This year, Awesome Con DC held its first ever major comic convention in Washington D.C. and it was pretty epic. The Washington D.C. area has long had a thirst for comic art and this could be seen in the attendance and participation surrounding the event. It was held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, which was a terrific venue. There was a wealth of artistic talent in and around from the guests to the exhibitors and even the fans. This could be seen with the multitude of creative costumes everyone wore.

As mentioned before, this is not a professional press piece written by someone in the trenches, the stage-sides and the red carpets with the photographers, the bloggers and the paparazzi. This is purely a piece about one person’s experience at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) International 2011. There are no “scoops” here; there are no startling revelations; there are no one-on-one interviews with anyone; there are no photographs from any exclusive parties, as I’m just not cool. At all.
Please note: my family and I did not have entry passes for Saturday, owing to SDCC’s somewhat flawed (if not controversial) online ticket-buying procedure this year.
And now, Part 2 of the Comic-Con diary entry: Hall H: Movie Studios and More.
