The UK at San Diego Comic Con: What we’re looking forward to

In July, Southern California welcomes one of the most anticipated global entertainment and pop culture events for five straight days. Preview Night sets the stage on July 24th, and the anticipation is palpable as San Diego Comic Con approaches. Cosplayers are fine-tuning their costumes, vendors are readying themselves for crowds, and hotels are filling up with guests and attendees. The excitement begins on Wednesday when Mayor Todd Gloria, City Councilman Stephen Whitburn, Convention Center President and CEO Rip Rippetoe, San Diego Tourism Authority President and CEO Julie Coker, and Comic-Con’s Fae Desmond and David Glazer offer the formal welcome. Even the “first dog” of San Diego joins in, donning a costume for the occasion.
