Is Nerd HQ actually happening this year? Their funding campaign didn't go very far and I haven't seen/heard anything from them or from friends at all.

They will be. Zach usually holds announcements until the official SDCC schedule is released so they can confirm times with panels and whatnot. Expect something Monday or Tuesday, most likely.

There was speculation Disney or Lionsgate would take the last spot in Hall H on Sunday. If you haven't looked, the offsite post on page 1 is getting very fat with stuff to do.

http://comic-con.org/toucan/22sdcc-2014-introducing-toucan-tracker-wristbands-hall-h%E2%80%99s-first-panel-of-day The each day's first panel in Hall H will require a wristband to get in. Wristband distribution ends at 1AM and resumes at 5AM until all wristbands are gone.

I'm interested in the panel for The Strain, but it's on Hall H and Sunday is the only day I'll be at the convention. I'm guessing the lines are shorter on Sunday, but how early should I expect to get in line to get in? The panel itself is two hours, and since it's my only day I'm wondering if it'll take too much time away from walking the convention floor to be worth it.

There's no Doctor Who this year and the Supernatural fans might leave after The Following. I'd walk over around 12:30/1PM and see if there's a line. If there's a line, keep walking and check out the stuff at Petco Park.

I'm pretty conflicted since I want to see the Thrones and Fox panels, but everything else will be a chore to sit through on top of waiting for hours in line. My friend was planning on camping out anyway so I could have just joined him, but now that wouldn't do me any good since I wouldn't have a wrist band.

If I'm reading the rules right, you can get in line before 1am to get a wristband. Then come back later.

Dr Tran posted:If I'm reading the rules right, you can get in line before 1am to get a wristband. Then come back later. Here's how I'm reading it from the FAQ they have. Let's say you have a party of 3 people. You show up and get in line at midnight. You all get wrist bands at 1 AM. At this point, two of you go to the hotel and rest and the other person stays in line. At 9 AM, the two people return and get in line with the third and you all enter happy happy. Let's take the same example and change it a little. You all get wrist bands at 1 AM but instead of one of you staying behind, all of you go back to the hotel. Then you return at 9 AM and ..... now you go to the back of the line is how I understand it. Without an anchor person from your party, always holding the line, you're going to go to the back of the line, like every year. The big difference is now you need your whole party there at once either at 1 AM or 5 AM or your chances of getting in together are greatly diminished.

Man, this Nerd HQ is going to be nuts. Jeff Bridges? Goddamn, dudes! Never done any of the Conversations, but I'll definitely be looking at that full list this week. As for the wristbands, it doesn't sound too crazy. It just cuts down on one person willing to wake up at 2AM to hold the line for 5 others not willing to wait it out, too. Beyond that, it sounds like it's essentially the same thing as the red placeholder cards you get at Disneyland to help staff update the Wait Time list.

My main issue is that my parking at the Hilton isn't overnight parking. I have to be out of the parking lot by 2am. Hopefully I can be there at 1am and get a wrist band. My friends camp out while I take my car home to not get towed, take a shower, rest for a couple hours and come back. This is under the assumption that passing out those wrist bands isn't terribly inefficient of course.

This is a bit last minute but does anyone have a spare 4 day badge to sell? I lucked out with free transportation and accommodations to SD for the weekend. I figured it'd be worth a shot to ask around.

I figured it'd be worth a shot to ask around. Badges do not work that way. They have to be picked up there, have the attendee's name written on them, and require photo ID to be picked up. That said, do check out the third post in the thread, because there's going to be a ton going on outside the convention center proper that won't require any badge.

Despite the lack of Who this year, Craig Ferguson will be showing up anyway. He will be moderating the Big Bang Theory and Game of Thrones panels.

I figured it'd be worth a shot to ask around. Last year, I went with two friends who didn't have badges, and they both ended up with badges that people gave them for the rest of the weekend. I even let an "Internet friend" borrow my badge for a day that I wandered around elsewhere. It depends on how good you are at networking/who you know - I would personally go out there anyway for free and play everything by ear.

I think he means that they found people that gave his friends their badges (possibly extras) so they could go in and out of the con. This has been posted before but check out http://www.outsidecomiccon.com/all-events-2014/ Lots of stuff going on even if you don't have a badge to get into the actual convention.

1. The Assassin's Creed Experience will be a parkour obstacle course. Find it at the lawn next to the Hilton Gaslamp. 2. Cartoon Network is holding the Third Annual Adventure Time ConQuest scavenger hunt at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Lumpy Space Princess is looking for a date to Comic-Con 2014 and it is up to the attendees to keep it from being a disaster. Learn how you can participate and earn cool incentives after the jump. Like years past, Cartoon Network is asking for fans to participate in their annual ConQuest. What does that mean? Comic-Con attendees will scour the convention room floor to visit 11 participating partner booths and locations. Fans can start at the Cartoon Network booth (#3735) and look for signage to begin. Along the way, fans will receive incentives, premiums, and rebates for Adventure Time products featured at the convention. There will be secrete text-messaged clues given to participants, which will help guide attendees on their journey to find a suitable bachelor for Lumpy Space Princess to take to the Princess Day Ball. Adventure Timers who have completed the ConQuest in the past will will be encouraged to bring their Jake and Ice King medallions from 2012 and 2013 to The New Children’s Museum redemption center to earn a “triple threat reward.” Here are the list of booths and areas fans must visit in order to complete their journey:

I can hardly wait to witness people totally unfit for anything remotely parkour to attempt the parkour thing. I've never got to splint a real broken bone before. Maybe this will be my chance.

The new official sdcc app is available. It includes an interactive map as well as adding notes to all kinds of poo poo. Plus you can favourite just about everything to have all that stuff in one handy spot and never having to pull out the stupid book (unless you're low on battery).

I bought one at an office max store closing sale this spring and took is to a con earlier this year. It was amazing and worth every penny. Indigo was a dead zone for me last year so it drained the poo poo out of my battery fast. Not just that but social media updating will do it too. If you have the money, get one. It's almost as important as deodorant* *Nothing is as important as deodorant and other hygiene products at a con. EVER. There is no choice when a hygiene product is involved.
