Sci-Fi Shenanigans

Nerds selling out and other midsummer phenomena

While glancing over IMDB links, this morning, I found a helpful guide for surviving Comic Con  . Granted, I didn't hear about Comic Con until 2007 or so, but it seems the word on the street is the gathering has been selling out over the last few years of its four decade existence. Regardless, I have my own impressions, most of which involve how great it is not to go. However, the schedule for this year kind of makes me wish I was going, if only for the sheer giggle factor. So what would I do if I went? Well, let's break down my totally hypothetical Comic Con Dream Agenda into three categories.

THINGS I CAN DO THAT ARE FEASIBLE

Hunt down a TARDIS pen holder, a Dalek loofah and Vulcan ears in my skin color.
Get in a kickline with random cosplaying strangers
Spend one day in the convention center doing nothing but take pictures of the epic batshittery
Crash a writing workshop
Photobomb the press tapings. If I felt ambitious enough, I'd photobomb them ALL.

THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO DO BUT MAY NOT WORK OUT

Get a boycott of the Twilight panel going so no one shows up And why the hell does Twilight get a panel, anyway?
Spread a rumor that Marc Webb only got the Spider Man gig because of his last name.
Take a survey of attendees to find out which actor(s) they think need new agents
Collect enough lanyards to make a rubber band ball-like object.
Get J.J. Abrahms to autograph my forehead with a Sharpie

THINGS THAT MIGHT GET ME KICKED OUT

Get a dance party started smack dab in the middle of the convention center
Moon the crowd
Loudly discuss the ineptitude of Sony executives during a panel (especially one that has nothing to do with movies)
Yell out some blasphemous statement about a very popular sci-fi work just to see how everyone reacts (odds are very badly)
Egg Robert Pattison


So what's YOUR hypothetical Comic Con agenda?

BY THEY WAY, Comedy Central just did it up right with their Bingo card! Hell yeah!
