The first official day of Comic Con is over - phew!! The clock says it's about 9:30, but, since I'm still on Eastern Time, it feels like 12:30. I'm usually a night owl who wouldn't be feeling tired for another couple of hours, but after my nonstop day, the energy is all but drained out of me... which is why I'm going to postpone a full post of today's events till...later in the week. However, I will not leave you empty-handed.
First thing today, my sister and I went to Zachary Levi's "Welcome to the NerdHQ" panel). In case you don't know what NerdHQ is, it's basically a mini convention set up by Zac and his company, The Nerd Machine, entirely separate from Comic Con for fellow nerds to come and hang out. Zac even recruited a bunch of his friends in the industry to participate in "Conversation" panels (many of which include signings) which you can attend for $20 per person. All proceeds go to Zac's charity, Operation Smile. Okay, now back to the Welcome panel...it consisted of Zac and the rest of The Nerd Machine gang. It was a very relaxed and intimate atmosphere. Zac and company answered questions from the audience, sharing funny and interesting stories (unfortunately, we couldn't tape anything since they were live streaming the panel). I didn't quite get everything, but I took a couple notes (of questions directed to Zac) while my sister took some pictures. Enjoy!
