Baltimore Comic Con pt 2

After the events leading up to getting on the train, the ride in to Baltimore was fairly uneventful.




I still get a little upset everytime I drive or go up in to Baltimore, because one of my favorite hangouts, Hammerjacks, got destroyed to make way for the Raven's stadium. That's neither here nor there, just something I thought about on the way in to Baltimore.




As we pulled up to the station before the Convention Center stop, I looked out the window and saw the Convention Center. I decided "Hey it's right there, let's get out and we'll just walk over from here."




Before this descision I didn't know that the Baltimore Convention Center takes up and entire city block. Now I know this quite well. The stop we used was the exact opposite side of the Center from where the Convention was being held.





After walking around some buildings and through some others we finally arrived at the ticket counter area (I failed to remember I hadn't bought tickets until the night before, and TicketMaster turns off their Will Call service the night before and event like this...mental note for next time). The line didn't seem too long so Emma and I started toward what we thought was the end. Then we realized it went out the door. Going outside we realized it went around the corner and then we realized it went about halfway down the building.


As bad as things seemed standing in this line, it only took us about 40 minutes to get in the convention, so I guess it didn't turn out too bad having to wait a little while. I also learned another lesson. Much like buying comics, if you're going to a convention....pre-order, pre-order, pre-order.
