Clash of the Wannabe Titans by Janet L. Hetherington

This week we follow special PCA correspondent Janet Hetherington from the front lines of the San Diego Comic Con!

For many Comic-Con fans, attending the big show means camping out all day in Hall H or Ballroom 20 at the San Diego Convention Center to see Hollywood stars. We sometimes forget that San Diego is a beautiful city and human beings need fresh air!

Wannabe Titans duke it out at Hilton Bayside Hotel's "Clash of the Titans" themed events, next door to the San Diego Convention Center

Over at the Hilton Bayside Hotel beside the Convention Center, the release of the Clash of the Titans DVD (the 2010 remake of the 1981 classic) on July 27 is being promoted by fun outdoors activities.

As pop culture addicts know, the Clash of the Titans is an adaption of the myth of Perseus and his quest to battle both Medusa and the Kraken monster.

Fans can get “stone” make-up on their face or hands in the Medusa tent, battle to be a champion in the challenge ring and tackle a castle-like rock-climbing wall.

Wannabe titans get freebies like a snaky Medusa paper crown and more.

Best of all, it’s free for attendees. Enjoy the sunshine. Get outside, people!

Where else but San Diego would you get a chance to storm a castle tower?
