NPR on SDCC
You want a quote-civilian’s-unquote perspective on SDCC?
NPR has you covered:
Caped Crusaders Descend On San Diego
Comic Convention Draws Record Crowds
Librarians Harvest New Manga Titles At Comic-Con
As might be expected from radio, the articles linked above are just to whet your appetite; there is close to 8 minutes of audio split amongst the three reports (two 3 and 1/2 minute stories and the first short teaser).
And the NPR stories led me to KPBS based out of San Diego — now here is a damn fine use of your pledge-break dollars: KPBS set up a Comics Con Blog with local reportage, embedded video, images, and a fair amount of coverage:
I’m not sure I want to be there, in point of fact, but between Comipress and Ms. McDonald and Comics212’s flickr stream and the KPBS blog linked above, I know that yes, in fact, SDCC is one damn big con.
KPBS might be a link to save for next year (and the year after, and…) as CCI has a contract that keeps them in San Diego up through 2012.
