1. Just, Like, Have Fun
To give you an idea of why I love SDCC so much, I’ll share with you my favorite Comic-Con story.
I was walking on the con floor, and noticed that my shoe had come undone so I stepped off to the side to tie it. As I was kneeling down, I heard something from the crowd nearby. It seemed that two friends had gotten separated in the mass of people as I heard a guy call out his buddy’s name from the packed mob. His friend shouted back, but they seemed unable to properly locate each other. After a couple seconds of silence, the first guy’s voice rang out, sharp and loud, belting out one word: “Marco!†A second later from elsewhere in the crowd came the response: “Polo!†They kept shouting their call and response, getting louder and louder as they grew closer together. When the two guys reached each other, the entire mob of people around them stopped and burst into applause.
It was this beautiful human moment I will never forget. And that’s why I go to Comic Con. And if you want a story like that, buy your ticket and let’s have some fun together. Welcome to Comic-Con, you’re among friends.
