For anyone who’s ever wondered what a day at San Diego Comic-Con might be like—and I know there must be one or two of you—here are some highlights from this year’s coolest convention with Selwyn Hinds and me. (I say that with nary a hint of snark, by the way; this is our fifth SDCC!) There’s also some fun video at the end, but I won’t spoil the surprise.

Let the fandom begin…

Thank goodness I'm not in the unpopular arts.

Visited the TARDIS! (And geeked out, clearly.)

Battled the Lord of the Nazgûl. (Seriously. Armor.)

Enjoyed some awesome milling around in the exhibitors' hall.

Stumbled on Jim Butcher, author of one of our faves, The Dresden Files.

And just when I think we might be *too* dorktastic, this guy appears!

Last but not least, just in case you’re wondering if any work actually got done,

I hosted a raucous panel with the cast and producers of Syfy’s Being Human

that may or may not qualify, if the video’s any indication…
