Comic Con - The place to be if you secretly or not so secretly love being a nerd!

"Am stuck in standstill traffic on the 405, 53 miles north of San Diego, heading toward Comic-Con, and the driver of the white Rav-4 directly to my left is wearing full Heath Ledger Joker makeup. Thank you, that is all."-QUOTE FROM COMIC-CON.

Will and I traveled to San Diego on July 23rd to attend this years COMIC CON in San Diego. It was nothing like I thought it was going to be. There were 125,000 people in a room that was about a mile long and a quarter mile wide. And boy did it feel like that many people, it was so hot in the conference center. I tried to capture some of the best moments - including the 24 hour line to get into see the stars and author of the Twilight. We also got to see the preview to the new Disney movie coming out this fall, BOLT! A must see!

Here is a view of just how many people where at the convention. It was so packed, this picture doesn't even do justice...






Ghostbusters! They had the coolest costums of the whole week. All they needed was Slimmer and they had it made!







We saw tons of previews to games, movies, and books. That was the best part - feeling like you were really important by being able to view everything before it went public.

These are the lost characters in cute little lego forms!




Will looks so Tough!

In the back you can see the HUGE Iron man statue, it was so cool!






During the Day on Wednesday we went to Sea World! It was fun and really sunny. Will got a bit of a sun burn!







There were HUGE posters of the most famous comic book characters - like Superman, Spiderman, Robin, Hellboy, etc. I just could not believe how big the whole convention was, it was unbelievable.









Here is a video of the crazy amount of people - I hope this gives a better idea of what the week was like!
