Good Lord, was that a painful experience! The ticket site was completely flooded beyond capacity, and when I finally did get through, I had to refresh each subsequent page of the purchasing process about a hundred times. But... got 'em. See you folks in Cali in a few months.

Yep. Took three hours, but I have my four-day badge. Can I shower and breakfast now?

I'm glad I got to attend last year as this year looked like a real hassle to get tickets. Hopefully this leads to a better system down the road (mostly as I plan to go back in a few years )

Based on the information posted by the ticketing website, they know what the problem was, but were unable to resolve it in real time on Saturday. I do hope that Comicon sticks with them for at least one more year. It looks like they were able to learn a lot from the experience and should be able to do better next year.

I'm gonna go with my dad and brother, again.
Listen, I suggest stopping by Billy Tucci's table if you want to get a sketch. His rates are very reasonable and he's a nice guy.

For any of you going to the comic book marketplace tomorrow, I'll be wearing my name on my shirt.

So I didn't meet anyone from here at the Marketplace yesterday, but I still had fun, and I didn't spend as much money as I expected.
The next con in my possible future is Boston Comic Con.

Shouldn't these be in Bits? Or Visionaries?
This thread is about organizing meet-ups.

Damn. I should've clarified. When I said I'd be wearing my name on my shirt, that meant that I was ready to meet you guys. The shirt said "Sarcasm: One of many features", and Sarcasm was in big words.
I'm sorry Rhino, it was my fault.

Anyone going to Wizard World Toronto? http://www.wizardworld.com/toronto.html I'm not sure I'm up for a con at the moment, but I'd love to meet up with some LWers for dinner or something afterward.

No, sorry. Although I'd jump at any chance to get to a con with Francis Manapul.

San Diego definitely won't be happening, but I'm mulling C2E2. I happen to have that week off anyway and may drive over if I get other stuff on my to-do list taken care of.
Anyone going and want to split a hotel room?
