After getting a bunch of feedback from you, and you know who YOU are, I'm taking the time to provide more of a wrap up on Comic Con a couple weeks back. (PS sorry you weren't satisfied with the Tea with Lemon blog)
Right, so starting with the beginning ~ this year my CCI job changed a bit, rather than traipsing around with the groups this time my job was to manage the room so to speak.... The upshot of not running around was that I got to see everyone that came into the room. I have to admit though, that this was a real job and there were times that in the process of doing my *job* I missed someone that was there. And like my previous post I didn't see Johnny Depp, I just saw his very nervous (freaked out) behavior on YouTube like everyone else did.
Day One was the day that *supposedly* ruined so many con attendees con.....
Yep, Twilight was there on Thursday. On Wednesday people were lined up overnight to get into Hall H for the Twilight panel scheduled. Robert Patterson was looking sloppy but cute
and the other two main stars were there. Kristen Stewart is currently filming The Runaways - and she's playing Joan Jett, hence the hair cut and tomboy look...
I told someone at my work that Kristen Stewart walked up to the desk where I was working and asked me something or another (I really don't remember what she asked ~ it may have been asking where the bathroom was…. Can’t recall) but she was so excited that she had her own 6 degree-type-experience through me, so I thought I’d tell you as well. I have to say that Kristen Stewart is teeny tiny!!!! She’s size uber-small and petite.
That day I also saw Andy Sanberg, Zoe Salanda (she’s SO beautiful!!!)
I also unexpectedly bonded with Vern Troyer –he was at Comic Con for the The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus film - he / his people needed a favor so I did ‘what I could’. Before he left he actually drove up (on his little cart thing) near me to thank me ~ we’re now BFF’s clearly! ;) I really wanted to see Terry Gilliam but didn’t see him anywhere….
Day Two – Warner Bros. day
Okay so Warner Bros. day had loads of stars attending their 2 ½ hour panel. Where the Wild Things Are, Book of Eli, the newest Nightmare on Elm St film, The Box, Jonah Hex, Sherlock Holmes and Robert Rodriguez’ Shorts. What a morning!!!! Seriously.
Entertainment Weekly was meeting with anyone who’s anyone and going to Comic Con over at the Hard Rock hotel before they came over to the convention center. You can view the EW photos here. So after posing for the camera they made their way to the con.
Robert Downey Jr came with Rachel McAdams for Sherlock Holmes (can’t wait for that movie!). Notice RDJ’s outfit – he’s very dressed to the nines and ended up being very coordinated the whole weekend.
Book of Eli cast was full of heavy HEAVY hitters – Gary Oldman, & Denzel Washington. It was just awesome to be in the same room!
Cameron Diaz, James Marsters and Josh Brolen were there too….
Megan Fox was at the Con for Johna Hex, and while I know from two WonderCon’s ago she is amazingly beautiful – but she should fire her current stylist! She looked like a bad goth girl and was not stunning or pretty…
Paul Bettany and Tyrese were there and both were SMOKIN’ Hot!
An unexpected treat for me, I was needed to help out with talent escorting in the afternoon. So while my post was covered I went down to the secret drop off area and had the pleasure of greeting Emily Deschanel of TV Show Bones (which I watch and love). Emily was polite and beautiful said hi and shook my hand. She is truly a ‘natural’ beauty.
I missed the panel itself so I’ll have to wait for the fall season but it was a joy to have had the "meet & greet" experience!
Day Three – Lost & Stark
Lost, the cast, made an appearance at Comic Con (as they have been doing for years now). I must say Nestor Carbonell was pretty amazing to see in person cause he’s hot on TV and it just gets better in real life. The panel was pretty funny and if you look for it on YouTube I’m sure you’ll find video of Jorge Garcia asking a question of the creators in the audience question line…. Pretty funny!
Zombieland was premiered and Woody Harrelson was there along with other cast members.
My unusual Woody moment was when I looked over and from somewhere Woody was all of a sudden holding a corn on the cob and was chowing down. I couldn’t tell if it was cooked or not but there’s no way it was warm and it definitely didn’t come from the convention center catering! LOL
Robert Downey Jr was back on Saturday for Iron Man with cast members. Again looking dapper he arrived on scene with Don Cheadle (SO love him!), Sam Rockwell, and drum roll please…… Scarlett Johansson! Yes the bombshell was there to rock the socks off of the fan boys camped out in Hall H. And rock them she did. She rocked me that’s for sure!!! She is Stunning!!!
Seriously, she’s feminine, curvy and beautiful….
And check out those shoes! I almost gave myself whiplash trying to get a good look at those shoes! Whew!
Day Four – winding down….
Sunday is the beginning of the end when you are at Comic Con. Hall H is closed and we all start to feel a bit more relaxed.
While working with the Paper Heart group I had an unexpected run in with
As you can see from the below pic he’s wearing this great stormtrooper shirt
When he showed up I just blurted out “I love your shirt!” He had the biggest smile and the cutest accent when he thanked me and told me that ‘it seemed the best choice for the day’.
So nice that in the end of it all I had a nice unexpected run in with someone that I’m a fan of….
Right, so there you go that’s my wrap up. Thanks for your time!

Sounds like you had a good time though!!!
Mol
And to think you take leave/vacation from a good paying job to walk and talk with the stars. Are you crazy or just lucky?
I am glad you did not work so hard this year.
