Panels, Sneak Peeks, four-day PIRATE PARRRTY and “RICK AND MORTY: THE ANIME” ANIME-RICAN TOUR
Adult Swim is kicking off the summer at SDCC with a Pirate-themed fan “parrrty” that has evening events that will make you walk the plank! Adult Swim is bringing panels in and outside the convention hall and with the first stop for the Rick and Morty: The Anime mobile tour!
Find the Adult Swim on the Green space outside the San Diego Convention Center (5th Avenue Landing and Convention Way). They will have custom games, first looks at series, giveaways and a nighttime with DJ laser sets (no Badge Required). Get in line to be one of the first 1,000 attendees at the “Adult Swim Pirate Parrrty” at 1pm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will receive an exclusive giveaway! For more details on the “Adult Swim Pirate Parrrty” visit here.
I’m looking forward to getting a photo with the Rickmobile and Mortymobile and Adult Swim’s “Anime-rican” tour in support of the new series “Rick and Morty: The Anime” and I’m going to find the Rickmobile somewhere in San Diego’s Gaslamp District and nab one of the special giveaways. Look for the schedule to see if the Rickmobile and the Mortymobile are visiting your city before they head back to Adult Swim’s hometown of Atlanta.

“For reasons too long to get into, we at Adult Swim have always used a pirate ship (and, owls, but maybe we’ll do that at a later con) as a metaphor for how we operate. We thought, since we like to think of us, fans and network, as all one thing, that we should bring the pirate ship to the harbor of San Diego this year and let everyone join us on the – erm – poop deck.”
Michael Ouweleen, president, Adult Swim
