SDCC, days 2 and 3
Jul. 23rd, 2011 11:52 pmMet up with
dragondancer515 yesterday and got to spend time with her, which was fun.
Finally managed to get a ticket for the Hasbro booth today (this involved getting up at 5:30 since today also involved changing hotels; our room here is next to the elevators and ice machine; Hilton On The Bay has earned itself a place on our Will Not Stay Again list) and got things for other people, discovering in the process that the one thing I wanted for myself (Hasbro artists sketchbook) was already sold out and is a true show exclusive, not available anywhere else. The last time they did a sketchbook, two years ago, the same thing happened. Being on the bad side of the hormonal cycle and sleep-deprived to boot, this set off several actual crying jags through the day. Mostly better now.
Got a few sketchbooks from the dealer's hall (pretty much the sum total of my purchases), watched the Masquerade in the Sails Pavilion with some friends, and discovered upon arriving back at the hotel that my badge is gone. Neither the program book nor Comic Con's website give me any idea what their policy is on such things, but it definitely throws off all plans for tomorrow. Given that Wonderful Husband got two separate inquiries while we were questing for lunch about if he was still going to use his badge and if not could the person have it instead, I'm not holding out hope it's going to the lost and found. Too drained to care ATM; going to sleep and dealing with it tomorrow.
