The 7 Most Out-Of-This-World Things About Comic-Con

Since the purchasing of tickets for this year's Comic-Con International has just closed, I thought it would be a great thing to tell you about some of the best things that can be found at Comic-Con. This is going to be my fifth year going to Comic-Con and I have to say, it continues to impress me every time. There are so many amazing things about Comic-Con, but here are some of the best things that I have experienced over the years.

1. Seeing the Floor

The floor is one of the most interesting things about Comic-Con. Every year the floor is a little different, but you will always have the big booths. From Marvel, DC and LEGO to Warner Brothers, ABC, and WETA, these guys have some of the biggest and best booths on the floor.

2. Meeting famous people

The amount of stars that are present during the few days of Comic-Con is astounding. There are so many panels, signings, and events that these stars are all over the place. They even just choose to go and walk around the floor or the other outside events. I've met a handful of people throughout the years, but some memorable ones include Misha Collins and Mark Sheppard from "Supernatural."

3. WB Signings

These signings are awesome, but also a pain. When you go to get a Warner Brothers signing, it can be a really hard process. This is where a ton of the big signings happen, but this also makes it harder. I have had to be there around 3 a.m. or a tiny bit later in order to get in line. These signings are also drawing based. So you could wait for a really long time and then not even get anything. These could be so much fun and super cool if you have the chance to attend.

4. Cosplayers

There are so many cosplayers that appear during the days of Comic-Con. From super elaborate crazy cosplays to more laid back cosplays, the work that goes into them is amazing. You can't not be astounded by the amount of work that goes into all of these.

5. Free Stuff

Okay, you can not go wrong with free stuff. Half of the things that I have from my times at Comic-Con have been free. There are so many booths that give out free things during the weekend. One of the best freebies is the FOX Poster Tubes. These come from the FOX booth and are so helpful for all of the free posters you get. They have so many of them that they constantly give them out. Every year I end with at least four of these poster tubes.

6. Con Bags

This is one of the best things. Every year Comic-Con International creates different bags for you to get every year. These are included in your purchase of a ticket, but you never know which one you will get. There are even people who try to switch with you or will buy the bag they want from someone else.

7. Panels

This is where you are going to be able to see most of the stars you want to see, as well as exclusive clips for upcoming seasons and movies. I have seen so many people, from Channing Tatum to Evan Peters. These are some of the coolest things to go to, especially if you want to have a break and sit down. Perfect opportunity.

Enjoy the con!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
