You may find yourself awake at 7AM on a Saturday. You may find yourself dressed as a comic book character from a movie you never finished because you left the theater in the middle of it. You may find yourself half asleep inside a BART train. You may find yourself getting stared at by passengers because of your black suit, black trenchcoat, red tie, stylish black hat, and black mask you're wearing. You may find yourself walking to the Moscone Center. You may find yourself standing in line for two hours for a panel. You may find yourself getting asked to have your picture taken. You may ask yourself, "My God, are we inside yet?"

Letting the minutes go by, as the attendees trickle into the Esplanade Ballroom. Letting the photographers shoot pictures, as the costumed heroes pose. Into the seats we go, as the "Watchmen" panel begins. Once in a lifetime, you see the costumed heroes without their masks.

You may find yourself noticing blood on an exit sign. You may find yourself reading the WonderCon rules and requests. You may find yourself staring at the spacious stage where the panelists will speak. You may find yourself performing an epic fail.

The "Watchmen" panelists praise their film. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.* Click here for the "Watchmen" panel synopsis.

You may find yourself admiring the zoom on your camera. You may find yourself leading a damned dirty ape to the Masquerade registration. You find yourself being taken by your hand through mobs of people. You may find yourself with a new "Watchmen" Comedian pin.

Watching exclusive sneak peeks of "Astroboy." Watching Nicholas Cage develop a third facial expression. Watching cheesy B sci-fi movies remade into cheesy B sci-fi movies with current technology. Once in a lifetime, you're watching these sneak peeks before anyone else.

Back at the Dealers Hall, where there is plenty to see. And the goods cost plenty of coin. Mark Hamill's autograph goes for $100. But the second is only $90. Ryo-ohki's only costs $10. So there's money for her, and a memory for me.

You may find yourself easily recognized despite wearing a mask over your face. You may find yourself running back to the Esplanade Ballroom. You may find yourself suddenly interested in this summer's "Star Trek" film. You may find yourself answering a quick question from TiVo's "BaDoop BaDoop Show." You may find yourself too tired to fight the lines to "Star Trek."

You may find yourself back outside waiting in line to enter the Esplanade Ballroom. You find yourself thinking the line is worse than Disneyland. You may find yourself relieved to finally enter the room. You may find yourself listening to Elijah Wood answering yet another question related to the "Lord of the Rings." You may find yourself thinking his new animated film "9" reminds you of a little big PS3 game.

The team behind Pixar's "Up" praise their film. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.* Click here for the "Up" preview synopsis.

The "Terminator Salvation" panelists praise their film. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.* Click here for the "Terminator Salvation" panel synopsis.

Letting some frustration out with old-fashioned violence. Letting the sharp dressed suits get some shots of themselves. Meeting some good old friends, if only in passing. This sort of stuff does not happen once in a lifetime.

You may find yourself hungry after 10 hours without food. You may find yourself dining with a pair of cute twins who cannot be any more asymmetrical. you may find yourself introduced to their friends Dennis and Rose. You may find yourself thinking the guy who approves the food at Jollibee is in dire need of functioning taste buds. You may find yourself satisfied that at least the Jollibee food provides the calories to keep you going. You may find yourself reviewing your EMT training and experience in field diagnosis. You may ask yourself, "Am I finally done writing this convention report section in bizarre new wave prose?"

*Who takes a break from their busy schedule to come to a con and say their upcoming project is crap? Of course they're going to praise their work!
