Alright folks, the madness that is New York Comic Con is fast approaching! The Star Wars: The Old Republic official Meet & Greet is but a half hour away and NYCC opens its doors tomorrow morning.
TORWars own intrepid reporters, Jeff and Deirdre Hollis, have just hit New York City and sent in the photos below of the arduous journey. Be sure and read on beyond the travel shots as well for David Bass of BioWare’s first Tweet pix of the SWTOR Comic Con set up. Excitement is in the air and the free drinks are soon to flow! Soak ‘em up.
TORWars Takes Manhattan
Jeff and Deirdre are extremely pleased to be driving into NY traffic!
Looky there, football fans - it's Giant's Stadium
The famed New York skyline...so close.
This way to the Lincoln Tunnel
Maybe we'll just ditch the car and take a ferry. Might be quicker.
Somewhere over there free drinks await. Keep driving. Keep driving.
Entering the Lincoln Tunnel. This should be fine. As long as it isn't dark and full of zombies.
OK, whew. No zombies. Just bus fumes and awful drivers.
Back in the NY groove - it's my kind o' town!
We have arrived! Let the....waiting on line begin.
Here's the Meet and Greet. Pretty swanky. I hope they let us in. We know Stephen Reid! Really!
Plenty of SWTOR fans out in 'Force' two hours before the Meet and Greet. Dedication!
We made it. We are in the queue. We are slightly excited.
BioWare’s David Bass Tweets SWTOR Booth Set-Up Pix
Bass says “New York labor unions are so strict I can’t unpack anything on our booth. Just sitting back and watching. I feel so useless.”
Peek of the Con exterior
Bass: 'Our booth is almost done!'
Bass: 'Okay, now we're getting somewhere.'

ONLY 1 AND A HALF DAYS ‘TILL I PLAY SWTOR FOR THE FIRST TIME! And my first time at ComicCon. Well my first time at any comic convention…YAY! :p
You guys had to drive through Jersey…you have my condolences!
Grats Mark, enjoy, and make sure to give us the juicy details. I assume gameplay at conventions is not bound by beta NDA?
