Almost every year, I take a trip to the progressively popular San Diego Comic-Con. I started going more frequently these days because my brother-in-law happens to work for DC Comics. Since comic book movies are becoming much more popular, celebrities have been flocking to these events to promote their upcoming movies. This is perhaps the only reason I go to these things nowadays. Some celebrities that I was fortunate enough to see are some of the cast of Smallville (Allison Mack aka "Chloe", John Glover aka "Lionel Luther", Erica Durance aka "Lois Lane", and Clark's best friend Pete, but unfortunately no sexy Tom Welling), the Wayans brothers (Marlon and Shawn), the cast of "Van Helsing" (husband-material Hugh Jackman, the beautiful Kate Beckinsale, Will Kemp, Kevin J. O'Connor, etc.), Alfred Molina (Doc Ock from Spider-Man 2), and others. Those that I missed by a hair were my girl-crush Angelina Jolie (I LURVE HER!!!), former love Keanu Reeves, and Superman hottie Brandon Routh.

This year looks like it will be a very busy year due to the Con's growing popularity. It is expected to have over 100,000 attendees... PER DAY. I hate crowds, but I will be rubbing elbows with these people for one or two of the four days. Here are some of the highlighted events that they have scheduled on the program:




It looks like I'm going to miss Dane Cook on Thursday. Damnit. I haven't seen him live since before he became really famous. Fortunately, it looks like I may be able to see the Heroes cast. I've already seen George Takei, but I'm looking forward to seeing Milo Ventimiglia (Peter Petrelli). Woo hoo!
