For her birthday, I bought Marina tickets to Comic Con and she has been looking forward to it ever since. We arranged to go with Joe and Justine. We decided to go as DC Comic characters. Marina was Catwoman, Justine dressed as Poison Ivy and I wore a Batgirl costume. We all met at the light rail station this morning.
Our stop was near the beginning of the line, so we were able to sit together. By the time the train reached the convention center, it was packed.
We’d hoped to avoid long lines by arriving a bit after the event opened. That didn’t work out as we hoped. We ended up in a huge line waiting to get in. It took nearly two hours and we were pretty tired when we finally entered the convention center.
Marina and Justine went to the exhibition hall while Joe and I sat in on a panel. Then we all met up for lunch. Marina and I checked out more of the exhibit hall for a while and we found a friend of mine form high school. He was with Colorado Movie cars, so he arranged for Marina to be photographed with a jeep from Jurassic Park and me with the Batmobile. Then she met up with one of her school friends and her parents. Marina and her friend went to a panel on kids and creativity while her parents and I walked through the Exhibit Hall. After that, Marina and I checked out more of the vendors and then went to a panel on Disney TV shows. She was pretty bored through it.
