SDCC 2013 DAY ONE

So we drove into San Diego from the L.A. area, with a few pit stops along the way. Beautiful drive, last year I did it in the dark!

I didn't have preview pass so we had to go to Town and Country to get my badge, the car line up fromt he highway, off ramp and around the the street the hotel is on took almost 2 hours. Inside, the line was less than 20 minutes.

We came and checked into our hotel, the Hilton Bayfront. Last year we had Hard Rock and I have to say, I much prefer this hotel.

We then went to get my roomies badge at the convention centre then meet our other roomie at the Ender's Game fan Experience.

The experience was awesome! You got an i.d. card with your photo, a pin, and to go through several rooms from the movie with actual movie props! incredible!

On our way to the line we saw Asa Butterfield walk by then talked to Hailee Steinfeld, who I am excited to see in upcoming Romeo & Juliet along with Ender's Game. She was in True Grit also!

 
This is what is looked like outside.
