A Trip to Comic-Con in Celebrity Tweets

I’ll admit, I’ve never paid much attention to Comic-Con, San Diego’s annual geekfest spectacular. In fact, I’d never even heard of it until the teenage characters on “The O.C.” used it as a pretext for an illicit Tijuana road trip. But for thousands of people from across the U.S., and even around the world, it’s the travel event of the year—and this time around I too found myself following along, through the tweets of my favorite Hollywood celebrities.

Herewith, a brief, vicarious trip through the wacky world of the Con, from departure to exhausted arrival home:

@Jon_Favreau: Getting excited for the Con. Loading up the minivan. That’s right. I drive a fucking minivan. Deal with it.

@wilw: The legends are true: Comicon is packed to the walls with awesome.

@wilw: Just saw the coolest steampunk cosplayers I’ve ever seen. Not nearly as scary as Serious Business Stormshadow guy.

[Ed. note: If anyone can tell us what this statement means, we’d appreciate it.]

@wilw: Now: relaxing train ride with new comic books, a beer, my fellow geeks, and the sun setting over the ocean most of the way. #averygoodday

@NathanFillion: Comicon- seems like forever since we were together. We were good together, even after the kick to my junk. But I’ve started dating reality.
