Lets be realistic here, there is no way to cover everything
at the amazing and huge Comic Con 2017. So I will do my best to bring you what
I can but also let you know there is so much more with something for everyone.
Comic book alley in the main convention hall is always abuzz
with the latest stories, amazing art with authors and artists always ready to
talk about their work. To this day I have an original water color from HOW TO
TRAIN YOUR DRAGON that hangs on my wall. It is rich in color and a story in
itself so please stop by and see what made Comic Con what it is today.
Also in the main hall there are offerings from film,
animation, television, cable and the fantastic set ups that are there for
everyone to enjoy. Be careful around meet-and-greet time as fans just explode
when their favorite actors and actresses sign their posters!
So let’s start off with where Thursday takes me and for more
of what we manage to photograph, it will all be available at http://moviemaven.homestead.com.

If you miss any of the action or a panel you were really
wanting to see, Comic Con has come up with a fantastic solution. Hall H and
Ballroom 20 replay the panels so you have an opportunity to hear from all your
favorites and on the big screens it’s just like being there, sort of.
That’s what we have so far for Thursday and we will make
sure to have Friday’s craziness ready for you as soon as possible. This year we
are going to be outside as well because even though inside the convention
center is amazing, outside is spectacular with so much to see it’s
geek-overload!
Please visit www.comic-con.org
for scheduling that will tell you everything you need to know and show you
exactly where to go – and for me that’s important. It’s also a great way for
the family to get together and form a game plan to divide and conqueror!
So if you happen to see us round and about please say hello,
of course you know it’s like playing ‘Where’s Waldo?’ to do so but it is
interesting to see how many people actually do. Thank you for that – it means
the world to us!
Happy Comic Con 2017!
