Comic-Con
2014:
Preview Night
We arrived early. We got our badges early and were able to see a lot of set-up going on. Certainly, you don't want to shut down the downtown area longer than you have to, but somehow, seeing the frenzy of people during the daylight hours of Preview Night, it felt like Comic-Con wasn't quite ready for Comic-Con either.
Nobody ever is. You just have to let it wash over you. Because by the time the doors open, it's happening.
