ooc: This post is open to everyone. It's complete bendy time too. Feel free to drop by, chat with one another and have fun!

The San Diego convention center was filled with all sorts of exhibits, panels and vendors selling all sorts of collectibles. There seemed to be so much to do and tons of events worth seeing.

"I'm finally here," Chuck commented out loud to no one in particular.

"Yeah, Hiro's right. We'll have to go to registration first. I did print out some of the schedules from the website though so we'd have something before we got here. But the one at the registration area will probably have some other things listed on it. Like whee certain vendors are."

Chuck pulled his printed copy of the schedule out of his back pocket. "Ooh. The day starts out with a panel called 'The Gene Roddenberry Legacy: Roddenberry in the 21st Century.' From the write up, it sounds like they're discussing projects in the works and in production. They probably can't go much into detail about the new movie but still...that might be a neat one to start with. What do you think?"

"We must go to that one. His son will be there." Hiro pulls out his rather mangled printout. He's got things circled, doubled circled, circled and underlined. He's got a printed schedule for the panels he wants to go to. If they leave him in charge of scheduling, he's going to be a martinet.

"Yeah, I read that too and that's pretty cool." Chuck glances at Hiro's print out. "What's the panel or event you wanna see the most?"

He then begins walking towards the registration area.

"This was the first one. I really wanted to see this panel."

The registration runs smoothly and they're soon loaded with their con bags, badges and freebies.

"Okie!" Chuck looks in his bag. "They have us some neat freebies. Looks like we got a couple of promo disks for stuff."

He then takes out his schedule again. "According to the schedule, we need to find Room 10 for the Roddenberry panel."

Jack wants to point out that it wasn't technically free, they had their entry fee, but he decides against it, not wanting to ruin the fun.

Amidst the excitement, he felt a bit like the odd man out, In a hushed voice he asks Chuck and Hiro "Please don't give me dirty looks but... Who is Gene Roddenberry?"

"Um, the guy who created Star Trek?" Chuck answers, a bit surprised Jack didn't know that.

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

Ok, that one should have been obvious. Jack cringes a little. "I've seen some Star Trek, yeah, but I didn't know. If you haven't noticed, I don't know nearly as much about all of this stuff as you and Hiro do. I'm happy to be here, but you might have to treat me like a beginner."

"Well...I mean...I kinda thought that was common knowledge. Like George Lucas creating Star Wars." Chuck then shrugs and smiles adding, "It's okay. We'll be happy to explain stuff if you have questions."

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

"Well, it might be common knowledge for some people. I think it all depends on who you ask." He follows Chuck as they walk. "For now I think I'll just watch and listen, I'm ok with being an observer."

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"I guess so," Chuck replies as he nods. "An observer, huh? Sure there isn't something that maybe you wanna see in particular?" Chuck then hands a copy of the schedule for Jack to look over.

ooc: Actual schedule here if you want ideas. (http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_prog.shtml)

Jack looks over the program. "Well, I'd kinda like to visit the Superman - Man of Tomorrow panel. It looks like it's gonna be some of the writers and artists talking about in what direction they're going to be taking Superman in the future. It looks pretty interesting, but it doesn't start until later." He'd be happy going to anything related to Superman really.

OOC: Thanks!

"That sounds like a good one. We'll see that one too!" Chuck replies, smiling.

Hiro immediately snaps out the map of the convention space. "This way," he says just as he charges off in that direction.

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

Not wanting to be left behind, Jack quickly changes direction to follow Hiro. He obviously knows where he's going and has a plan of action.

Hiro is startled by the young man Chuck is speaking to..
