I'm  only going Thursday. After going for the past four or five years I can't muster up the enthusiasm or the energy to go on Friday and Saturday which are the busier days. I like talking to the people there and Thursday is always the best day to do that. Plus everything is in Stock at the vendors sooo....

I'll be there all four days.

Also I'm doing a little give away if anyone is interested. On Saturday I'm going to be bringing a 60% case, an Odd Eyes Trooper MX and a Clear Trooper MX. If anyone can find me in my ridiculous shirts you get to pick one of the 3 for yourself. I have the stuff on an imgur album. http://imgur.com/a/RpP0Y

I'm doing that whole shpeel on Saturday my dude =[ Sorry! Have to make it a bit more difficult with more people there. If I did it yesterday it might of been a bit easy because I wound up seeing some of the same people all day long myself actually.

So how did everyone enjoy comic con? Any GHers meet up?

I got a really cool Full Metal Alchemist state alchemist pocket watch and my friend got three really cool desk figures. I try not to buy merch though since I can get all of that stuff online for cheaper if I really wanted something. Unfortunately I always feel like they always beat a dead horse with DC Comics to the point where we actively avoided about half the floor since it was nothing but batman this and that and an abundance of terrible Batman cosplay. I'm there for (some) anime and video games and there was plenty of that, so there was plenty for me to see and do. I chatted with the folks from the Ghostery and Microsoft booths and the Microsoft dude gave me a Mega Blocks tote bag (thanks I guess?). so yeah, overall great time!

Oh and a girl asked for my number while I was waiting for my friend to use the bathroom, which was kinda cool ;D

This was my second time there, and I did the same thing as last year. I bought a bunch of prints and looked for items I've never seen before but price checked online so I know to buy them from Amazon or the likes. I did a couple panels on the main stage which was fun. I chose a random comic from the artist alley to buy and got The Only Living Boy so I have those to read. Loved talking to all the anime geeks, its one of the only places I feel like I can discuss in full every little detail about a show or Manga. The cosplay was okay, last year definitely had more, but thank god this year there weren't as many Harley Quinns.

...HOW!? I felt like every other girl was harley quinn! That, Spider Gwen or Daenerys.

I had a pretty good time, didn't go in expecting a lot, and had fun taking it easy. Did the adventuretime marcelline panel, which was pretty good, and the regular show panel which was absolutely great. Bought some prints for my girlfriend, didn't spend much otherwise, which I was proud of myself for...
I have to say though, I'm incredibly glad I only got a saturday pass. My only other con experience has been at PAX East, and I didn't realize how little there was to do for me outside of panels, vendors and gawking at cosplayers.
