By Ali Colluccio Days at Comic-Con: 4 Total hours of sleep: 15 Total number of drinks: lost track after 23... Time of brain death: Sunday, July 24, 12:47am PDT, Hyatt lobby bar Items crossed off To-Do list: 10 (out of 22)

While a veil of acceptance settled over most of the attendees of the just passed Big Show, a few people were still miserable, namely those who had to sleep out over night on concrete to get a ticket for next year, with the oft-heard, but seldom-heeded battle cry "I don’t think I’m coming next year."

One of the best stories coming out of Comic-con? After they had camped out for two days, diehard Twilight fans got a huge thrill when cast members showed up with some breakfast:

There's been much chatter out there that WonderCon doesn't have dates yet -- and indeed construction on the Moscone Center in SF means that the con doesn't yet have dates. Now, retailer Chuck Rozanski suggests, the big spring convention might be moving to Anaheim!

By James Urbaniak -- I was planning to arrive at San Diego Thursday morning but I ended up getting a callback for one of my trademarked red herring characters on a crime procedural for Thursday afternoon. (Seriously, why do I still have to audition for these red herrings? But that's another blog post.) So I ended up taking the train from Los Angeles Thursday night. I arrived around 11:00 pm. An Adult Swim party was in full swing but I was tired and carrying bags. Dr. Venture took a cab to his hotel.

The Douche Army has packed up their Desigual and headed back home, leaving Sunday for comics here at Comic-Con. It's been an action packed week of parades, parties and panels. The big news from the show? Was it Andrew Garfield at the Spider-Man panel? Was it Tintin? Was it Paul Pope and Matt Wagner joining Frank Miller at Legendary Comics? Was it Fantagraphics adding EC to its reprint line-up? Or was it just the "Angoulême of Pop Culture" feeling of the town all week? From the Conan O'Brien Art Gallery to Tr!ckster to Marvel's Monster Truck display, the entire Gaslamp has become one big festival of pop culture, more so than ever before. Last night the klieg lights were on star power with the COWBOYS & ALIENS premiere -- Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Steven Spielberg and Jon Favreau did the old school red carpet for the premiere while the E!/SyFy party had the block closed down for arrivals.
