SDCC ’15: How was your Activation?

As many have noted, this year's San Diego Comic-Con was a success in that, unlike years past, no one got run over by a car, fell off a gate, got stabbed in the eye or died trying to get into a Twilight panel.

I wasn't even hungry once this show, for reasons I'll explain in down below. (Spoiler alert: trail mix.) However I joked around with the original "eating scraps" crew, filmmakers Jordan Renneart and Patrick Meaney about the bad old days many times. I think everyone joked about the bad old days when we didn't know how to survive Comic-Con. We're Navy Seals now, trained and elite.
