Church, then went to Comic Con! Well, not really. More like walked its perimeter to hoard free stuff. But still, it was nice.
You know what wasn't nice though? The drive there. We were running late since church ended at 1, so we ate in the car. Greasy chicken nuggets, barbecue sauce, and freeways are not a good mixture at all.
Anyway, back to Comic Con. We got there really late, but we still managed to see some pretty nice things. Like these Tetris ladies advertising Tetris Blitz.

| I don't know how that guy in the foreground's leaning so far back on his chair. |
 |
| Didn't get a picture of the I block girl because she broke her neck after trying to walk through a door. |
We also saw a few neat cosplayers in here.
 |
| Deadpool tried to kill me. Also, I look the same in every picture. |
 |
| This... guy? |
 |
| Well, he got the girl, so I guess it worked? |
Then hit up the Nintendo Lounge. Got to ride a pirate ship.
 |
| Told you I look the same in every photo. |
Got shoved down an exit pipe by Nintendo staff because I didn't have a badge. Worth it though.
 |
| I look strangely compliant for someone about to be banned from Comic Con. |
Also found a Pikachu accidentally exposed to near-lethal quantities of Pokérus.
 |
| What an abomination. |
Resisted arrest and walked around Comic Con a bit more. Got some nice free things, including this poster from The Oatmeal, which is awesome.
 |
| I'm hanging this in my room. No joke. |
And an ADVENTURE TIME SHIRT.
 |
| The single greatest free thing I've ever gotten. |
Also visited the Sega Lounge, which was boring compared to the Nintendo Lounge. But hey, they had a pretty nice giant statue of Sonic out there.
 |
| "We're number 1 because we're riding piggy-back on Nintendo's success!" |
 |
| "Eh... it's less 'platonic' and more 'parasitic,' I'd say" |
We also saw a few Jesus protesters out there after we left to walk to Horton Plaza, where we parked. Unfortunately, dad forgot exactly where we parked. This wouldn't be such a bad thing under normal circumstances since I'm pretty good with on-foot navigation. But this is Horton Plaza we're talking about. And it looks like something designed by M. C. Escher.

We eventually found our way back. As soon as I touched the car, I fell asleep, exhausted, and when I woke up, I was in my garage in total darkness. My parents didn't bother tell me that we arrived.
Well. Time to go pack my things since we go on vacation tomorrow! Blog entries might not be formatted as nicely as before since I'll be posting exclusively from my phone, but I'll try to make it legible!
RFotD: Horton Plaza is named after Alonzo Horton, who was responsible for Downtown San Diego's current location. In essence, he is indirectly responsible for Comic Con overcrowding.
SGAT: None really.
