Many of you may be wondering… What is Comic Con? Originally Comic Con started off as a comic book convention. Over the years it branched out into Sci-fi books and movies. There are several mini Comic Con events throughout the country, but the premier event takes place in San Diego.
Comic con features, vendors of all types, from fan merchandise, to out of print Star Trek novels, to X-Men posters, to the debut of the latest Dr. Who toys. Then there are the guest artists who have their own booths/staging area where you can get autographs and possibly a photo depending on the regulations. There are always the guest actors of film and TV scheduled however those plans, as well set in advance as they are, might have to cancel the last second if there is a filming issue (I mean if Speilberg suddenly calls and says I want you in my movie, you don’t say "Sorry, I have to be at Comic Con.") In other words, please be flexable with your expectations. There are also panel discussions, Q&A type events with various artists where often the cool, insider type info comes out like the details on someone’s next movie.
Lots of participants come in costume, but there are also plenty that don’t. This video on YouTube will give you a great idea of the types of people who come to Comic Con and decide to dress up for the day.
For those who are planning on attending, a reminder that the Q&A panel for Twilight will be on Thursday. There is also a planned autograph signing that day. For the other days of the convention there will still be opurtunity to see the Twilight booth, partake of their suprises as well as enjoy the many sites the entire convention has to offer. Last years Comic Con boasted over 125,000 visitors. So get there early.
We look forward to seeing your pictures and reading your stories after you return.
*Please note that the Twilight Lexicon has no control over ticketing, actor apprarences, or any other aspect of this event.
