Offsite - no badges are required Looking for the purr-fect way to spend some time at San Diego Comic-Con? Adult Swim is back with claws out and cutlasses drawn, welcoming fans to the “Pirate Purrrty on the Green”, an unhinged outdoor activation anchored just outside the convention center (5th Avenue Landing and Convention Way. This year’s activation transforms last year’s pirate ship into a full-blown feline fantasy, mashing together pirate antics with all the cattitude you’d expect from Adult Swim. Attendees can swing by Thursday, July 24 – Saturday, July 26 from 1p.m. - 7 p.m. daily for a paw-sitively wild time (entry is first come/first serve, and no badges are required). There’s plenty of fur-midable fun to sink your claws into, like bouncing through Rick and Morty’s Buttworld Bounce House, pawing through plushies on the Common Side Effects Mushroom Hunt (and claim an exclusive plushie as your prize!), snapping a selfie in the Smiling Friends Break Room (with exclusive merch), and bring home a (plush) pet from the Adopt-a-Cuy Station, inspired by Women Wearing Shoulder Pads. DIRECTV will also be providing a DIRECTV Face Painting Zone, where you can choose from custom designs inspired by Rick and Morty, SMILING FRIENDS, and more — plus you’ll get a framed photo souvenir. If you’re an early bird (or early cat), the first 750 fans each day get an exclusive Smiling Friends vinyl figure. They’ll also be providing raffle giveaways during Saturday’s “Adult Swim Night of New”. And just what is that, you may be asking?
