The annual Comic-Con International: San Diego is this week, July 24-27, 2008, at the San Diego Convention Center. This is widely viewed as “the” pop culture (comics, film, television, etc.) event of the year. However, with compounded growth year after year, there will be no admission tickets sold on site, and all advance tickets have been sold out.
Full details can be found at comic-con.org:
In addition to all of the film and television-related programming, I know that The Prop Store of London and Profiles in History will have booths in the convention center, and there are typically original props or costumes on display to promote current movies and TV shows. There are a number of items of interest in the programming schedule, including discussions and presentations from principals involved with notable productions.
