			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, so 4 day passes and single day passes went on sale this morning at 9am. I was at the computer at 915am and saw the strewn of crap that was coming up on twitter about the group in charge of selling the tickets. These jacktards called TicketLeap.com, had one of the most massive EPIC fails of all time.</p>
<p>They apparently did not know that Comic-con fans are rabid, they apparently did not know that jerk off little Emo fucks that follow twilight would be online as well to buy tickets. These guys apparently did not load balance their system for the massive amount of traffic that was about to go through their system. Apparently these idiots had no clue what they were about to get hit with. I sat there for 3 hours hitting refresh and seeing their ugly ass damn over capacity logo on the front page. It almost made me as sick as seeing the twitter whlae.</p>
<p>What made matters worse is that they had some fuck on twitter RTing people saying that they got their tickets, but apparently ignored the 10 bazillion tweets about how much they sucked.</p>
<p>I think the worst thing about this crap was when I could get on the ticket page, some days and types of tickets were already blocked out, but later on, they would show up.. then disappear, it was a cluster fuck. I ended up getting 2 adult passes for Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. At the time that I bought those days, Saturday was blocked out, but then I found out that Saturday did not sell out until 3 hours later which pissed me off even more. These guys are fucking jack asses and i am pissed beyond belief that the Comic-con organizers did not make sure that whomever they are contracting out to knows what the fuck they are doing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I must say that Preview night was nice, but I think the organizers could have handled it better. Three years ago when i went to preview night, I got my registration and walked into the convention hall and was able to do what I needed. This year after getting my pass, along with my daughter, I got corralled into this massive line that literally encompassed the entire outer rim of the upper level. I had to go down this huge hall and sit and wait for twenty minutes, move 6 feet then wait another 15, then slowly but surely we followed a path all the way back to where the registration area was before we were ushered towards the escalators to the main convention floor. Why this was needed was beyond me. It cut into our time at the preview night tremendously and did nothing but irritate the fuck out of me.</p>
<p>Once on the floor we searched out the TokiDoki booth and bought some stuff for Molly and also for Jocelyn. I headed over to the COH booth and got my Ghoul card and then wandered around the rest of the convention floor as time was passing by too quickly. Molly and I left shortly after that.<br />
<span id="more-154"></span><br />
There are two kinds of people at the Con, people that are there to get stuff, and people like myself who are there for the experience and enjoy the people. I could spend all day long just sitting there taking pictures of people dressed up, or sitting and watching panel after panel. Not spending a single dime on buying anything. I enjoy the convention floor, but could spend all day on the second level with the panels and where the people dressed up hang out. Thursday will be a fun filled day and I will enjoy myself to no end.</p>
<p>Saw Michael Dorn, Marina Sirtis at the star trek booth where they were signing autographs, saw a place card for Brent Spiner, but he was not there. I am sure that I will run across him eventually. Got some solid video that I will eventually post, but right now just tired and the informaiton overload is just way too high.</p>
