I'm not gonna watch any of the Day 1 footage until after I get back tomorrow. No need to spoil what is and isn't on the floor for me.

Haha. That's awesome Mac!!

I'm  f u c k i i n g  exhausted!!! Sooooooo tired. Saw and did a lot of stuff today. Where to begin?

I got to play the demo for Tomb Raider (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/video-games/tomb-raider/msg10542/#msg10542) and Hitman, both of which look AMAZING!!!!! I saw a ton of celebrities too. Didn't get to see or meet my dream girls Kristen Bell or Summer Glau. But I was literally right next to Gene Simmons (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/music/kiss-(the-original-lineup)-discography/msg1604/#msg1604). I saw the cast of The Big Bang Theory (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/dvd's-blu-rays/the-big-bang-theory-(season-1-200708)/msg5222/#msg5222). The one cast member that wasn't there or I didn't see was Jim Parsons. I also saw Guillermo Del Toro who was there hyping up Pacific Rim (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/movies/pacific-rim/msg2035/#msg2035). They had some amazing costumes from the film on display.

I also saw Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz from Bones (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/tv/bones-(season-7)/msg1386/#msg1386). I also saw the cast from H + (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/new-board/h/msg10411/#msg10411). But the BIGGEST commotion was for the cast of The Walking Dead (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/tv/the-walking-dead-(season-3)/msg3072/#msg3072). Everybody and I mean EVERYBODY went bonkers when they came out for their autograph session. A lot of people were getting carried away and becoming pushy trying to get closer. I just stayed back. I wasn't about to get trampled on. Bah!!

Who else did I see? Ahhhhh. I saw the Hoffenator (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/movies/all-things-horror/msg8497/#msg8497) as well as Lou Ferrigno (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/tv/the-celebrity-apprentice-(season-12)/msg6434/#msg6434)

I picked up a couple of sketchbooks from J. Scott Campbell (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/comic-books-and-art/art-spotlight-thread/msg4004/#msg4004) and wouldn't you know it, but the godfather of Comics himself,Stan Lee (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/books/stan-lee's-how-to-draw-comics-stan-lee/msg9878/#msg9878) cut in line to chat it up with Campbell. No one, myself included was disappointed at this. It's the closet I've ever been to royalty.

Kind of irrelevant, but I saw the 'dating Goth' from The Amazing Race (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/tv/the-amazing-race-(season-19)/msg1818/#msg1818) just walking around. They were there as paying costumers, not "Celebs". Just think of the dude that looked very gay and the chick that had Pink hair and a door knocker through her nose. Them.

There is more, but I can't remember anything else. Tired. Must lay down..........

These 'Live Show' recaps are probably the next best thing to actually being there. They run about 2 -3 hours long and do a pretty good job of giving and showing you all the  s h i t  that goes down. I will definitely watch them all. Gonna save them for when I'm working and have it as background noise.
