Celebrating its 11th year, Wired Café at Comic-Con 2018 joined forces with GQ and Pitchfork to host the exclusive rooftop oasis located on top of the Omni San Diego Hotel. The WIRED staff hosted the WIRED Café at Comic-Con Facebook Live Show, which you can watch at ?Facebook.com/WIRED.
Day 1 at the WIRED Café included casts of Mr. Mercedes, Star vs. The Forces of Evil, Sacred Lies, and John Huertas (This Is Us). The Mr. Mercedes cast took time to check out the Mr. Mercedes activation as a group. Breeda Wool proved that she’s the ultimate cool girl by admitting that the airline lost her luggage so she showed up in the same outfit she wore on the plane and still looked incredible. Jon Huertas caught a late lunch with friends at the WIRED Café. Adam McArthur, who is trained in martial arts, busted out a backflip during the Star vs. The Forces of Evil cast’s Facebook Live segment.
Day 2 at the WIRED Café included celebrity guests Joe Manganiello, Sam Esmail (director of Homecoming and creator of Mr. Robot), and casts of Better Call Saul and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Joe Manganiello went live on Facebook Live and Twitch at the WIRED Café to launch his new streetwear clothing line Death Saves.
Kat Graham looked stylish as ever in a white ruffled Redemption blouse, Tod’s leather pants, and Altuzarra belt and architectural Minna Parikka pumps. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Erik Bauza fanboyed over Tick creator Ben Edlund as he sketched the Tick on the WIRED Café wall. The cast of Better Call Saul hung out and grabbed some afternoon snacks and laughs.
Day 3 at the WIRED Café included casts of Riverdale, Cut Throat City and its director RZA, Super Troopers 2, and Darkest Minds. Riverdale’s Lili Reinhart, Cole Sprouse, Madelaine Petsch, Casey Cott and Vanessa Morgan did a one-minute group hug and a series of trust falls. Riverdale’s favorite dad Skeet Ulrich was spotted with his real-life kids and personal fan club twins Naiia and Jakob at the WIRED Café.
Cut Throat City’s director RZA got pumped up for his debut at Hall H by slap boxing with actor Shameik Moore at the WIRED Café. Super Troopers 2 Steve Lemme showed off his breakdancing skills.
