We made it to the main event. Saturday, SDCC.
We didn't have wristbands for this one, but decided to take a chance and try to get in anyway. The goal was just a couple photos in the press pit. We got so much more than that, RDJ walked right past me, and I'm still processing it.
This video covers that whole moment, walking into the press pit, some thoughts on how SDCC has gone so far, the cast walking out, and getting photos I genuinely didn't expect to get. The last part is me breaking down what the press pit experience was actually like, a quick overview of the con overall, and a preview of an upcoming video on gear I'd recommend bringing to a con like this.
One more video left in this series, Sunday's final day recap is coming soon.
Let me know in the comments what you want covered in the gear video.
