whaddya mean [San Diego Comic-Con] is next week!?

fightinfilipino

so there's this thing going on next week in San Diego, California



it's a small gathering. no big whoop. Mike and Jerry have been known to have a little booth in one of the far corners of the place, right behind that creepy shop that sells anime body pillows.

which of you folks are randomly showing up in town?

fightinfilipino

also, the Legend of Korra panel is on Friday, July 19 at 11:15am. i am definitely making that panel, lines be damned.

Bogey

I miss you guys, but don't think I'm making it down this year (couldn't get tickets.)

@Fiz, you gotta go to the Game of Thrones panel for me!

algeya

i really want to get in to that panel too, but i'm not willing to camp out the night before just to get in

Bogey

You'd probably have to camp out 3 days or so. Crazy fans just like the Twilights used to draw...

algeya

remember that last year one girl was killed when she was camping two days before the event
(traffic accident) so plz be careful if you want to see the games of thrones panel

fightinfilipino

@Bogey i wish i had more spare time to be able to get up to LA and hang out with you. too busy these days to be able to get away

yeah i do not trust San Diego drivers normally.

what panels are you gonna try for, algeya?

algeya

Mostly going for portafolio Reviews, I will avoid ballroom panels and go to small panels like indie comics marketing, shonen jump podcast and some dc / marvel panels (since they are always empty chairs in those comics panels)

YaYa

I will be in Australia

however I will be attending PAX Aus while in Australia, so that works!

LuvTheMonkey

My brother and his wife are attending

I did not get tickets as SDCC's web site is a pile of shit

Maybe next year!

fightinfilipino

it just occurred to me that Mike and Jerry won't be in SD this year because of AusPAX. doh!

@Robert Khoo, will you guys still have a booth at SDCC this year?

Khoo's in Melbourne too so I doubt it

Bendery It Like Beckham

We could still use it as an excuse for a former meet up

futility

I'm not going to be there this year =( first time in... many years

MetroidZoid

If I ever went to SDCC, I'd have to bring a small fortune for all the exclusive Transformers and other toys I'd want to buy.

Barcardi

it was impossible to get tickets this year

so instead i am doing a brewery tour, horray for next weekend!

There will, in fact, be a Penny Arcade booth this year. You might even see me working there at times, unless I'm at a panel or just not wanting to help.

@bogey - It's not like you can just cut in line to the GoT panel. What kind of monsters would do that >_>

Bogey

Monsters that deserved the giftbag for also having to sit through half of that Ringer panel! :P

Agh, I can't believe I won't be there this year! For all of you going, please please do me a favor and harass DrZiplock at the ThinkGeek booth.

JMan711

I've got a ticket, but I don't know if I can go. I could go down early on Saturday for the day, but I'm not sure if it will be worth the drive.

Grifter taught me years ago about going to the main DC panels. Crazy shit always happens, plus they pass out cookies!

You'll find out the answer to that when you watch season 2 of Strip Search.

Bogey

Kochikens
