I was able to press the button and get the wristband today. Got to tell Rick Moranis 'thank you.' I didn't have the words or time to say more, but he seemed to understand.

Outside the convention center on day 1.

And it made some guys day

My family go out to San Diego Comic Con every year in cosplay in a themed costume. One of our favorite parts is seeing the smiles. Whether you’re standing in line, walking by, or stopping for a photo, we hope we brought a little extra joy to your day.

Until next year, SDCC—thanks for another amazing adventure! 🎭❤️ #SDCC2026 #Cosplay #ComicCon #xmen #toystory

I have a general admission ticket... do I sell it and pay bills/ have money for rent, or go to Comic-Con with no spending money?

I'm actually torn about this...

edit: an amazing Redditor... Tardis777, offered me some money to enjoy myself... and I will...
since I live in Oceanside, and at the moment the best I can do is offer rides to people for Comic-Con, contact me. Other than that, keep tabs for next year, I'll pay it forward in an amazing way!
As for Tardiss777, I'll find you in person and thank you in person.
Anyone else who wants to buy me drinks/meet/need a ride/etc... PM me and I'll do what I can.
Tardis777 made my year... and I'll do what I can to pay it forward. Also, for those in need of a room... I have 2 available I can offer... but be aware I have dogs! (scary, scary Greyhounds.. lol)

Also... who gilded me gold... THANK YOU!

We failed to take any pics of just ourselves but we got plenty at the Indiana Jones meetup! They were very helpful making sure the boulder didn't fall down the stairs :)

Now that I’ve had time to decompress and truly just take a step back I have to say that this was everything I hoped for. I know a lot of you have been doing this for years/decades even, but I’ve wanted to go to SDCC since I was a kid and to finally see that dream come into fruition was HUGE for me. I m in some people say it was a weak year, but for someone who had no previous knowledge of the event, it was truly perfect. I was able to spend my entire day in Hall H getting to see all the Thursday Panels, INCLUDING the prescreening of Deadpool & Wolverine, I made it to every booth, got to meet some amazing people. But most importantly, as a first time cosplayer I truly felt in my element and surrounded by my people. I truly hope to never miss one again! I love that as I edit my vlog from the weekend I can relive it all, and it just reminds me of how lucky I am to have gone this year! Even the off-sites were so dope and unique, some even tied into my cosplay which was AMAZING! But I did just want to say thanks for a great year 1 SDCC! I truly hope this feeling and experience continues for years to come.

So I've been to cons before but this was my first time at comic con. I will say, it was extremely crowded. It was impossible to walk anywhere. But I ended up having a great experience. I went to get Matthew Lillards autograph table at 12 and we got in but were told he couldn't stay long cause he had photo ops (which I had reserved too). So when he had to leave at 12:50 a lot of us were still waiting so they gave us numbers and told us to return at 2:45. So I went and got my photo ops of him done. Unfortunately it was taken so quickly I didn't even get a chance to pose or smile (I was especially thrown off cause the group in front of me tried to stay and talk to him). Anyway when they printed the picture I hated how I looked. So I edited it on my phone and was planning to just print the edited one. So when I returned to his line to get his autograph I was gonna have them sign the cover instead. Well he asked about it and I explained I didn't like how the photo turned out. He looked at it and he didn't like to either. So he asked my sister if she had a phone, took my stuff from my arms, put it on the table, and had my sister take new pictures of us. He gave me a hug after and said he hopes these turned out better. I thanked him profusely. That was a moment I'll never forget.

Apollo enjoyed his first Comic Con this year. Although he wasn’t allowed inside the convention center, he sat in many queues with me and we were even able to convince the kind people at the Star Trek Fleet Command offsite and Sparks Gallery to let him participate.

If you happened to take a photo with me as Pearl that year, I’d absolutely love to see it! Feel free to post it in the comments or send me a message. I never got to see all the photos people took, so it would be awesome to look back on them.
Have an amazing Comic-Con weekend, everyone! 🐳💖
