the normal posts will be interrupted by me going to Comic Con until Sunday afternoon, and the utter lack of decent sleep until Sunday night. Pardon the interruption!

 It's been since 2019 that Comic Con has been either cancelled or very limited, and this year it seems to will be back to it's normal fun and insane amount of things to see and explore. 

If you've ever been to SEMA, you'll understand the SIZE of  big convention, but, not the spread of one like Comic Con San Diego, which pretty much takes over a couple dozen city blocks of hotels, all the outdoor spaces and small parks in between, etc etc. It's safe to say that most of San Diego downtown proper, from Island St to the waterfront at the south side of the Embarcadero Park at all Comic Con, all week from Wednesday to Sunday night. Traffic is rerouted, streets are shut down to pedestrians only, etc etc. 

It's probably several times larger than SEMA, though not much less indoors of the Convention Center, and the adjoining hotels. Those summed up are about half the size of the indoor area of the Las Vegas Convention Center during SEMA. 

Anyway, there are a LOT of things going on, even using the Petco Stadium across the street, and Hard Rock Hotel, etc etc. MANY big corporations put on individual off site events, like a Grey Man training program "experience" using a train car... as a publicity event for the Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans movie. IMDB, Netflix, Apple, HBO, Paramount, Marvel, etc etc are all doing stuff here and there. It's a blast if you enjoy tv shows, movies, and conventions that are NOT about attending for business (thing D23, CTN Expo, etc, FUN stuff) 

So, I might not post for days, because I will need every moment away from the convention center to eat, shower, and sleep. 

Reminder, there are over 51,000 posts,... go back and look at something from way back when.
