Below you’ll find my blog posts and photos about our trips to the convention San Diego Comic Con in San Diego, CA. We attended this event in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

when we flew over the grand canyon
So, San Diego report! Wednesday! We got up at 4AM, went over to Ash’s house and picked her up. We got to the airport a little before 5 and got checked in. Nothing was open so we just had to sit around. We ended up in like, the loser part of the airport I’d never been in before. So we’re…

Comic Con 2005 Pics!
I’m still in San Diego – our flight is at 12:30 today… we’re already packed so we’re just hanging out in the hotel room. I do NOT feel good… I woke up this morning with my eyes and throat hurting – this is what Ash and I call the “Famiglia.” Don’t ask. Now I get to look forward to travelling…

Hallo from SDCC 2005! A few pics
Moooore San Diego updates!! There is still a TON of stuff (action figures, statues, displays, etc) I need to get pictures of – I’ll probably get most of them Saturday when I’m in Starfire, easier to move around in 🙂 This morning was the Rebel Legion breakfast/group photoshoot – pics from earlier today and last night are up now: Thursday…

Hi from San Diego
We’re in San Diego! Things got off to a bumpy start, with a 6AM flight out of Memphis with an angry ticket agent and a 30 minute delay due to a malfunction. We were freaking because we only had 50 minutes of overlay time in Minneapolis – but we made it there on time, made our San Diego flight and…

On my way
I shipped my boxes out yesterday – five all together!! Ugh, I don’t want to think about the cost. One was the big, big one that fits my Amidala Parade parasol – I also fit the cloak in there, as well as Ozma, for extra padding for the parasol. Two of them were 16x16s with most of my other stuff…

SDCC Schedule
Quick Comic Con costume schedule: Wednesday preview night: normal 😛 Thursday: Arwen Blood Red, Ozma Friday: Leia, Hermione Saturday: Either Mara Jade or Starfire and Queen Amidala Sunday: Mara Jade or Starfire (if I wore MJ sat, then I’ll do Starfire sun, etc) I’d prefer to wear Starfire saturday, but I’d have to get out of it early for the…

Planning
San Diego tickets bought – expensive, ouch! We leave Memphis at 6AM (again, ouch!) – plane change in Minneapolis – arrive San Diego at 11 AM. So we’ll have plenty of time to swim and rest (especially rest – if I have to be up at 4AM to catch a plane, I’m going to want a nap! haha) before Preview…

Quickly, before I leave for work…
I just made my Comic Con reservations 😀 We’re at the Omni again. I love that hotel. I would have cried if it were sold out.

SDCC 2004 pics from EBK!
OK I finally updated the site from comic con. Some pics from Al: Lord of the BLING Middle Earth Cotillion Attack of primary colours!! Shadowcat vs. Al Something about the wig made me feel goofy, so I was pretty much always smiling in this costume, even though it was completely out of character. Anna in front of the Van Helsing…

when we met carrie and dom
Ok, two of the reasons yesterday ruled. Reason 1: I met Carrie Fisher and got her autograph. And of course, reason 2: We met Dom (and the whole cast of Lost)… I got to stand right in front of him and I got his autograph and then I called Cath and squealed for 20 minutes. Ok now I really have…

when sdcc was awesome
I cannot even begin to tell you how awesome today was. Right now I’m dead ass tired and tomorrow is going to be another long day (get up, pack, put on last costume, go to dealer’s hall, come back, check out by noon, head to the airport, flight at 3:30, get back to Memphis at 11)

when there was no update to our luggage
11:00 Memphis time, 9:00 San Diego time: still no word on our luggage. This is going to suck MAJORLY for me if we don’t get it. I’ve got costume parts in there… they’re saying probably late tonight (like 9:30, 10) or tomorrow morning before they know anything. Anyway, today we went to the zoo, but it was hard to really…

when our luggage got lost
Well, today already has a really long story. I will make it as short as possible. We get to the airport and check in. We board our flight. The airplane has a glitch. Everybody deplanes. I run back down to the ticket counter, where I stand for 20 minutes, but manage to get us a different flight, with a different…
