Photos of San Diego Comic-Con preparation: 2 days to go!
Stunning white face stares from Petco Park across Harbor Drive. Nobody attending 2015 San Diego Comic-Con could possibly miss this advertisement!
Now just a bit over two days to go until 2015 San Diego Comic-Con officially opens!
I walked early and late yesterday around the convention center and Gaslamp. Workers were busy all over the place getting stuff ready.
For your enjoyment, I present another batch of photos showing all sorts of cool sights!
Once Upon a Time building wrap on Petco Park. Evil isn’t born. It’s made.A local television reporter stands near entrance to the Gaslamp, previewing 2015 Comic-Con on camera for the evening news.Is that legendary cartoonist and animator Chuck Jones? No. But it’s his namesake gallery on Fifth Avenue, open and ready for fans of classic pop culture and cool art.Analog in the Gaslamp Quarter has a 20 percent discount on food for Comic-Con attendees with badge.More Analog fun . . . Cosplay Super Karaoke! I didn’t know Han, Luke and Leia had formed a musical trio.Half of a large wrap applied to Hard Rock Hotel building. Resembles the Ascension graphics from last year.Other half of the cosmic, purple wrap. I see an asteroid field and spaceship.I see Lego Dimensions characters Superman, Batman and Gandalf in this graphic on the Hard Rock Hotel.More Lego Dimensions images on the south side of the Hard Rock Hotel. You’re gonna need a bigger imagination.The wrap on the west wall of Petco Park is finished. It promotes Vikings on the History Channel. May the Norse be with you!The Ubisoft Assassin’s Creed obstacle course is half-completed. The configuration appears slightly different from last year.Looks realistic. Or is it real, and those workers have super strength?Hannibal. Savor the Hunt. Creepy banners hung at the Gaslamp trolley station.The complex and interesting Heroes Reborn venue was being erected throughout the day Monday.As evening approached, guys were attaching some kind of black canopy to the steel structure.Banners at Gaslamp trolley station promote Heroes Reborn, on NBC.For 2015 the Tin Fish restaurant is decked out with NBC Blindspot graphics.Behind the San Diego Convention Center, workers prepare a scary looking building, part of the FX Fearless Arena Experience.A second, larger building is also rising, across the grass at Hilton Bayfront Park.The Strain building wrap on the Hilton is nearing completion, a couple days before Comic-Con begins.Another long structure is being set up nearby, and it appears there are many prop trees that go with it.These smiling folks were heading along the bay walkway with a sign containing Comic-Con shuttle information.Lastly, Adult Swim is hosting a huge play area behind the convention center.Here’s a bunch of colorful stuff that must be unpacked and set up before 2015 San Diego Comic-Con begins on Thursday.Looks like a life-size version of Rick and Morty’s flying saucer!
Downtown San Diego has been my home for many years. My online activities reflect my love for writing, blogging, walking and photography.
