San Diego Comic Con is less than a week away!
This time next week, thousands of nerds will be gathered in San Diego to celebrate whatever makes them geeky. I can't wait to be there!
With the con so soon, I thought I'd share some resources to help you make it the best experience ever! Some of these are specific to SDCC, while some are more general convention tips, so be sure to poke through even if you aren't going to SDCC (this year!).
Psst -- sometimes the best way to get information at the convention itself is Twitter. When you check out these links, be sure to follow them on Twitter as well! I actually made a Twitter list of the people I want to keep up with at the con.
Inside the Convention
- Of course, a great source is the official Comic Con website! Here's a quick link to the panel schedule.
- SDCC Blog is one of the best places to go for up-to-date info on vendors, guests, and general news.

Convention Tips

- Not cosplaying? Not sure what to wear? I posted about how to figure out your best outfit for SDCC last year.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to SDCC info and tips, but I hope it helps you out. I won't be liveblogging during the con, but I will be tweeting, Instagramming, and Facebooking my heart out, so be sure to follow for updates!
