WIRED hosted its 7th Annual WIRED Café at Comic-Con from July 24-26th, 11am – 5pm daily at the Omni Hotel terrace, just steps from the convention center. The invite-only oasis was the preferred hot spot where VIPs, press and top talent went to relax and escape the Comic-Con rush.
The day party kept the “Game of Thrones” beer flowing. By the second day, “Game of Thrones” star Isaac Hempstead-Wright proclaimed his love for the party and all that is Comic-Con. “I love it here,” Wright said on Friday. “I want to live here.” Also doing selfies with guests and VIPs was Pedro Pascal (Prince Oberyn).
Other celebs who hung out at the party included Nathan Fillion (“Castle,” “Firefly”), Sir Benjamin Kingsley (“Ender’s Game), Lucas Till (“X-Men: First Class”), Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (“Mortal Kombat”) and “Sharknado” director Anthony C. Ferrante. Cocktails, Wi-Fi, interviews, business transactions, and cool gadgets were on the menu this year. HBO, American Airlines, and Ben & Jerry’s sponsored the café, which featured Ben & Jerry’s ice cream for GOT beer floats, a DJ and interesting interactive booths and artists.
