Nerd HQ brings Comic Con to the Non-Ticketed Public in SD

Don't have a pass to next week's Comic-Con but still want to be part of the action? Zachary Levi's got your back.

The "Chuck" star is throwing a four-day event during Comic-Con in the Gaslamp District of San Diego called Nerd HQ. It promises to be a more intimate experience than the massive Con, with a maximum of 250 attendees for the panels and a suggested donation of $20 to benefit Operation Smile. There will also be  video games, technology, and a film festival of one-minute shorts.

The "Conversations" include panels with the cast of "Firefly", Scott Bakula,  Zachary Quinto, and Zac Levi himself.
