Before you even cross the trolley tracks to harbor blvd.
Once upon a time you had to go into the exhibit hall and find the booth for the show/comic you were interested in, then look around for any promotional give aways... now, on 5th street, before you even cross the trolley tracks you can get a bag from History Channel promoting "jurasic fight", can get a pin, and a card for free downloads of two episodes at itunes from Dexter / Californication, be handed tickets to a showing of a movie on the jumbotron at Petco Park (that may have been yesterday only, as I didn't bump into that guy on my way to the convention center today) and today in the drop off area of the trolley was the KITT car reveal for the new Knight Rider Series!
And all that, without having made it across the trolley tracks, much less the train tracks or harbor blvd and into the convention center, where more goodness, both for free, and for sale, awaits.
In the for sale category, Joss Whedon fans should be sure to hit the SoCalBrowncoats booth (as should Neil Patrick Harris fans and Nathan Fillion fans) as they have the OFFICIAL Dr. Horrible and The Sing-Along Blog shirts... and this is a case where official isn't just a cool thing to get, but the way to go, as Dr. Horrible was released via the web, and itunes sales, and shirt sales are part of the master plan to bring in enough money the cast and crew can be paid for the work they've done. (And as an added bonus it is actually cheaper to get your shirt at con, since you don't have to pay for shipping, than from the online distributor, Jinx)
