AMC set up this crazy Walking Dead booth where you could get your pic taken as one of Michonne's zombies.

Your average in isle crowd. Some isles took over twenty minutes to negotiate due to crowds.

The Adult Swim booth was a big draw and right next to the 'Toon Tumblers booth. Seth Green cruised by preshow and the creators of Venture Brothers loved the 'Toon Tumbler glasses.

For you tattoo fans, it was interesting seeing the variety an differences in tat art. the difference between Oregon and California artists was astonishing.

I liked the movie, but not as much as the tattoo guy, obviously.

I'm working on drywalling my man cave and I know exactly what I'm puttin gin there next to a pinball machine.

I don't think many people know how much work really goes into this show, especially on the part of the exhibitors. SDCC has some crazy prices for all things from entry into the exhibit hall after hours to additional freight costs, and Internet access charges to the price of exhibitor badges.

 

If you do not have your freight inside the convention hall after a designated time, there is a charge of $1.19 per pound to have it hauled in. Can you imagine if you have a semi truck full of displays and books? A thousand pounds of late freight will cost you nearly two grand!

 

If you need Internet access to run credit/debit cards, it is an additional one hundred dollars per day. This should be automatically included with the price of your booth/table.

 

I used to work for a freight company in their trade show division. I am not kidding when I say shipping was usually the absolute cheapest part of attending a show. Most of the companies we dealt with didn't care if a shipment cost and extra $5000 just so long as it got there at the right time. And the $1.19 per pound might aggravate them, but it wasn't a deal breaker by any stretch. The thing to remember is that while they may apply to everybody, they're aimed at the Warner Bros., Sonys, Legos, and Hasbros.

Dear lord, please tell me that those come off with soap and water.
