Last Day

Sunday, July 21, 2013


Feeling a little better from my allergic asthma outbreak, Aaron and I get ready for our last day at Comic-Con 2013.  The girls found a deli right next to Ruth Chris Steak House.  We decided that we would get breakfast, pick up a couple of sandwiches for the day.  We did pretty well I would say.  Got to the CC (convention center) about 9am-ish and took that 1/2a mile

hike back from Hall H to Hall A where disabled services were.  Got our wheelchair and slowly made our way back to Hall H where we were going to try to attend panels.  While in line, the volunteer had ask to see handicap stickers and an attendant badge.  We had neither.  We had to roll on back to Hall A and secure that to be able to sit/stand in line for Hall H.  It wasn't that bad but while in line the first time, we were so much closer to the front that we could have made it into the panel for Breaking Bad.  Obviously at the end of of the line again, we waiting about 2 hours before we got inside.  We were able to get 2 seats for the last 20 minutes of Doctor Who.  Aaron was pretty excited but he has seen Matt Smith so much that the excitement wore of pretty quickly.  7000 people, Hall H, for the Doctor Who panel.  Mind you that these people, some camped out over night under the awning next to Hall H.  Doctor Who panel didn't start till about 1215pm.  Supernatural and Breaking Bad were first.

Right after the Doctor Who panel, Community followed.  We moved about up quite a bit to the front.  Aaron loves Community, me, so-so.  It was a pretty good panel.  It was done by 245pm.  We had about 2 more hours on the exhibit floor so we stopped by different booths, met up with a friend who had business set up there.  Crowds were starting to thin out, it's Sunday, Kid's day so there are so many children in costume.  It's Halloween in July.  Our wheelchair was a loaner for the day, they didn't require us to pay for the day rental which was pretty sweet.  Saved $25.  Aaron and I left empty handed, not much shopping this year.  We got what we wanted through pre-orders.

We met up with the girls and coordinated a plan of who was doing what.  Malia finished her CON but picking up more freebies, Caitlin went and got her Volunteer CON Shirt, she volunteered 4 days straight and got a free shirt out of it.  She didn't pay for her badge either.  It's a pretty sweet gig.  Amy and I did that in 2005.  I was signed up as confirmed volunteer but when I got sick, I decided to skip it. I had paid for my badge already anyways.

Finally on the bus back to the hotel, we bid farewell to our Comic-Con 2013 experience and hope to be back next year.  130,000 people this year.  It hasn't gotten old yet.  Excited for more stuff next year.  We will have a +1 with us as well.  Hoping that she will love the excitement as much as we do.

The gang and I decided on PF Chang's for dinner , one of Malia's many favorites.  Enjoyed it very much.  The dessert at the end was amazing.  Couldn't ask for a more perfect ending.

Officially 365 days till the next CON.  See you all there next year!
