Comic-Con 2009 line growing
Sci-fi, fantasy, anime and comic book fanatics who want to get front row seats for the hottest properties in 2009 had better head down to San Diego now.
As this line taken outside the San Diego Convention Center today shows, fans are already lining up by the thousands to get front row seats for the best panels and presentations at Comic-Con 2009, which will be held next July.
"I was outraged and appalled that I didn't get to ask ['Watchmen' director] Zach Snyder my very important question about the engineering schematics of Night Owl's ship 'Archie' in the film," said Jacob Helsen, who started the Comic-Con 2009 line on July 24, the second day of Comic-Con 2008. "I'm already formulating my questions for 2009 and am determined I will get to ask them."
San Diego city officials have decided to install port-a-pottys and support the line of 2,700 (and growing) people waiting for Comic-Con 2009 because of the year-round financial boost they are providing for local comic book, videogame, and toy stores, as well as the city's Taco Bell and Arby's franchises.
