Comic Con Day 2 and the Aftermath

Friday July 13, 2012

We woke up and wanted to go back to the house to see things in the daylight.  We told Chris and Betsy we would meet them at Comic Con later.  The carpet was all pulled up and big blower machines were running.  The furniture had all been moved and it looked like a construction zone.  Take a look around your house to see what you have on the floor or about 1 inch off the floor.  That's what got wet.  Our computer was on the floor so I was concerned what would happen to that.  We fed the pets and then tried to make the best of a bad situation.  Comic Con was in town and we had tickets so off we went.



Chris and Betsy made it down there and found a place to park.  Somehow they made it into Hall H again.  I won't say how and it is their story, so one may never know.  They say The Big Bang panel, Walking Dead panel and The Game of Thrones panel. They are both huge fans of Walking Dead so it was really great they made it in.  They also saw why the fans of The Game of Thrones are so passionate.  We saw The Game of Thrones panel last year and they gave out the best gifts for attending.  This year the prize reclamations were slim.

It all started with the big bang!

Game of Thrones Panel and Q/A Session— Based on the bestselling fantasy book series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, HBO's Game of Thrones series concluded its 10-episode second season on June 3. Created and executive produced by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, the series follows kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and noblemen as they vie for power in a land where summers span decades and winters can last a lifetime. Season 2 of the hit series told an epic story of duplicity and treachery, nobility and honor, conquest and triumph, set in an enthralling world of intrigue, seduction, and magic. Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, production of season 2 also took place in Croatia and Iceland. Some of the cast featured in the second season and appearing on this panel are (in alphabetical order) Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy, Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen, Michelle Fairley as Catelyn Stark, Kit Harington as Jon Snow, Lena Headey as Cersei Lannister, and Richard Madden as Robb Stark.

Mylo Xyloto— Every album begins with the germ of an idea, every song tells a story, and now it is finally revealed that there is a secret narrative behind Coldplay's newest hit album and its enigmatic title Mylo Xyloto. Three years ago, frontman Chris Martin teamed up with Mark Osborne (Kung Fu Panda, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, and the upcoming The Little Prince) to develop the epic story that has gone on to inspire such chart-toppers as "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall," "Paradise," and "Princess of China." Join the creative team behind the new comic miniseries Mylo Xyloto -- Alejandro Fuentes, Steve Hamaker, and Dylan Haggerty -- and prepare to experience the sights and sounds of Coldplay in a whole new way. Room 23ABC

As we saw oh this light I swear you, emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright
As we soar walls, every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall
Is a waterfall
Oh
Is a waterfall
Oh oh oh
Is a is a waterfall
Every tear
Is a waterfall
Oh oh oh
