My Thursday Comic con re-cap

Okay here we go.  I have taken all of the 4000+ pictures off my camera and will put some pictures with these posts. 

Thursday was a considerable slow day for me.  I am not one for the panels anymore as that info leaks out fast that me reviewing it would just be redundant.  I do not remember what I was in line for in the morning but I know that I left it because I received a tweet that Warren Spector would be signing Oswald the Lucky Rabbit hats at the Hard Rock hotel to promote the new Epic Mickey 2: the power of two.


Being a D23 member I was one of a few to have the hat signed by Warren Spector.  Being the first I got the be the 'test' hat and I have three signatures, one on the ears, one on the back, and one on the inside of the hat.  The rest of the hats should only have signatures on the inside.  It was entertaining to have the lovely ladies helping with the distribution, crowd and line control. 

After that I spent some time at the Omni for the WIREDCafe Oasis.  I would have pictures but I was told upon entry that there are to be no pictures.  So I obliged and returned it to my room.  The WIRED Cafe is a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of the convention floor.  The drinks are flowing, there are decent finger foods, and cool sponsors and vendors.  Oh yeah and the stars always seem to stop by for some reason or another.  On this day, John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman were there before leaving for their panel to promote Wreck-it-Ralph. 

When I returned to the convention center I lined up for the CBS signing of the new show Beauty and the Beast.  I personally like how CBS did their signings.  If they weren't ticketed, the people were informed to just show up under the sails and one of the corrals will 'herd' the fans in.  From there a booth staffer would escort about 20-30 people to the booth to meet the stars and have their autographs and pictures.  Signing for Beauty and the Beast were Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan.  I felt kind of sad for Jay Ryan as most of the people there were calling out for Kristin Kreuk only.

That was pretty much the day at con.  On the the after parties.  Most of the more exciting ones are the invite only ones (NERD HQ may be the only exception to this).  I attended the IGN/CAPCOM party promoting Resident Evil 6.  This was a great party.  The crowd was full of energy and the drinks were flowing.  Exciting for me was meeting Shane West.  He was really cool to talk with and when a picture was requested, he gladly did it but he wanted a drink before he did the picture.  So Shane orders me a Vodka Cran along with his Vodka Soda then takes a picture with a happy fan. 

The Music was flowing and the people were dancing because Jermaine Dupri and The RZA were DJ and Hypeman for the night.  I always had respect for JD as an MC but didn't know his DJ skills.  The RZA kept the energy up and even had a bottle of Ciroc passing around for everyone to share.  It was a fun night but I felt the after effects the next day. 

Friday recap will hopefully be done by Wednesday.  I would like to hear what everyone else did and how they enjoyed their Thursday.  Please comment.  Thanks for reading!
