sakon76We managed our single-day ComicCon experience quite well, I think. This was helped by printing out beforehand a map of the (massive) dealer's hall, finding where our must-hit sellers were, and marking them down so we had a plan of attack. Our main purchases were at the Studio Foglio booth (newest volume of Girl Genius, a couple patches, and a couple prints), Chris Sanders' booth (Sketchbook 3, which we were missing, the first Rescue Sirens novel, and an autograph on our Blu-ray of How To Train Your Dragon), and a board games booth (I forget the vendor name) where Wonderful Husband found a game he thought sounded interesting and I bought it for his birthday in two months' time. (We will probably play it before then.) We lunched with one friend, met up briefly with another afterward, and I caught half a panel about ideas and writing habits. Then we watched 2/3 of the Masquerade playback, and called it good.
Since we could only get tickets for Sunday this year, we decided to day-trip the con. We got up at half past five, left home at half past six, stopped at Krispy Kreme for our traditional drive-to-San-Diego donuts, and parked about six stops down the trolley line from the convention center. It was all very neat and tidy and smooth, save for the drive home, but then that's always miserable. I do feel like it's slightly depressing, how we only have three friends going to SDCC any more, but that's understandable for many reasons.
So, generally, we had a good day. All the same, I would really like to go for two days again next year. I would have liked to go to more panels....
