The booths get larger and more elaborate as the convention grows. Huge booths for Sci Fi Channel, an entire pavilion for “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” including costumes, and a small table at the Nickelodeon booth with a sign on it reading “Development Meetings.”

Comic-Con has come a long way. Tomorrow's going to be busy ...
