Thursday started with a few panels. First up was a panel for The Witcher 3. This was followed by a panel for The Toy Story that Time Forgot. This was fun since Krysten Schall showed up. Next up was a panel for some Sean Bean show that Sean Bean didn't show up for. TNT spent a ton of money promoting this show, plastering the side of one of the towers at the Marriott and giving out tons of T-shirts that say "Don't kill Sean Bean" and he didn't show up. I was so disappointed. This was followed by another TNT show, the Last Ship. Comic-Con favorite Adam Baldwin was on the panel and he mugged for his fans.
Nokia 808: The NASA panel
The reason I sat through all these panels was for the NASA panel with Buzz Aldrin. The room was electric when he walked on stage and he got a standing ovation. The panel also had astronaut Mike Fincke, Bobak Ferdowsi (the mohawk guy) and Dr Jim Greene and was moderated by his son Seth Greene.
Nokia 808: I encountered some weird cosplay combos between panels
With panels out of the way, I went over to Petco Park to find some food. I scored free pizza from a Ninja Turtle exhibit. I then headed over to Hotel Solamar for the Hero Complex party.
Lumia 925: Too much alcohol
I was about 4 drinks in when the pizza started to rumble in my stomach. I had to push away my friend as my dinner spewed out of my mouth. After three more spews, security showed up and escorted me out. I saw a regular cab across the street but ended up taking a pedicab. By the time I got back to my hotel, the cabbie charged me a whopping $50. I didn't bother to argue to I paid and waddled to my room and slept.
