I'm an Addict for Dramatics

AH Wednesday, the first day of Comic Con. D and I left LA about 9:30 and headed down to SD even though we knew we wouldn’t get in until 6PM… But I wanted to scope out some Veronica Mars locations. So we are going through San Juan Capistrano when D sees the sign for the mission and of course I want to stop. I’ve never seen the SNC mission. It was absolutely stunning. I loved it. I would like to go back sometime with a picnic basket and sit out in the garden. I bought magnets from the gift shop. I took a million pictures of which I will only post more than a few.

After we got down here to SD we had to find WiFi to get to Wendy’s VM locations page. That was harder than one would imagine. Thank god for Denny’s. And I never thought I would say that. They have wireless and we were able to select a few places. We went to St. Didacus Church which was the Fitzpatrick’s church in season 3. Then we went to what was supposed to be The River Styx, but that address turned out to be a bust. There was no 3151 University and what would have been the next nearest address was a CVS. Then we went to Balboa Park to El Prado where Duncan was when he was supposed to be in Cuba. I had to guesstimate the location though. I think I got it right. There is one more location I want to see but it wasn’t in the area that we were in so we are going to catch it on our way home. It’s the Kane Software location.

We got to the convention center at 4:30 and got our badges and waited in a horrific line for four forevers before we got into the Exhibit Hall. I had to go right to the Summit Booth and I got my pictures taken with their cut-outs. I spun there wheel and won a Push t-shirt. Big disappointment. D got me Twilight trading cards. He also won a air freshner… Big disappointment. We met up with Alex and walked the floor. I bought my sister a couple of Gwen Stefani dolls. Then we went to see the Fringe screening. I really liked it. Not so hot on the female lead but Josh Jackson was so good in it. I also like the crazy scientist. I am going to look to download the pilot somewhere

because I would just love to see it again. And the end is so tricksome. You won’t see it coming. Or at least I didn’t.

Tomorrow is an early morning. I want to be in line for Hall H early and I definitely want to be in the Sails Pavilion for the drawing for Twilight autographs. Crossing all crossable parts to win a place in the line for meeting Rob.

Production Team

In the LA Times for tomorrow is an article with pictures about Twilight. I scanned them because they were pretty and should be shared. The first one shows Catherine Hardwicke and the production team getting a shot. The second one shows the Nomads and the third is a gorgeous picture of Bella and Edward.

Also I went to get my tickets today for the Stephenie Meyer book signing in two weeks. And low and behold I find out the signing is at Torrance High School, aka Buffy's High School. We drove by it today while we were down there. It was all closed up but I still have all my photos from when I went there and re-enacted scenes from Graduation. I haven't watched Buffy in months. I miss it. But I have my tickets and I know where I'm going and I have three copies of The Host now too. We have to go and return them. I think more than having my copy of The Host personalized, I want my Twilight copy signed. Although that means I will have to buy another copy of that so I will have a reading copy and a special copy.

Prince Caspian Movie Tie-in Edition (rack): The Return to Narnia

C. S. Lewis

While at the book store I got a copy of C.S. Lewis' Prince Caspian. I can't see the movie until I've read the book and I kind of want to see the movie. It was a cheap book. It will be painless to read. I hope. Of course I still have to finish Stardust. And to complicate things further I need to read chapter 7: Nightmare, from Twilight, in my reading circle with Jason. I have to do my thought summary sometime tonight. And in the car, David and I are on chapter 11: Cult, in New Moon. I am a little torn in too many directions with books. But it's okay, I will deal with it. Soon I'll be like new again and I'll be back to reading a book a day.

Going back to my Stephenie Meyer obsession, there is an excellent NPR story on her here. I love how much attention she is getting. I really do hope that this gets the fires burning so that when the movie comes out there is a real buzz going and it succeeds. I worried when I read the production budget went from 35 million to 60 million. That made it all that many more seats that have to be filled. And I don't want the movie to just break even, I want the franchise. I worry for it. I need to up my Geodon.
