Why We're Here

As a first time attendee to SDCC last year, and as a parent, I was excited, but also apprehensive about taking my 11 year old to a convention with 125,000 other people in a city 3000 miles from home. I research everything like crazy, so I was surprised to find little if nothing about activities, events, and programs targeted specifically to kids at the con. Yes, Sunday is designated as Kids Day, but what's there to do if you need a break from the convention center on Friday when the crowds get too overwhelming? Where can you find the best ice cream to console your child when you don't get into the panel for their favorite animated series? And how do you make sure you get into that panel in the first place?

This blog will hopefully answer some of those questions and more. We don't claim to be the experts, but as previous attendees, we want to share what we learned so that other families can have a great time as well.

So if you know of activities, offsite events, tips and comments, please feel free to share them-the more the better! And most importantly, we hope you have a great time at SDCC!
