Nighttime at Comic-Con is a study in randomness. The parties all boast red carpets, step and repeats, and long lines, but what you find inside isn’t usually standard fare.
On one end of the Gaslamp District, Elijah Wood was disc jockey on a diverse set of house music and ’80s fare for the crowd at Mashable’s MashBash party. Instead of tiny passed hors d’oeuvres, servers walked around with full pizza boxes as guests danced, ate, chatted and applied temporary tattoos.
A few blocks away, “Arrow” star Stephen Amell braved the crowds and scantily clad women at the boisterous Playboy party. Clips from the film “Self/less” played on the screens, while women in skintight dresses danced to the pulsating music amid the flashing blue and purple lights.
