Comic Con 2011- Friday

winter_elfWe had planned for Friday to be our big panel day with Big Bang Theory, Bones, Eureka & Warehouse 13 in one room. However that plan was blown when Bones was cancelled :( Timing just didn't work out then - and it would mean a lot of panel sitting for the kid in our group when what she wanted to see was cancelled. Instead we ended up doing the Sid & Marty Kroftt panel and then hitting the dealers room and wandering around for the day. We had thought about going back up and trying to get in later for Eureka & W13 - but the line was long since after W13 it was True Blood... so needless to say - no chance.
After the dealers room closed, we got a quick Subway dinner and headed for the Syfy screening of Eureka & Haven. Before the Syfy screening was the 'Klingon Lifestyles' panel - which is pretty strange fan done skit that we've been calling 'Klingon Situational Comedy', but it made the room easy to get into and they keep the skit short - so win/win.
Swag - Fri: 1 t-shirt (Dresden !!), 1 book, 3 bags, 2 lanyards, 1 patch, 1 comic, 2 Kre-o's (transformer lego), 2 air-fresheners, 4 dogtags, 18 buttons, 4 book samplers, 3 posters, 5 magazines, 1 flashing lightblub, (coolest toy ever!), 1 poster tube, large handful of postcards, flyers, cards & bookmarks
Marvel's booth this year – Big Avengers promo (last year it was Odin's throne). Here's some fans posing.
Stuff in the upper parts of the hall – lots of signs, screens and floating blimps!
Big Bang Theory signing at CBS booth. I must say, the security got it right this time – they let you snap a picture, and asked you to move along. So that the whole front of the area was not taken by tall guys with mondo cameras taking tons of photos - which is usually the problem – all these people with huge lenses (press) blocking the view for everyone and taking 100's of photos.
Drink carrying R2 unit
Psych signing at Fox booth
I saw a lot of nice costumes – but often in areas where it was impractical taking a picture. Notice all the open space around these two and the following picture? I really HATE people stopping someone in the middle of a really crowded hall and taking a picture, because they cause a HUGE traffic jam, often while I'm tying to pass through the area! So the photos I got, I took in non-crowded areas (or pointing up at displays)
A nice Ironman
