#ThrowbackThursday: Once Upon a San Diego Comic Con #SDCC

Throwback Thursday is the theme of the day! We share with you our adventures throughout book signings, world premieres, mall tours and many others.

A book began the bond of a lifetime...

Today on Throwback Thursday we are sharing with you Taimara's first attendance to San Diego Comic Con

One of the main words you can use to describe me is: Nerd, and it's every nerd's dream to attend SDCC at least once in their lifetime. In the year 2014 I got to scratch off that item from my Bucket List (although, to be honest, I want to re-write it on that list because I do intend to go at least one more time) and have the best time ever!

How would I describe my experience at Comic Con? With one simple word: AMAZING!

Even though I did not go to any of the panels nor attend the con per say (I wanted to have the freedom of enjoying everything that SDCC had to offer outside and around the convention center and, mostly, celebrity stalk...er...I mean, celebrity site), I must say I had the time of my life. It really is a nerdy person's natural habitat and we all are equals there, accepted and loved. To begin with, that entire part of the city just becomes part of the con: the nearby streets have billboards and buses going around with posters with some nerdy theme, the restaurants demand their staff to at least wear a nerdy shirt but preferably dress up in some cosplay, and there are so, so many events going on in the hotels nearby and, of course, at the Petco Park where NerdHQ takes over along with Nerdist Industries to bring you some more panels and photo ops (all funds from these events are donated to Operation Smiles). The fun is honestly never ending -well, until they start picking everything up again on Sunday.

But I've done enough blabbing for now, let me show with pictures all that I mean.

See, only at SDCC will you...

Be able to create a "Stalking List" and know you will get to see most, if not all of them (I missed Daniel Radcliffe by a hair and almost got to go to a party where Matt Smith was doing the drunk giraffe)

Find a Stormtrooper pulling a man in a wheelchair around

See a pirate driving around a tiny little Mad Hater

See not one, but two Khaleesi strolling around together

Double decker buses promoting your favorite TV show

A statue of Godzilla that actually roared

Find a "Homer Dome" peaking out from the ground staring at and judging you

Find a smaller version of the real TARDIS that actually sounds just like it AND it flies!

Get a slice of pizza from (one of) your favorite childhood super heroes

Meet Optimus Prime (although I admit I thought he was way taller than this!)

Get to see Gotham City in person and zip line through it

Get to feel more at home than anywhere else inside Petco Park with all its gloriousness inside, such as:

Meeting two fabulous Lady Lokis

Meeting Sonic the Hedgehog!

Climbing down walls like Spider-Gwen

And go to the bathroom and run into a celebrity YouTuber: ComicBookGirl19 (check out her video podcast if you haven't already, it's SO awesome!)

Also, only at SDCC...

Movie Trailers: Suicide Squad | The Man from U.N.C.L.E. | Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

These movie trailers were released during this year's San Diego Comic Con International. So if you were like me and unavailable to see them when they were released, you can catch up now.

First up we have DC Entertainment's big one coming out August 2016 that is bringing several A-listers.

SUICIDE SQUAD

Suicide Squad has a crazy line-up of stars:

Ben Affleck as Batman
Will Smith as Deadshot
Jared Leto as The Joker
Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang
Cara Delevingne as Enchantress
Jay Hernandez as El Diablo
Adam Beach as Slipknot
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc
and many more!!!

Suicide Squad hits theaters nationwide August 5th 2016!

Next up we have another I'm excited for since its stars one of my favorite (sexy) actors. Henry Cavill of course! Enjoy the 5 minute long trailer now.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Here is the synopsis:

In the early 1960s, CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB operative Illya Kuryakin participate in a joint mission against a mysterious criminal organization, which is working to proliferate nuclear weapons.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. hits theaters August 14th 2015.

And last but definitely not the least, this next trailer I have been patiently waiting for since this movie is probably the one movie I am seriously waiting big time for. I know many are tooooooo!

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Batman will finally meet Superman, who isn't excited for this match up!!! Its about freaking time too. Plus the eye candy is pretty sweet if I say so. Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman and Ben Affleck will be the newest actor to take on the role of Batman.

Synopsis:

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis' most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters nationwide on March 25th 2016.

And there you have it folks just a couple of movie trailer that were released during this year's Comic Con in San Diego.
