UGO's Jordan Hoffman, who is tweeting his incredible coverage (@jhoffman6), led a panel on Friday for the upcoming 9.

While his coverage, among everyone else's, has been just as incredible. He also was a host. Here's his report from behind the looking glass:

Smack in the middle of my San Diego Comic-Con coverage - which involved live tweets from the cold concrete floor near the Men's Room of Hall H, the only place with secure WiFi - I had the honor and privilege to moderate the panel for Shane Acker's animated feature film 9. I'd've jumped at any opportunity to make a fool of myself in front of 6500 people, but was even happier to do it for a film I genuinely adore.

About ninety minutes before the panel, I was escorted into the super-exclusive Green Room above and behind Hall H. The change of SDCC's vibe was instantaneous. Down on the floor everyone is sweaty and looking a little dazed. Up here, amidst A-List stars and their handlers, everyone is beautiful. I soon realize I am the only one wearing shorts. Denzel isn't wearing shorts. Paul Bettany isn't wearing shorts. The guy putting out blondies on a tray isn't wearing shorts. (I also soon realize I am the only one eating the blondies.)
