- Cosplay? Always. Yet, this year, three characters spoke to me: The X-Files' Agent Dana Scully, Disney's Moana and Star Wars' latest glamourous, kick-ass, space-chick, Qi'ra, of this Spring's Han Solo prequel, Solo.
- SDCC Official Souvenir Book article? Bien-sur! Every year, mes amies. This year's article celebrates twenty-five years of The X-Files: (25 years! Wowee! Hold me closer, Tiny Mulder!) Hence, the Agt. Scully cosplay. (Moi always represents my writing-theme with apropos costuming ... if there's a fun character involved.) Catch up on all my SDCC SouvBk articles: The Simpsons, Catwoman, Hellboy, Peanuts, Batgirl, Betty and Veronica and Tarzan!
- The Gaslamp Stroll? As Archer's Lana Kane would confirm, "Yup." It's not a con sans a few martinis and Dirty Shirleys hither and thither through San Diego's historic Gaslamp District.
If you're already dialed in to SDCC, you know what to do. Follow me on Twitter and Insta for all the extra, JennyPop goodness and I'll see you next week! If you're a con-fledgling and need a few helpful deets, load the official Comic-Con app on your phone and be sure to consult the programming schedule.
Programming this year includes such goodies and panels as Inside The Big Bang Theory Writers' Room, Comic-Con Film School, The Simpsons, Big Hero 6: The Series, SyFy's Krypton, a 25th anniversary screening of The Nightmare Before Christmas and far too much for my li'l ol' blog. (Speaking of SyFy, Yours Truly and our Eslilay will be in the SyFy Press Room once again: this year, interviewing the cast and writers of Sy'Fy's The Magicians. If you have any questions you'd like us to ask, tweet meeeeee! For past SyFy interviews, incl. 12 Monkeys, Helix and The Expanse, visit JennyPop's Interviews!)
Finally, make sure you're well-acquainted with not only SDCC's official, convention policies but, maybe even more importantly, JennyPop's con common courtesy policies: Boobs Are Not Bunnies. (If you need a swift kick to help you find your manners, Mistress of the Dorks, Adrianne Curry will help you right along!) Remember kittens, be nice, keep San Diego beautiful and keep your mitts to yourselves.
Abyssinia at the Con, kittens!
