I know I cannot wait but I won't be in armor instead I will be going as someone that I don't think has ever been done before. I will be going as Professor Anders from Halo Wars

does comic con international really go international?? like do they go to asia or their is another convention in the philippines??

 

[Traghatti]

Skullboy, they're based in SD, have been since it started 30+ years ago. It's international because they have all kinds of comics, directors, writers, actors, movies, games, etc from around the world.

Crap I have Bioware meetup on Friday so I guess Spartan-005 will be going for me, unless the panel is in the morning then i can do that then jet over to Bioware in the Gaslamp Hilton. If thats the case then Commander Shepard will be invading the Halo Universe lol

Check the website, tickets may go on sale again soon. The part that sucks is you need to get a twitter account to be notified of it and the prices have gone up but it might also discourage those that really want go to all 4 days and let more people who want to go the chance to be there now.

Comic con also has a facebook page and all the 4 day badges sold out this morning but they will be announcing the one day badges soon

Friday schedule for Comicon is up, among other interesting things...

Hope to see many of you there!

Sorry for the double post but here is the meetup information
Saturday July 23rd
11AM
For those who were there last year we will be meeting in the usual spot. For others if its your first time we will be meeting on the outside terrace outside of Ballroom 20.

Not sure if I will be wearing Halo Cosplay, but Spartan-005 will be. If I decide not to do Halo I will be in N7 armor. This is also posted on the facebook page but if you have any questions just PM me
