I did it. I got Comic-Con. I didn’t just go. I ROCKED it. I hit my panels, I hosted my bar night. I made friends, I met people. I BONDED with the best of the best. For the most part, I had the experience I set out to have. I handled my press situations without barf or fainting. I got to hug a number of ladies I have been in love with for AGES. I spent time with TONS of amazing people. Though I have to say, there were so many friends there, Billions of hours never would have been enough.

I thought the lines would be painful but I whiled away my time, talking about Firefly, Vampire Diaries, Bones, Buffy, Angel, Chuck, Dexter, True Blood, Supernatural, Friday Night Lights, Veronica Mars, EVERY OTHER SHOW I’VE EVER WATCHED!! I seriously got to talk about my TV shows non-fucking-stop for 4 days with super smart people who knew what the hell I was talking about!!!! I was partied to some amazingly cutting edge TV conversations, dirty jokes and insane inside scoop!!! Comic-Con was my heaven!! It was everything I wanted and then some. I miss it every day that I am not there. Though I know that “there” is already gone. One thing I know for sure, is that it would not have been possible without a little help from my friends.
A few thank yous!!!

As far as Celebs go – Zach Levi gets my A+ Star of approval even though I personally never got the balls to ask for a photo or autograph. From the start of the Chuck panel to the end of the Jared thing, he was the classiest person within a hundred miles. He raised money, he hugged fans, he paid tribute to his show and acknowledged how hard we all worked to get Chuck a Season 5. I love that throughout SDCC, he was always out for the greater good. Wanna know how to be awesome: See Zach Levi in the dictionary. Jared Padalecki and Paul Wesley were also A.Fucking.Mazing. Beautiful and awesome. I'll be forever grateful for their kindness.
I'm sure I'll have more later. To summarize the entire weekend = WAY BEYOND FUCKING EPIC
