Oi, tell me about it.
I'm still trying to decide if I should or give my ticket to someone.  I really can't afford to do something like this right now  (even if I don't buy anything, going out to the city costs money that I really don't have right now  @.@;;;; )
I'll probably go since I took the day off for it and have my ticket, but damn....  I'm going to feel SUPER guilty either way.

It was yesterday, I ended up going, but we spent a lot of the time looking for our chronically-missing friend, Josh  T_T   At one point my friend Kat hoisted me up on her shoulders so I could try calling across the crowds for him and someone from SFStation.com took our picture   lol   Hope to find that one.

anyway!
Sorry I didn't make it to the meet-up, but I honestly couldn't tell where the spot to meet was  o.o;;;;;  this was my first time at Wondercon.
Had a blast, pictures will be here (very few right now because I have to upload mine):

Went yesterday and forgot that the meetup was at 2:30 :P Was in the Star Trek panel at 2 which was a pain to find seats. A lot of people probably 20-22k in that day alone. I hope people were bying instead of looking, I ended up buying more t-shirts then alt comix this year!

(: I met Adam Baldwin from Chuck and got to see the cast at the Q+A, then saw a few other cast members from Sarah Connor Chronicles. I saw Vyxin and Kristin, but decided not to say anything.

Got an autograph from Adam, walked around. Then went to Haight St, ate tacos, walked around, came back home.

(: It was fun today.

Amelia Seyruun

Wow, I haven't logged back in the forums since last year. o_o 

I just got back from WonderCon, but I don't plan on going anymore in the future.

lyricaldanichan

Was it me or was this years WonderCon just too overwhelming? It just seemed like the hired security was overwhelmed as well or they are like that with every event at the Moscone..?


SOawesomeness

From what I saw last year, there were the same amount of Moscone staff. Not sure about the security, though...

But they had a lot more "famous people" this year than last. o:

Here are my pics from the con:

WonderCon 2009 Pictures/

Oh man, that con was amazing, fun and at the same time, tiring and overwhelming, but it was so worth it. I may go to this as part of my con season from now on, but I gotta agree with Lyricaldanichan, that there was too much stuff going on and it felt overwhelming. At least the masquerade ran about an hour and everything was neat and organized.  and I hope that that next year, it moves from the Moscone Center south to at least a bigger part of the Moscone Con Center.

Anyway, I had fun seeing people and now onto either SFCBf or Tales of Anime if it happens this year. Good warmup for Fanime in general. I saw a lot of good costumes and the ones that won their major awards, specially the G.I Joe group, Godzilla and Predator cosplayers, their trophies are well deserved. I'll see ya guys later.

this is what i get for getting stuck at the SF4 [pwning noobs panel] then I ended up catching SF: legend of Chun Li movie...
Not a horrible movie, but thankfully not as lame as the Van Damme one even tho it has some terrible plot wholes.

and yah, theyre setting up for a lame[er?] sequel.

Hope the rest of you guys and ladies had fun at Wonder Con. I did.

Yea, about the Vegas trip....I would've gone, but I asked too many questions and ended up digging my own grave, so to speak. Maybe next time....

Ugh. Sorry about not making the meet-up time. I kept running into work-related people and got side tracked a few times until it was too late.

But did enjoy the convention. Though, trying to navigate the Exhibit Hall at lunch time was not a good idea! Best part was seeing the group of Teen Titans cross paths with Storm and Phoenix from X-Men. Wish I had a camera.

It was very crowded on Saturday. Does anyone know what they were giving out at the DC booth? By the time I got there, it was totally cleared out. I'm assuming it was something Watchmen related.
