Thursday, or the 1st day of the con I dressed up as a hobbit for the TORN panel & photo shoot. I did see the pic online - but now I can't find it. But I WAS there! I got to the con fairly earlyish (8:00 or so) to get in line for the TORN panel. Long line, but no problem getting into the panel. Then the photo shoot - then into another line for Ballroom 20. HUGE ASS LINE, but as the room was empty still, and I knew my place, I was getting in, just had to wait. That was for the Psych, Beauty & the Beast and Elementary panels. I'm not a huge fan of Psych, though I've watched a few, but I wanted the two panels after, so it meant getting into the room early.

Beauty & the Beast and Elementary are two new fall shows, in which they were showing the entire pilot episode and having a small Q&A with the stars. I was curious about both shows so I wanted to see the pilot. Both looked decent and I'm going to give them a shot. I'm more interested in the Beauty & the Beast - moody, ex-military, scared .. check, check, check on all MY favs for guy angst!! Elementary looked at least to be much different from BBC Sherlock (which I LOVE), so I'm glad for that. I DO like Lucy Liu, so I'm going to watch and see. I do hope they don't copy the BBC show - but they have room to keep it different, so we'll see.

After the panels - it was time for the dealers room!! Whee! More books and haunting the book isles for freebies. I was also attempting to play the San Diego Comic-Con Bingo game (I uploaded the game board to my Tumblr - see it there). It was a lot of fun. I managed to take some shots with my tablet and upload, others I took with my camera (and are here). I almost got a black out - but the problem was actually getting the photo! When you are running one way, and the person is running the other - it's hard to stop and take a photo! ARGH! I saw so many I would have Liked to get a photo of, but they were like: eating or getting food, going into a panel, in a line going the other way, in a huge crowd were I couldn't stop, or my camera flipped out (like on the excellent Nick Fury for the 'eyepatch' square - I got a white screen) *sigh*

What I did NOT see on the Bingo: Lou Ferrigno (he was there, a friend actually saw him signing autographs when she went by), muppet (a different friend saw someone in an Elmo costume - no really!), Jawa (surprisingly! There must have been one!), Naruto (lots of anime, but I didn't see that headband thing myself), Stan Lee (in person, though I did see pics for people to pick up taken with him earlier in the day)


Cute costumes!


(bingo) Sexy Stormtrooper! :)


(bingo) Hello Kitty R2D2. LOL! I saw lots of R2D2's - SW backpacks were very popular. But this was the cutest!


(bingo) Giant weapon. I saw lots (as usual), but this one took the cake for being the largest I've seen in a long while. It was larger than her! (and it worked - I got a pic of her pointing it at me where you can see the 'light' in the barrel), but you don't get a sense of the size of it that way.


(bingo) Jedi & Sith


(bingo) Adventure time hat - yea this was all over!
