This series is designed as a way to call attention to things, practices, places, activities, or anything else you might not be aware of that I think are worth checking out. I try to cover as wide a variety of topics as I can.
Comic-Con
This week will be a little shorter, focused on only one topic. If you’re at all interested in pop culture, you are no doubt aware that Comic-Con is occurring this week. Every year this giant convention of all things relating to comics, movies, TV, games, toys, and generally all things cool takes over the city of San Diego for four days, attracting around 130 000 people. This year the tickets sold out in 84 minutes. Having attended twice, I can definitely speak to the fact that it is a great event and well worth the effort to attend. Fortunately, though, if you aren’t able to attend, you’re not completely out of luck. Nearly every panel and presentation ends up being filmed by at least one of the attendees and is typically posted to YouTube in the evening when they return to their hotels. That means that you can check out the official schedule to see what panels you would like to “attend” and then easily track them down. Even better, you don’t have to stand in any lines and can even view two panels that took place at the same time. I know I’ll be watching quite a few, and one day I’m sure I’ll be back there in person.
