Thanks to the search feature, we can easily find which panels Joe will
be on this weekend at CCI:


So who else from the newsgroup will be there? I'll be there for the whole
con.

Gee, you ARE a glutton for punishment, aren't you?

(grinning ruefully, since I've heard that comic cons are usually WAY
overcrowded - which means I'm about as close as I want to get to
one...)

Ah, but there's a method to my madness (aside from making the most of flying
across the entire country, of course). See, I'll be able to pick up my badge

on
Wednesday and visit the dealer's room on Wednesday evening to pick up
whatever
shopping list I'll have for friends. I can get the lay of the land then,
too.
I've got a list of the things I want to check out each day, even when they
conflict with other things, just in case I can't get into a particular room.
Thursday will probably still be reasonably uncrowded so I can probably pick
up
most of the autographs I'll also be getting for friends. Friday is nicely
filled with panels I want to go to. Saturday I'll avoid the dealer's room
like
the plague, staying comfortably parked in panel rooms. And Sunday I may or
may
not take off to do something non-con related.

Anyway, after DragonCon in Atlanta, I'm not sure that anything in a real
convention center could be truly overcrowded. The first DragonCon I
attended,
at one point it took me 45 minutes to get across one of the hotel lobbies.
Blech! <<

Yes, as big as SDCC is, they at least seem to have some professional sense of
organization, while DragonCon notoriously oversells and is clearly too large
for the dual-hotel setup they have now. I'm sure being in a convention
center will make it much more bearable than DragonCon generally is. Have fun
Jan, and report back, please!
