SDCC 2010 Edition- Let's Get It Started!

So we are mere hours away from Preview Night and things are all but quiet on the interwebs and around the Gaslamp.

The raging-geeky madness that will consume our next 96 hours--clicky for full schedule--will be epic and this is what we think will serve the most cans of SDCC whoop-ass.  Wanna hear it, here it goes: Our TOP 3 things to do at SDCC!!

3  Get Exclusive-Wasted  Like many others we are straight packed like bento on things to do and peeps to see, hour by hour.  So tonight, I will be running from Kotobukiya, to Hasbro, to Mattel and to all the other toy pirates to grab those rare, pieces of articulated art for the shelf and of course to share with some of you that were not able to roll through to the big show.  Keep a look out here for the auctions we will be posting on only the most hyped draws this year like -

PRO-TIP:  Go to Sails Pavilion booth#9 to get a Hasbro retail ticket prior to going to queue up and with Mattel ask for a timed ticket (usually next day) to avoid wasting time in lines leaving empty-handed

             

 
2  Gaslamp Afterparty Debauchery  Yeah, how do you unwind after the 10-12 hours of cosplay watchin, panel hoppin and convention-overload??  Easy brah.  Walk across the street to cruise SDCC's equivalent to Mardigras.  If you don't quite know what to do or were not able to get on those guest lists we got you covered.
