My friends Tim and MaryJo came out from Philly for the convention, too, and we moved into the Cole's house for the weekend (they are so awesome and I love them) while we were in town, since we couldn't find a hotel.
Friday we got in kind of late, and we drove to the Convention around 7pm so I could catch the live taping of the Totally Rad Show. It was really awesome to watch them in person and I had a great time. The only problem was the embarrassment I felt being in the same room as a bunch of weird 15 year olds who were just as big of fans as me. It still rocked though, so I don't care. Afterwards, we went back to the Cole's and watched YouTube videos until it was time for bed.
The next morning, Wyatt woke me up to play with Tech-Decks at 7:30am. It was cool though, because we had wanted to get an early start that day. Not only was today another day of Comic-Con, but it was also Awesome-Con, which is Tim and Eric's party they throw during Comic-Con in a park across the street.
We ended up not getting into the city until about 15 minutes before Awesome-Con started, so we headed right over to there. We arrived just as it was starting, and I said hi to all my co-workers and hung out for a bit. There was a lot of Karaoke and music and people in costumes. It was really cool and I had a blast hanging out.
We stayed at Awesome-Con for about an hour before we went back to the actual Comic-Con. We walked around most of the day and the Cole's also came down to meet up and hang for a bit at the convention. The place was so packed and there was so much to see and do. I can't even remember everything. The rest of the day went by in such a blur. We definitely needed to come back again tomorrow to get down to business.
We left the convention around 6pm, and went to a Mexican Restaurant by the Cole's place for dinner. Hung out a bit then went to bed early.
Sunday, our last day, I was up early again, and we actually made it out of the house pretty early. We got to the Con and went right to business. I found the Top Shelf booth and got to meet the author of a book I had been meaning to pick up for a while called The Surrogates. It's really awesome and worth checking out. He signed my copy and was a really nice guy.
We walked around and explored a lot of booths, and got to play some video games too. I actually got to play The Ghostbusters video game for like 15 minutes and it was so freaking cool.
Once we left the convention, I took Tim and MaryJo to In-N-Out Burger (per their request) and then after we were finished, I dropped them at San Diego airport before making my 3 hour journey (I hate you, Traffic!) back to Hollywood for the Awesome Show Season Premiere Party.
It was an incredible weekend and I am so tired today. I can't wait to get a legitimate nights sleep tonight.
