Mike The Fanboy Flashback: San Diego Comic Con 2010 Thursday Day 1! Get Ready For 2011 SDCC 2011!

So, I was chatting with the lovely Erica the other day and she suggested I do a Mike The Fanboy flashback from comic con 2011 last year…. I said… “Now, that’s something that makes me go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm” I just quoted C and C Music Factory… Yes, yes I did… So, I thought about it for a second and I was like… Okay, that’s a good idea, and since I already have the articles written… Ah, thank you foresight… It’s a no brainer! What I didn’t expect is when looking at the photos from last year is how excited I am for this year… It probably won’t be a celebrity driven as in years past but still… Just the swag, and sweat, and dorkdom and all that good stuff… Sigh… I’m getting misty!

Anyway, check out the recap from Thursday, day 1 of Comic Con 2010 after the jump!

Ah, it comes again; yes I can only be talking about Comic Con 2010. Every year it comes, the same month, the same day, and yet every year I seem shocked. Lol… Ah well, I guess it goes with the territory. So, here we are again braving the new frontiers and heading into where geeks rule and fandom is celebrated like a religion. So, get ready kids because here we go…

9:02 a.m. – Ugh a huge line already of course. I’m going to head to the Fox booth to try and get a signing ticket for White Collar… The first day is always chaos. I’m going to meet up with Erica and her sisters later on.

9:57 a.m. – A girl standing around has a Nurse Jackie bag, so I trade her a Dexter for a Nurse Jackie.

9:58 a.m. – I think I must be really whining cause Annette has taken up my cause to trade someone for a Weeds bag…

9:59 a.m. – She gets this guy to give me his Weeds bag for a Californication bag… God bless cute women flirting! Ah… Weeds… Ah… Mary Louise Parker…

10:01 a.m. – I found the booth at Image Comics and asked them what was going on… no one seems to know… that seems to be a general theme this year… sigh…

10:09 a.m. – I found someone who knows… Okay, so it’s a raffle drawing and you have to pick a ticket from the fish tank…

10:10 a.m. – Dammit I didn’t get it….

10:11 a.m. – I’m trying again… yay! I’m in!
