Pop Critics headed to Comic-Con

Started by Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago

In some pretty awesome news yesterday, I found out that I’ll be going to the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con on July 24th-27th as a member of the press and I couldn’t be happier.
For those that know my history (or have read our About page), I used to do sports writing back in the day and covered most of the professional teams here in Phoenix, ... Continue reading »

    I've never been before Mike, but a huge congrats to you and PopCritics for being able to land this. I'm guessing you will have a good time. I look forward to the posts from your time there. Too bad both you and Jason could go together.

    But physically I'll be curled up in a little ball crying like a baby and screaming "Why not ME, God!? Why not ME?"

    You should live-blog the panels, and post pictures, lots of pictures (and video too). That is, go online and find out what's known about the various shows so that you'll be able to recognize what's news once you're at comic-con. Then sit there and relay everything that's said and shown in real time. If you can manage that (i.e. put us there), I along with a ton of other people will be glued to pop critics, refresh, refresh, refresh.

    There is actually some cool software out there that will allow me to update stuff live, so you see stuff refresh without even reloading...

    Now, if they have wireless there so that live-blogging is a realistic plan, I'll soooo do that :)

    That's okay, I guess. I get SXSW and the Austin Film Fest next year. I know it's not the same exactly, but still cool.

    Kudos to Mike for pulling it off so late in the game and to John over at The Movie Blog for helping out. Our goal next year: members of the Masters of the Web panel. Hey, it could happen!

    Members of the Masters of the Web Panel? Is that like He-Man and the Masters of the Universe?

    Yes - and they are all going to be wearing Christian Bale tights, capes, and masks...

    SXSW - nice!

    The last time I was in Austin was the summer/fall of 1991 when I was TDY at Fort Hood. A group of us would jaunt on over to Austin and check out the band scene. Loved it.

    How many times do I have to tell you I'm cool to stay by myself! I don't need a babysitter!
