Top Ten Must Haves for San Diego Comic-Con Survival Kit

1. Official Comic-Con App

2. Metro Transit Regional Day Passes are $5 with a Compass Card ($7 without: $5 Day Pass plus $2 for reusable Compass Card) and available from ticket vending machines

3. External Battery - Because someone else may get to a plug before you.

4. Travel Power Strip - If you do get to a plug first you share it with others.

5. Gadget Bag - Keep all your gadgets and wires nice and neat http://amzn.com/B005GD9W46

6. WhatsApp - Just found out about this app a couple of days ago. Keep connected by messages with your friends. 

7. Water bottles

8. Dress in layers - It can be freezing inside the center. It will be hot outside, so be pre parted to peel off layers as needed.

9. Wear comfortable shoes or sneakers - You will be walking a lot.

10. Buy some fruits from the supermarket - A nice healthy snack and cheaper than the expensive food inside the convention center.

San Diego Comic-Con is here!

Another exciting  time begins

Sorry, once again for my absence. I've been busy drawing, trying to get a new agent and making sure all of my obligations have been taken care of before Comic-Con.

I'll be back with reviews and photos maybe of the con. I have to give my opinion review of the Spidey movie. And then get back down to business.

I'm here at Comic-Con so I'm off to enjoy the show!
