Any one intrested in Comic Con. I will likely be going this year. I was not able to go to the 2011 Comic Con because I was in North Carolina for the summer. My uncle works at comic con every year. I am eager to sample all the new video games and see the people from the G4 channel, I might see some celebrities if I am lucky. They allways have the coolest of stuff every year. I even cought a glimpse of Samuel Jackson one time. I will answer most of your questions.
You would think since we live in LA or close to it we could see E3 or comic more easily but personally i find the tickets thy sell here way overpriced.
Since my uncle has been volunteering for years he is well know and I can get a pass and even skip all the lines. I think volunteers get a free pass or two but nowadays it is very selective. I might volunteer next year.
