sometimes it's so much better to just absorb the news from the internet in the comfort of your own home
I have a 45 min commute each way to work, so podcasts serve as a nice diversion from the tedium of NPR just reporting the same story over and over agin, reported differently. But I DO hate that so much of internrt "news" is video clips designed for the short attention span crowd. Yes, sometimes a video is worth a thousand words - but not when it's just a ralking head.
I've been to 2 events at the ACC and it sounds about the same. At least mine were in Feb and May, so the heat wasn't an issue...
Well, LMA opended in 2005 also. And TSM has opened since then in 2008.
Not that I'm defending that park (cuz that's still pretty rediculous)...Just making sure the facts are all straight
As much as I would love to attend D23 someday, sometimes it's so much better to just absorb the news from the internet in the comfort of your own home
That is definitely how I would want to do it. Being the first through the doors, first to tweet a hundred pictures, first to fill bags full of merchandise - isn't for me.Bingo! I live 20 minutes away from the Anaheim Convention Center, but there's no way you could get me to be at Rope Drop on Day 1 of D23 Expo. It's just a drama-filled horde of people all trying to get their little piece of carpet to stand on in an exhibit hall. I'm a Silver Member! I'm a Gold Member! I flew in from New Jersey! It's August, they should give us water!
I will enjoy all the streaming videos and information for the next 48 hours, and it all arrives here in my den about 2 minutes after it's announced in a convention center venue.
But I will wait until Sunday afternoon to actually visit the Expo, like I always do. I will drive over in the early afternoon, stroll right in like a dignified human, and wander the exhibit halls for about two hours looking at only the coolest stuff. Then I go home.
What has been the main complaints today? I haven't been following Twitter.
Nope. There is the model, the Navi figure, a couple of small sculptures of some Pandora wildlife, and a some concept art that we have seen previously.
Lots of confusion between the workers of the convention. The legends ceremony was told to be full to people outside but had lots of empty seats inside. Lines have been cut off earlier than they have needed to be.
