SILVA CLAN OUTING AT SDCC 2007

The Silva Clan attended Comic-Con on Sunday only this time. This summer has been super busy for us but we HAD to squeeze in at least one day.
 
This years Con was completely sold out everyday and it showed. The halls were jam packed with people. Call me crazy but I miss Comic-Con being more of an insider thing. Now with all the media coverage and Hollywood using it as their latest movie trailer headquarters it's lost some of it's mystique for me.
 
Nevertheless, San Diego knows how to run a Con. The exhibit hall is huge and packed with booths. The panel rooms are large and well equipped for whatever presentation is taking place. A few of the larger rooms have HUGE screens and stages so everyone can easily see. It's always exciting to be there. It feels different from the Star Wars Conventions, less familiar I guess. Their only real problem is food and seating for food. No convenient food courts or booths.
 
We didn't get to see a whole lot of the activities since most were not running on Sunday. We spent most of our time running around the exhibit hall. You can spend days in there! Iron Man and Indy 4 were the biggest buzz around the Con. Everyone was shopping and picking up the freebies. None of the lines were too crazy. All in all we had a good time.
