I've been going there since 2005, but the trampling happened this year at the Pokemon booth.

shadow-universe 08-10-2010 08:21 AM

Aww I missed the page prize :P
next time xD
Oh and hello all! -waves and squeeses- :squee:

Cardinal Biggles 08-10-2010 08:22 AM

Oh that's so cool! (The non-trampling parts) Have you seen anything particularly awesome during your times there?

Polarys 08-10-2010 08:23 AM

-Curls up somewhere.-

~Yue~ 08-10-2010 08:24 AM

So how is everyone doing this morning?

Toffee 08-10-2010 08:24 AM

Yue, Cookie's busy with the prizes right now so stop buggin' and chill!

Biggles: Hell yeah I've seen awesome things XD Well, celebrity-wise, I've seen Dwayne Johnson, The Wayans Brothers, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and briefly saw David Boreanaz on screen (David and Sherrilyn were this year) for the Bones panel but I couldn't get in (Story of my life, I waited 3.5 hours in line just to get in and then I got turned away because the damn panel was too full!). Also saw Penn & Teller this year, and I see the Mythbusters guys all the time. Last year, Tyrese passed by my Star Wars Club's booth and one of the members chased after him.

Oh I can't forget - I GET TO HUG THE GIANT PIKACHU!

That.. That sucks! The Penn and Teller thing sounds kind of neat though.
I don't think I could ever brave it. Even if there was something I really wanted to see. And there actually has been in the past.

Polarys 08-10-2010 08:27 AM

Someone make Dante stop lurking. D:

shadow-universe 08-10-2010 08:27 AM

I will stalk dante :D
why polarys?

Wulfwynn 08-10-2010 08:28 AM

I wish I could've gone to Comic Con...I wanted to see the Mythbusters guys. >.>

Toffee 08-10-2010 08:29 AM

Biggles: Of COURSE it sucks! You gotta get there like, friggen early in the morning, no joke! I don't know how that's possible though, seeing as they only let people into the convention center after 9:30 and people line up for autographs and the big panels since 8am or even earlier (People camped out for Twilight last year and Salt this year - I ALMOST got into the Salt panel but, yet again, got turned away. SO not cool). Penn & Teller got hella old but at least I got to see 'em!

Mythbusters guys are there every year man, I walk by them all the time.

shadow-universe 08-10-2010 08:31 AM

I am soo jealous D;

Cardinal Biggles 08-10-2010 08:31 AM

@ Toffee: I loled at your last line, there.

It's not the camping out that would bother me (not if it was something I REALLY wanted to see) It would just be the crowds in general o.o

Toffee 08-10-2010 08:31 AM

Don't be! I totally screwed up my chances because I couldn't get in early, even though I planned to have those particular days off of volunteering (I volunteered a couple days before Comic Con so I wouldn't have to volunteer those two days DURING con and miss out on everything...yet I still did).

Crowds suck. They were rabid at the Pokemon booth : (

Polarys 08-10-2010 08:32 AM

Because he said he'd hang out after the 10k page thing and then never came but it says he's here. D:

shadow-universe 08-10-2010 08:33 AM

Lurkerr D: come out and chat D:

offee: i wont be xD

Polarys 08-10-2010 08:36 AM

Maybe tomorrow then... ._.

~Yue~ 08-10-2010 08:36 AM

Thank you Cookie, I really like the item you sent me.

shadow-universe 08-10-2010 08:36 AM

maybe dante is scared of us? :insane:

Cardinal Biggles 08-10-2010 08:38 AM

It's me. It's because I'm a big stinky cheese doodle ._.

Marguerite Blakeney 08-10-2010 08:39 AM

I guess I should probably tell the trampling story anyway since it's inevitable. Okay, so I'm dressed up as Sleeping Beauty (Briar Rose dress) and I've got this blonde wig on, right? When I get to the Pokemon booth, there's a crowd there waiting for the next freebie giveaway. They're inflatable Pokeballs all right? Like...beach balls.

So what happens is that when they started the handouts that day, the crowds pushed in...like literally. I got buried under bodies of stinky BO'ed freaks trying to get inflatable Pokeballs. My wig is like, seriously slipping off, and I nearly lost my headband that went with it (and it's a really cute headband I got from Charlotte Russe or something). So my wig cap is totally exposed and I look all weird. EVERYTHING's pushed back to show my natural hair and I'm STILL getting squished. I had to duck down under all the arms just so the lady could see me and hand me the stupid Pokeball. She tells everyone to leave once they get their freebie and NOBODY'S MOVING, so I literally had to yell at everyone just so I could get the hell out ("MOVE, YOU CRAZY PEOPLE!!") and those bitches finally parted and let me out. Needless to say, my wig is a mess and I haven't had the chance to fix it since the end of last month.
