I showed up around 10-1030. Got in about 11am. Actually a little after because I was too late for the animation panel. I'd say it was 30-45mins to get in. The line up to purchase tickets at the time was more than an hour, according to one of the volunteers.
I went straight to the Corral to see the TNG panel with Spiner, WW and Lavarr Burton. Had no trouble getting a seat, although it was busy. Took a few pics. Waited for Adam West, who was way late, and then was told not to leave the Corral because the Fire Marshal had shut everything down. Was told if I left it would be for good.
Eventually I left the Corral without ever seeing West and wondered for a bit. Took some more photos and was given #### by the slutty Elektra/Catwoman etc who said I had to pay $5 to even take a picture of them. ####s.
Tried to go outside for a smoke and noticed all entry points were blocked by volunteers and told once again that if I left it would be for good. This was around 2pm.
I then went to the Boyce theatre for which there was a very long line for Hayden Panettiere who was at 3pm. At least it became long. I ended up getting there right as the last Adam Baldwin people went in and ended up being 3rd in line. Got to see her right up close but her Q&A wasn't particularly interesting. I really wanted to ask about the SC pics and if she's a hockey fan but was beat out by an onslaught of Heroes Q's.
After that I wondered and then left at 430. At that time they told me again that if I left I couldn't come back and there was still a huge line to get in.
I had a decent time but it is obvious they need more room. The entire autograph/photo area was insane. It was quite busy when I went last night. Dropped a bunch of cash on comic books. I only bought 1 book from Bertuzzied's booth so I didn't bother with Great Save Tanev!!! to save a buck.
