This year I decided I wanted to check out Comic-Con and see what all the fuss is about. I knew it was popular, but I had no idea it sold out over 6 months prior to the event. I knew it was big, but I didn't know it was 130,000 people big. That made me want to go even more. I'm not into comics or anime. I don't watch TV or movies when they first come out. I watch movies on DVD, but my Netflix queue is so backlogged I often put a vacation hold on my account even when I'm not on vacation. Still, I needed to satisfy my curiosity.
My friend got me entry to the last day of the annual convention and it was really cool. I didn't go to any of the panels, but I liked the displays, props, costumes, and giveaways. Even though it was crowded, people were nice and courteous, posing for pictures and being helpful. I enjoyed the experience, but after hearing some of the conversations from people who were really into all that stuff, I felt that Comic-Con was wasted on me. There were so many people who would have happily gone in my place.
