Comic-Con 2008: We're Not There, But You Might Be

We are probably one of the few blogs in the television blogosphere not out in full force at Comic-Con 2008.

And if you ain't got your pass by now, you ain't going.

And we don't, so we're not.

Bummer.

Still, it is worth noting that the hoopla begins Thursday, July 24th and runs through Sunday, July 27th at the San Diego Convention Center. Special preview night is Wednesday (July 23rd).

For those not in the know, what started out as the annual geek fest of all geek fests back in the 1970s (think Star Trek Convention on steroids) has become"the" place for movie studios and TV networks to reveal some of their biggest stars and hits - both present and forthcoming (think Charlize Theron in Aeon Flux or Robert Downey, Jr. and Gwenyth Paltrow in Iron Man ; Lost's J.J. Abrams is a regular fixture; the casts of hits like Heroes and Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles have been featured before we ever have seen them on the small screen).

Needless to say, it's a cool shindig.

For a full list of all the happenings for this year's installment, head on over to Comic-Con International's Official Web Site. It'll tell you who will be where, in what room, on what panel and in what quadrant of the San Diego Convention Center.

And hey, if you're going ... drop us a line and let us know how it is!
