I'll be there again. Still deciding what to wear buuuut I think I'm wearing Bellatrix L'estrange to preview night cause its comfy and easy to get into/out of
Thursday probably classic Harley Quinn
Friday Mad Moxxi
Saturday a sort of original take on Harley? Like... if Joker and Harley were doing a bit in B:TAS sort of thing.
Sunday I have no idea. Maybe a hunter from L4D.

and I will probably do like Wondercon and have soda bottles full of some sort of booze. Helps you get through the crowds, jesus fuck.

I've been going to mostly anime cons, so this will be my first time going to SDCC. I'm wondering what I should expect as far as night life goes. Is there like a schedule dance or clubs in the area? Or does everything die whenever the con shuts down.

>> No.6974994

>>6974981
the closest thing to a dance is on saturday in the sails pavilion
there's programming that goes on in the evening but most people use the time to eat, relax, or hang out. there's a ton of clubs and bars in the gaslamp since it's basically the nightlife part of san diego

>> No.6975003

>>6974994
I don't think the dance actually happens til after the masquerade (last year about 9-930pm) but there will be a ton of people there anyway because they do a simulcast of the masquerade there. you can probably forget about getting into Ballroom 20 to begin with because the ticket line for that is going to be long as hell and there's no point when they have multiple simulcast rooms.

Also free food. It's just stuff like those mini pretzels, nachos, random baby vegetables, cupcakes, but fuck it, free food.

>> No.6975580

Got my comfy walking around and not having to do shit for anyone clothes, cocktail dresses for work(and drinking at night because someone has to be a classy broad), and my mom sandals. Never go to a con without your mom sandals. Shit's comfy as all get out.

Drinking will take place at the Machinima party and the Gaslamp Quarter. Sunday is totally fair game for drunkypants wherever since brunch lasts all fucking day and I've a mighty need for mimosas during the last day of every con.

Yeah, but even that is pretty fun! I would definitely have some objectives in mind though, otherwise you will have paid like $100+ to walk around a crowded room. Pick up exclusives that seem interesting, try to meet celebrities and shit, go to stuff! I would even venture that some things are easier to go to alone because people can have conflicting interests and there's so much shit to do there.

>>6978322
I've never been to something like Dreamhack, so I couldn't tell you. If you've been to any sort of anime convention, comic con is a lot like that but much bigger. The exhibit hall has mostly merchandise, but larger booths, say, WB, DC/Marvel Comics, movie studios, etc. will do a lot of promotions, bring out celebrities, freebies, etc. Just walking around the exhibit hall is a feat in and of itself, but it certainly helps if you know where you're going or know what you want to check out.

Panels and programming are a little different for comic con depending on what you want to do. Hall H and Ballroom 20 are the big rooms where the most anticipated panels are and you usually have to wait hours, if not overnight to get into an event in either of those. Some smaller panels you might still have to wait a bit to get into, but most of the really small, generally more obscure/niche comic panels you can walk straight into. If it seems interesting in the programming, it definitely doesn't hurt to check out! And of course if you get bored, you can just leave.

If this is your first comic con, I would just kind of walk around and try to take anything in. If you actually want to do something, make sure you look up everything you can on the website and know when and where you're going to be and for how long. It's impossible to do what you want to do otherwise. Comic Con is kind of unforgiving in that regard- if you WANT to do something, you HAVE to plan or you're not going to get to do it.

>> No.6978377

Going by just pure numbers, DH had 18k people. Comic-con has 130k.

I went to a bunch of my first conventions by myself. You'll do fine. It's more fun with friends, true, but you shouldn't lack for stuff to do on your lonesome. Hit up panels, Thursday night watch the Kung Fu Extravaganza (lots of fighting movie clips), saturday masq. The exhibit hall should be able to occupy for a good amount of time if you look at what every booth has to offer.

If you want to park near the convention center there are usually a couple of streets with free parking but you have to get there ungodly early to snag them. I've driven there, parked, and slept in the car for a couple more hours. You can also look into parking at a trolley stop and taking the trolley in but be prepared for packed trolleys are certain times. You can also try parking farther out from the convention center near hotels with shuttle stops and jumping on the shuttle. They don't check if you actually belong to one of those hotels.

>>6986966
Depends entirely on the stranger. This is the first convention I've ever been to where I didn't find someone down to fuck on the first day.

Honestly usually it is a couple, straight or gay - who I usually find on day 1. Single people are much harder to find, as in singular people who aren't with someone who are interested in fooling around. It always seems to be couples.

Anyway everyone at conventions is usually out of town and if they are in costume almost always looking to cut loose and do anything - it is like the nerds Las Vegas.

I'd be lying if I said 90% of the reason I cosplay and come to cons is because I liked to dress up - it is most certainly sex.
