Comic Con 2008 Pre-View Night

Today was the first day of Comic Con 2008. Folks with four day passes were able to pick up their badges starting at 3:00 pm this afternoon. The exhibit hall opened it's doors at 6:00 pm for Pre-View night.

I arrived at 9:00 am this morning to help put the finishing touches on the booth I will be working this year. When I arrived at the convention center I found that there was already a line of about 100 people waiting to pick up their badge for the weekend. I did not get outside to see what the line was like but I heard that it snaked around the outside of the convention center. The hall opened at 6:00 pm and by 7:00 pm the exhibit hall floor was packed with people.

Here are a few pictures I snapped as the exhibit hall was being set up today and a few after it opened before things got so busy I had to put the camera down.
