Comic-Con 2007 report, a bit overdue

This year's SDCC was kind of a mixed bag for me. I wasn't able to go the whole time, for one (stupid work), and for another, it was just so damn crowded. They capped registration beforehand, which is great, but I think they need to set the limit even lower. Ten thousand less people would be dreamy. The floor was just unpleasantly choked with people, especially around the booths that were selling exclusives, and a large proportion of panels filled to capacity with people still waiting outside to get in.

This makes it sound like I had a bad time. Which isn't true at all, I had fun, definitely-- the con itself just wasn't quite as cool as in previous years. But the company was EXCELLENT and involved lots of quoting Robot Chicken and cat macros. ("I'm all sparkly glowy, Annie! Yaaaaay!")

( Veryvery long con report follows. You've been warned. NOM NOM NOM. )

Dragon*Con, here we come!
