Yesterday I went to the Comic Con in Salt Lake. I wasn't even going to go at all because I never bought tickets early for cheaper and I didn't want to go for all three days. I remember last year and I loved the Con, but I didn't stay there long on the last day of it. It was crowded and totally crazy.
I decided to go at the last minute yesterday morning. I had to run to the library to get my tickets printed and then my sister and I took the bus down to Salt Lake. I really didn't think that there was going to be a ton of people on the first day. I thought it would be like it was last year. The news said that over 60,000 people showed up. I bet that was pretty accurate.
When my sister and I got there we waited in a line outside for how long and found out we were in the wrong line. Then we had to wait in another line and then when we got in the building, it was another long line. I think we waited longer inside, then we did outside. While we were waiting inside, they threw shirts and I was able to grab one. That was nice, but it was crazy waiting in that line. I'm glad my sister and I actually made it into where the vendors were set up. We didn't make it to any of the panels and that sucked, but at least we got in. There were a lot of people who didn't even make it into the building before everything closed down for the night. They said on the news that they were going to refund people's money or work with them to maybe get in today.
I thought they would be more organized this year, but they did not expect another huge turnout on the first day. Hopefully they learned from it.
I bought some stuff and my sister and I got to see Kevin Sorbo. I also got to see one of my fav authors, Kevin J Anderson and I got a book and had it signed again.
My sister and I had only about two hours to look around, but I think we only spent about a little over an hour looking. My feet were killing me from standing in lines for almost four hours and from walking.
Maybe next year I will buy a multi pass and go for the whole Con.
