Under the Tents: Outlander, Patrick Ballesteros, Riverdale, Sharknado

Now that we know Wednesday’s, Thursday’s, Friday’s, and Saturday’s SDCC schedules, let’s look at what else was going on while we were busy planning our SDCC strategies. We have lots of juicy news from Once Upon a Time, Patrick Ballesteros, The Geeky Hooker, and a whole lot more.

Here’s a look at what you might have missed:

  • Now that the official schedule is rolling out, we’re seeing moderators take to Twitter to solicit fan questions. Leanne Aguilera wants to know what you want to know from the Riverdale cast. Jenna Dewan Tatum told fans on Twitter they were welcome to suggest questions for the Outlander panel. Also, Emily Longeretta tweeted at Sharknado fans to send her questions for the Sharknado panel. Our only question for that one would be: How on earth did you make five movies about sharks in tornadoes?

  • William Shatner is well-known for instigating Twitter battles between himself and some of his fellow actors. One of his frequent Twitter rivals is Sam Heughan, aka Jamie Fraser in Outlander. Shatner threw a little taunt at Heughan and the rest of the panelists, telling them they need to buy coffee for everyone who slept overnight in Hall H line waiting to see them. However, an alert Twitter fan pointed out to Captain Kirk that the Outlander panel is set to take place in Ballroom 20, not Hall H. We hope they don’t caffeinate the wrong line!

  • SDCC 2017 is swimming in crochet. Shozumi showed off yet another critter, a Totoro, she’s dropping around the con. Think you’ll find it before we do?

  • Artist Camilla d’Errico has been traveling a lot lately, and it looks like jet lag may be setting in. She posted on Instagram that she painted the wrong subject for another show, so instead, we get to enjoy her Dorian Gray piece. Look for it at her Booth #4723.

  • When you wander the Exhibit Hall floor, you need to stop by Small Press Table #O-08 and visit CLAUS Studios. Justin Harder’s hard work and exclusives he’s offering will definitely make it worth your while.

  • Digital Pimp took the term “trash panda” literally with their SDCC exclusive t-shirt, but he may have to beat Patrick Rothfuss in an alley to be the true Garbage King. Find this and a lot more at Booth #1237.
