That photo is amazing. The worst thing about actually being at SDCC is never catching the insane moments live. I still read the blogs / twitter for all the best moments and photos. There are such an insane amount of people and none of us felt like sitting / sleeping in line for 8 hours for the big Hall H stuff. The only way I can describe SDCC is like a theme park but much bigger, more crowded, and filled with a lot more sweaty people in costumes. It didn't help that the heat & humidity was OVER 9000 - something really unusual for California. We woke up to a freaky thunderstorm Sunday, which ended up doing major damage up the coast.
Yeah I heard someone died in that too. Crazy week. Here in DC we have my favorite comic event, SPX, which itself gets pretty crowded, but nothing like SDCC, obviously. But it's a nice thing to do. Last year I was able to talk to some of my absolute favorite artists for twenty minutes about their work, and I could tell they were legitimately extremely happy that people really read and loved their work. So many personally signed things now from it.
