Hollywood seeks geeks at Comic-Con Hollywood seeks geeks
San Diego convention is one big fest of fun and marketing.

SAN DIEGO | - Rebecca Wagner decided to fly out from Kansas to attend the country’s largest pop-culture gathering this weekend when she learned that Dana Snyder would be there, too.
For those readers who do not follow the “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” cartoon series on TV as closely as Wagner does — which would be almost all of you — Dana Snyder is the voice of Master Shake, a hipper-than-thou talking beverage on the show. When Wagner isn’t developing Web sites at her KU job, she maintains a fan site for Snyder.

The Sci-Fi Channel’s “booth” is an enormous piece of bluish molded plastic that looks like a broken-off piece of a spaceship. “It’s whatever your imagination wants it to be,” a Sci-Fi worker says. For most Comic-Con-goers, it served as a park bench to rest and watch a “Eureka” promo or pick up a “Stargate” button before roaming the aisles again.
Among the shows Sci-Fi was promoting this week is “Battlestar Galactica,” one of the best early examples of how buzzmaking at Comic-Con helped bring about surprising results.
