Comic-con 2013 Sunday with photos
It seemed as though I had just fallen asleep when I was being shaken awake and told it was already 2 AM and we had missed our planned wake up time of 1 AM. But a glance at the clock confirmed we had merely misread the numbers and it was 11:56 PM, not 1:56 AM. Since we were awake we got dressed and went down to get in line for Hall H. We were there by 1:15 AM and it was amazing how many hundreds upon hundreds of people were already in line. I had doubts that we're going to make it inside the 6500 seat hall. I had just settled down to sleep on the grass and was dozing when suddenly all of the sprinklers turned on. It's funnier the more distance I have from it but at the time it was annoying.
All told we waited in line over 8 1/2 hours but we made it into Hall H. Starting off the morning was Supernatural, and their annual gag reel presentation brought some much-needed energy to the crowd. Series stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki were on hand as well as series regular Misha Collins and recurring guest star Mark A. Sheppard. Surprising the boys was Felicia Day, who plays Charlie, and she announced that she would be returning for season nine.
Breaking Bad was next and we got to see an exclusive preview of the final set of episodes. Bryan Cranston entertained the audience with a Walter mask. One of the main reasons for people to be in line for the better part of a day was to attend the next panel which was the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary. We were treated to an extended preview and got to hear current Doctor Matt Smith and his companion Jenna Coleman talk about their characters and where they think the series will go. We learned the 50th anniversary special will not only feature Matt Smith but also 10th Doctor David Tennant and to no one's surprise the Daleks. Exterminate!
Knowing nothing could top the panels we'd seen, plus being so very exhausted, we decided to leave and spend our last few hours walking the Exhibit Hall floor as well as eating. Community and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are shows we don't watch so we felt it was karmic goodness to let someone else have our seats.

Today we spent our time over at the Hilton Indigo Ballroom as opposed to waiting for the Hall H panels like so many other people. We started off with the Machinima panel during which we learned about some upcoming videos including a new offering from the guy who brought us YouTube sensation Hughes the Force.
Next up was the Geek & Sundry Panel, one of the reasons we were in line for the day. We heard Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day talk about some of the upcoming vloggers for the Geek & Sundry YouTube channel.
The next panel was our motivating force for skipping the convention center panels-- the one and only How I Met Your Mother panel. We were treated to a Robin Sparkles sing-along, a very humorous clip, and Neil Patrick Harris running down the aisles in order to give a fan the highest of fives.
A panel for the CW's The Originals, a spinoff of the highly popular The Vampire Diaries, was next and while The Vampire Diaries isn't a show I currently watch the presentation for The Originals certainly made its case well for me to watch it.
Following The Originals was the panel for The Awesomes, a Hulu plus cartoon show created by Seth Meyers. We got to watch the pilot and were treated to some trading cards. It was genuinely funny and seems to have a lot of places they can go with it.
Our final panel of the day was The Nerdist, led by the poster boy for workaholics, Chris Hardwick, who was cosplaying as his favorite The Walking Dead character. He was joined by Matt Mira and Jonah Ray, and the trio threw their support behind a movie called Zero Charisma they are helping to distribute. We got to see the trailer and could see why the gang is so excited.

Today is a long day so only a summary of events I'm at which are within the Holy Grail of the Convention Center, Hall H. Please feel free to ask questions if you've got 'em, I'll reply ASAP!
World's End Panel: hilarious interactions between Edgar Wright, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. The trailer and a mash-up are among the treats.
Veronica Mars: An incredibly grateful cast led by Kristen Bell takes over Hall H and treat fans to clips, Q&As, and the first footage of the forthcoming movie.
Kick-Ass 2/Riddick: Jim Carrey is a no-show and Chloe Grace Moretz appears via satellite. The combination of this panel with Riddick means only time for some clips and a few questions but the audience appreciates the clips. Riddick sees Katee Sackoff and Vin Diesel entertaining the crowd with Diesel being especially verbose.
The Walking Dead: teasers of season four and a large number of the cast are present including fan favorite Norman Reedus. the audience demands a Rick/Michelle pairing and the creators are amused.
Game of Thrones: Winter may be a way off still but the King of the North, his mother, the mother of dragons, Jon Snow and his lady love, Sam, and Tyrion Lannister are here and receive an enthusiastic reception to say the least. An "In Memorium" compilation is the perfect way to begin the panel.
Sony Pictures: Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2, Robocop, Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, and the Amazing Spider Man 2 are the mini-panels within this block. Clips and teasers are shown for all but the guests are the highlights. Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Andrew Garfield, and Jamie Foxx are the most whoop-worthy.
Metallica: Lucky fans get free tickets to the group's performance tonight.
I'm exhausted for the best reason I can think of (while massively sleep deprived) so I am off to catnap.
