Happy Friday the 13th! Comic-Con International has kicked into high gear in San Diego so here’s a one-stop post for what The Vampire Diaries is up to this year. Once again, Saturday (July 14th) is TVD Day in Ballroom 20. And in extra-special fun times news, turns out that Mr. Kevin Williamson himself will be moderating the TVD panel. (Are we allowed to say “thank goodness?” because thank goodness.) Oh, and The Hollywood Reporter had the exclusive first look at the special TVD Comic-Con poster (pictured).
But first: Friday (today!) Matt Davis is repping his new CW show Cult with a panel and pilot screening at 11:30am in Room 6BCF and a Warner Bros. booth signing from 1:15-2pm. (Warner Bros. is observing the Con’s ticket lottery system again this year, MORE DETAILS HERE.) Support your TVD alum!
Now for the main info…

Warner Bros. Booth #4545

Ballroom 20
Participants: Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Steven R. McQueen, Zach Roerig, Michael Trevino, Kevin Williamson, Julie Plec

And because Kevin Williamson obviously has a lot of free time on his hands, he will also be promoting his new FOX show The Following (watch the creepy trailer!) later on Saturday. Another TVD alum, Marcos Siega, directed the pilot and will join Mr. Williamson, along with stars Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy, for some panel and booth signing fun. They will be signing at the WB booth 12:00–12:45pm and the panel is at 4pm in Room 6BCF. Show Kevin and Marcos some TVD fan love.
If you’re in San Diego this weekend, HAVE FUN. Sadly, we were not able to make it down there this year, but we’ll be lurking on Twitter, RTing the good stuff, and throwing it all together on the blog this weekend.
