Though I used to go to comic conventions in the early 80's I didnt start going to SDCC until the late 90's and have not been back in a few years. Would love to go to see some of my fave artists and purchase art and sketches but the movie gawkers and gigantic crowds just turns me off. Why do they go see trailers? I guess to see the actors and directors.
Yeah, I saw the same sneak previews as they all did Friday. Its called Quicktime and youtube. Ha! I'm going to try MOCCA next year in NY and see how that is. I hear its pretty great.
