So, unless you've been slumped over a Pacific Beach bar since Christmas -Very possible in P.B.- you know San Diego Comic-Con is nigh and yours truly is headed there with proverbial bells on. (Actually, I'll be donning ruffled, Victorian bloomers and a pith helmet: no bells.) Whilst it may seem I'm going for a good old-fashioned, G&T-fueled, steampunk, dress-up party, I'm really doing it all for you. Really.
For all of you whom wanted to go but can't make it, either because you were unsuccessful in nicking a badge through the Con's wonky, mad, digital dash for online purchases, or it was just never in the cards for you to get to America's Finest City this summer, I shall be your big eyes and perky ears throughout Geek Mecca.
Directly from the San Diego Convention Center floor I shall be Tweeting and Facebooking only the choicest gossip and sweetest pics: hot Manga girls, celebrity sightings, bonkers cosplay, even that guy who absolutely should not be wearing Spandex. If it's worthy, I shall be covering it for JennyPop.net and GoodtobeaGeek.com., under my pseudonym Miss Hannah Hart, ghostdame of The Hotel del Coronado.If I'm lucky and can squeeze into a panel or two, I might even be able to get you some dishy goodness on the likes of Bob's Burgers, The Walking Dead, Children's Hospital, The Simpsons, True Blood, Spongebob Squarepants, American Dad, The Big Bang Theory, Vampire Diaries ... phew. You know what? Take a peek here at the full list of TV panels for 2012: far too many to reference. If I could corner anyone for you, who would it and what would you ask them? Tweet me @JennyPopCom and let me know; I'll do my best!
Moi? I'll have my eyes peeled for the likes of Gail Carriger (The Parasol Protectorate) Seth MacFarlane (American Dad, Family Guy), Matt Groening (The Simpsons), Loren Bouchard (King of the Hill, Bob's Burgers), Bill Amend (Foxtrot), Henry Winkler (Children's Hospital, Happy Days, Arrested Development) and the entire Once Upon a Time cast and writers crew. Witness my love for Once here! Although, I do have to say that if the rumours are true, according to Variety, The Lone Ranger may be hosting a panel, possibly featuring Helena Bonham-Carter, Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp ... well, I think we all know the outcome if this happens. Pack the smelling salts!
Best of all for you jelly beans, I'm giving up the goods! Not those goods, ya wet smacks. 2K12 Con goods! Now, pay attention:

Best of all for you jelly beans, I'm giving up the goods! Not those goods, ya wet smacks. 2K12 Con goods! Now, pay attention:
- 2 Grand Prize Goodie Bags Incl. one official Comic-Con Souvenir Book, autographed by author Jennifer Susannah Devore on her article, That Other Jane: 100 Years of Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, Heartbreaker , plus a collection of goodies from random floor vendors as well as some official Comic-Con Schwag Bag contents. (Note: fewer than twenty writers appear in each year's Souvenir Book. Getting a signed one is a rare treat indeed. Keep yours mint; Jen's getting bigger by the day! Fan-wise, that is.)
- 3 Goody Giveaways per convention day (Goody = one promotional item from random convention floor vendors) I don't even know what these are, yet! I'll be Tweeting them live from the floor. Trade shows and conventions are chock full of awesome tidbits ranging from coffee mugs and comic books to games and anime key chains. Who knows?!
