No badge? No PROBLEM!
Comic con is all over downtown - and often having a badge, I spend all day in the convention center and there is just no time for all the 'extra' stuff happening all over. This year, more and more 'outside' stuff is going on! The bigger studios are getting restricted by space inside the con - so they are doing all sorts of stuff OUTSIDE the con! SYFY has been doing stuff in the Gaslamp for years - Cafe Diem has been a great place to eat during con (ordinarily known as 'Mary Janes' the rest of the year).
Here's a SMALL sampling. More as I find them.
The Walking Dead Escape "A zombie apocalypse is nigh, at least if you're in San Diego. As part of the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con, people can pay to be chased by zombies. For real. It's not just running, there will be obstacles that will require participants to run, hide, slide, crawl and maneuver away from the living dead. Well, the fake living dead. The official site lists average course completion time at about 35-45 minutes, but the event is not timed and not a race."
Warner Bros. Presents EXTRA @ Comic Con - stage, performances, interviews, gaming, batcave and more
Invasion of the Pier: Bites, Brews & Bands on the Bay On Broadway pier (not far from the con)
Tip of the day: Planning! Can't say this one enough!
