Chuck @ Comic Con Report, The Kid Version

Note: Genevieve is Mel’s 11-year-old niece. She discovered Chuck at the end of season 2 and was hooked. An aspiring writer, Mel & Liz decided to bring her along to Comic Con this year to meet both the talent behind the show and other fans. This is her report on the panel and press room, edited only for punctuation.

When we woke up the morning of the Chuck panel my eyes felt like they were carrying 10 pounds. Sleep covered my eyes like chocolate syrup on vanilla ice cream and my eyes were probably as black as the night sky, but I hurriedly got dressed and I got my purse.

When we were ready to go we hopped in the car and drove off to Starbucks for some breakfast. I would recommend ordering the Classic Glazed Old Fashioned doughnut. At Starbucks make sure you have quarters because at one of them you have to pay 1 quarter to go to the restroom. What you do with the quarter is buy a bathroom token and you put the bathroom token in the slot. Then you should be able to open the door.

When we got to the convention center there was a line as expected, but not really a long one. We sat on the cement (which was cold, hard, and rocky) and ate our breakfast. After eating my breakfast I was tired of sitting on the cement, So I sat on my comic con bag, which was filled with a pillow and a blanket from the hotel. We weren’t sitting down for more than half an hour when the doors to the convention center opened; so began the long walk around the convention center. When we got inside (it was freezing in there) I lay down and got out my pillow and blanket. The backpacks and lunch bags were lay down sort of like the border of a bed. It was very comfortable, but I only got to sleep for half an hour (so my plan is to spend the night in line next year, because it is so comfortable).

When we got in the panel we got good seats, but we had to wait another hour, so we sat and talked. When it was 5 minutes before the Chuck panel I tried to start a chant, but I was the only one standing. Apparently I was the only true Chuck fan there!

All of a sudden, the lights turned off, and Zac and Josh were on the screen. They were talking about the Ring and how the only way for them to save us was for them to put in a movie, so they listed some other movies that the Chuck cast had been in and they said they didn’t want to watch any of those movies, so they put in a Jeffster music video for our own good. Everybody says that Jeffster isn’t good, but I think they’re great! Jeffster did “Bad Romance” from Lady GaGa.

After Jeffster all the cast came out and the writers came out, too! It was probably one of the most exciting moments of my life! I think Yvonne saw me and aimed T-shirts at me and that was super amazing! Good news, I don’t think Adam had a gun so everyone there was safe. Sarah and Yvonne look even prettier in real life than on T.V. (probably because cameras are not made to pick up that much beauty).

After the panel we went to the Chuck pressroom, we didn’t even have any time in between to rest. First we got the writers and then we got Ryan McPartlin and Sarah Lancaster. I asked Ryan if he wanted to be a spy on Chuck, and he said he did until he found out there were long hours.

It was so awesome! Next year I’m going to get a front seat for sure!
