San Diego Comic Con 2009 - Day 3 - Saturday

| 0 Comments
Since it seemed as if the major studio panels were moved away from Saturday and onto Friday, the exhibition hall seemed crushed with people today as the busiest day of the con was underway. Team Uni in a mostly concerted effort, and discouraged from the infinitely long lines for the panels hit the exhibition hall floor in an effort to obtain more signature/sketches and make more purchases; we were not alone in this thought, and we soon found ourselves meeting the artists of Flight and visiting many independent artists.

After leaving the crowded convention center, our group made a quick stop at the local pinkberry, before the final event of the day: the Alice in Wonderland Touring Exhibition (flickr), which is traveling the world showing off props, costumes and set pieces from the upcoming movie by Tim Burton. After passing through the doors and falling down the rabbit hole, there are many props of various sizes and function on display; all were very impressive.

We skipped the masquerade again this year; while last year's Mythbusters panel was definitely interesting; getting in line for the panel seemed quite hopeless, and the two panels ahead of Adam and Jamie were somewhat uninteresting: Human Target and Vampire Diaries.
