SDCC 2013

My first convention I ever went to was Anime Expo 2013. After that convention I was hooked and could not wait to go to another. I have tried before without much effort to get tickets to comic-con San Diego ( the first, biggest, and best of all comic conventions) but never had any success. After hearing from out expert convention pal Patty who has a table at most conventions, that there is still a tone of stuff to do outside of SDCC we decided to go for at-least one day. We both last second got Sunday off of work and were able to even find a cheap room in a hotel less than a mile away. So we went and she dressed up as this amazing vintage Lolita. We started walking around but had no idea what to do. Eventually this guy came running from out of the building to take her picture. The then came up to me and asked if we were working together. I told him that we were together and decided to come last second. He then asked if we wanted to join him inside. I told him that we did not have any tickets that’s when he said “ill give you some”. I first remembered being warned to not take anyone’s badge or attempt to buy one from someone as it could get you banned. So I told him that we would love it but that unless it was proper and legal we did not want to risk it. It was then that he pointed to his very obvious shirt and bade that said SDCC2013 staff. I immediately said yes and he went off to get that situated. I them thanked amber for looking so ummmm Sexy as she just got us a badge. A few minutes later he took us in past the security and into the badge pickup area and personally arranged for the staff to print a badge for the both of us. He then took us on a tour and introduced us to many great amazing people that most do not get to meet and left us to enjoy the rest. We loved it!!!!!! the only issue we had was all the free stuff he gave us which was killing my back and all the attention that Amber got as we spent most of the time waiting for groups of 100-200 photographers which would surround her to eventually let us go but she loved the attention and I was too amazed at how much attention she got to be upset. After we got home I immediately applied to be a professional and got approved as a trade professional. So I successfully bought my badge and Amber’s and I am in the middle of trying to figure out housing and transportation ( anyone want to help out here lol) So if you were lucky enough to get a badge be sure to look for the Fat Man and Snow White and say heeey Fat Man if you find us.
