This is shaping up to be a vastly different Comic-Con experience than usual.

Getting philosophical at SDCC
The last time I went to a comic con in costume, I went as Jay Garrick, the original Flash. I ran into someone else with the same idea. On a related note, I’ve brought @SpeedForceOrg to Instagram for Flashy photos. #ThrowbackThursday #theflash #cosplay #jaygarrick

Amtrak to SDCC
I’ve done Amtrak from LA a couple of times, and it’s a nice way to cut down on the driving stress. Driving 2.5-3 hours twice daily is grueling, especially when it overlaps with rush hour. Plus you have time to read your new comics on the way home!
But it does lock down your schedule a bit on the days you take it, and the line to get on the last northbound train of the evening is…actually not too much worse than some other comic-con lines, now that I think about it.
San Diego at Night
Downtown San Diego’s nighttime skyline, seen from Harbor Island across the bay to the west. You can see the light trails from a couple of boats. The yellowish sky is the reflection of street lights on low-lying clouds. I have a wider shot that shows how much darker the sky is away from the city.
This was taken during last year’s Comic-Con. I figured I’d post it this week because the first round of hotel rooms go on sale this Wednesday. These are non-refundable, outside of downtown, and in some cases specific packages with minimum stays, but if you already have tickets and want to avoid the “Hoteloween” rush when the rest of the rooms go on sale, it might be worth taking a look.
Either way, you might be interested in my collection of Tips for Comic-Con.
On the way out of San Diego, we stumbled on Better Buzz Coffee…

Comics aren’t missing from comic-con.
“Why should Comic Con be an exclusive comics-only club? What is wrong with welcoming all things geeky? For four days, the spotlight is on the things we love. Isn’t that a good thing?”
EXACTLY.
I do not understand why people who have traditionally been excluded from the cool kids’ hangout are so determined to turn around and exclude someone else.
I was looking at the program grid this weekend. Events are color-coded for comics, movies, TV, gaming, sci-fi/fantasy, and “everything else.” The majority of the events were comics-related. Comics aren’t missing from comic-con. They’re the nucleus around which everything else is built.
