Comic-Con ‘08 Countdown: Where Geeks are Rockstars

Filed under: Fun Stuff, Travel — Tags: , , , , , — kelkelfromhellhell @ 1:09 pm

Konnichiwa, 200T! We are T-minus 4 days until Comic-Con 2008, so I thought I’d bring you some under-$100 ticket bargains to the big weekend. Since online and on-site sales are officially closed, if you don’t have tickets by now, you’re essentially screwed :D

SUPER BARGAIN: THURSDAY PASS FOR $25
Any 1-day pass for $100; or 4-day pass + weds night preview for $175
Friday badge for $75

Thurs, Fri, or Sun ticket + Weds preview night badge for $100
…and another for $85 (4 available)
FOUR DAY PASS FOR ONLY $75 HOLY MOLY

Granted most of these prices are upwards of 300% higher than face value, but I guarantee you they’re going fast. If you’re hard up to find bargain tickets I’d suggest to look daily! Don’t know which day to go? Peep the schedule (ThursFriSatSun) and decide, fool!

This is my first year going to the convention, so I’m not sure what to expect other than lots of cosplayers and pale 30+-year-olds hawking bootleg Anime DVDs. I plan to hopefully do some live on-site bargain blogging or twittering while there (assuming I can find an internet connection and someone nice with a laptop – otherwise I’ll be texting up a storm to The Hurt or Hank to blog for me – yes guys, you just got drafted) so keep an eye out for that.

I leave you this morning with one of my favorite Anime episodes… enjoy!

  1. 30 year old hawking bootleg anime? How’d you know tinmaker was going to be there? His/her best seller is Yellow Flower Moon, the story of a monster boy raised in a small village who grows up to be a warrior princess. It’s quite good actually. Thanks kel kel for keeping the blog going in our absence. We now know why the hurt is a wrestler and not a ball player. He/she just keeps dropping the ball. Boo-yah!

    As for the trip, here’s a tip: don’t trust tinmaker as a documented. We have to back track a bit for some uncaptured pictorials. Also, if you ever travel with tinmaker, either splurge on another room or invest in some earplugs. She snores up a storm like the world is ending!

    Anyway, good post and sorry for the long-winded comment. We (me) miss blogging. Peace y’all!

  2. Hey, thanks for the plug hankthebank! You forgot to tell everyone about his hentai booth! His best seller is mooning yellow flower. It was… Fanny-tastic.

    As for undocumented pics, this is true- we were just too excited for being in primm. Today… Vegas!!

    Ps- dont judge me for snoring!
