Comic Con: Day 3/4!
IT'S OVER AND IT WAS GREAT!
My legs may never speak to me again. My wallet and I had a small falling out but then reconciled over thrifty-ness of buying Xmas presents in July. I got all my missions accomplished, and so did![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yebisu9. And I had the BEST time! I think this year was even better than last year!
But, in chronological order:
( Saturday: MAH BIRFDAY! Lynda Barry's autograph! Quick Draw! Meeting with friends! )
After this, Yebisu and I were pretty tired and decided to head home a little early. Then, because it was my birthday, we decided to see "The X-Files: I Want to Believe". And I was pleasantly surprised. Without any great spoilers, I will say that the central conflict of the plot (i.e. the monster of the week) was a little wimpy, scare-wise, but the central idea of the film--faith, and its consequences--was executed in fine fashion. I was thrilled to see Mulder and Scully again. I was also thrilled they were filming in Vancouver again! A pivotal chase scene takes place on a darkened Granville Avenue! All in all, not a completely definitive ending for the series, but a fairly satisfying film. And then we drove home, and fell asleep, exhausted.
( Sunday: Further shopping and hanging out! And great swag/freebies! And free comics, of course! )
Best Con yet! We had a great time!
... And now I will deal with the inevitable let-down of looking around and wondering, "Why aren't more of these people in costume?"
