringe.
Marian Call - a singer songwriter who is a Firefly Browncoat and a certified Girl Geek. She is amazing and I highly recommend checking out her music. Hubby was the fan first but once I met her and heard her music, she is now a favorite of mine too. Can't wait to see her again soon I hope.
The sun sets on our last night at Comic Con 2011.
We had a phenomenal time and there are a million more stories I could share but I am probably out of space. I hope this year is as amazing as the last and I hope to see more of you there.
