After waiting all day in lines, bumping elbows with fellow nerds, and walking around for a better part of the day, Comic-Con does not end when the sun sets. There are many fantastic parties where you may run into various celebrities, partake in food and drink, and obtain a lot of swag. Not only do these parties make the convention more enjoyable, but they make it unforgettable (depending on how much you drink). A number of these parties do require an RSVP or an invite, but there are a good amount that are still open to the public for free or at a minor cost. Check out the complete list of SDCC 2013 parties after the jump.

Attending Comic-Con parties is no easy task. Not only are a majority of them invite only, most overlap and you don’t want to party too hard with more Comic-Conning and partying taking place the following day. If you’d like to attend the parties, the best thing you can do is look out for social media contests. A lot of these parties are hosted by pop culture websites that host multiple chances to win passes via their site, Facebook, or Twitter. Once you are able to get into one of these illustrious parties, make sure you have the time of your life. It is a privilege that many of the 120,000+ attendees don’t get to experience. But please make sure you maintain your composure. Nobody likes a hot mess. Let’s party:
