Wow, the programming schedule pages load slow as poo poo, and sometimes incomplete. The MySched stuff is broken. Worked fine in years past. This is sad. Foppish Yet Dashing fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Jun 26, 2015 |

Friday in Hall H is going to be an epic clusterfuck. Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and Star Wars?

It won't bother me as I have my sights set on Ash vs. Evil Dead, but my buddy is a Star Wars nut and has his heart set on that, so I'm guessing he should just camp out overnight.

There's no Thursday line early enough for Hall H Friday. I think there will be more people waiting outside Hall H on Thursday than there will be actual people in Hall H. No matter how lackluster Thursday's programming is, I don't want my first day of Con to be 24 hours spent on a lawn. Even for Force Awakens.

Yeah, it will be full for Doc Who and Hunger Games, but I think the turnout for the 6pm world premiere of Scooby-Doo! and KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery! is mostly going to be Hall H campers enjoying the AC while their friends hold their spots.

I think the only thing that could make that remotely manageable is if Ballroom 20 announced Peter Jackson presents The Silmarillion, Frozen 2, Half Life 3: The Movie, Marvel Vs DC: This Time Spiderman is Here, Firefly season 2: Only On Netflix, and The Matrix 4: Closure At LastHijinks Ensue posted:Heh, I'll (I hope) be in Hall H Thursday for Doctor Who and Con Man. lol just lol if you aren't in line like right this instant Alan Smithee fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Jun 26, 2015 |

I wonder if anyone would trade passes from Hall H to Ballroom 20 for the last bit... I'm a rabid fan of Orphan Black and iZombie, but I've never actually seen a Star Wars film.

Pretty sure there will be at least a couple of people who get into Hall H on Thursday night, and then try to hide behind one of the curtains or inside the bathroom stall overnight.

So can anyone explain the wristband stuff to me? I'm old to this new game; before, we just had bathroom tickets that let us leave for a panel and come back before the next one.

Lines start up the day before. Basically around 1 AMish (may be even like 9PM for first go around), they start handing out wristbands. They have enough for I think 75% of the full hall. From there they're quartered into sections and the first 25% get one color, the next 25% get another and so on. If you have a wristband, you are ensured access to Hall H for ONLY the first panel. Once you leave Hall H, your wristband means fuckall. The other aspect, you MUST be with your party when they hand out wristbands. No wristband, no entry (with your group). However, once you have a wristband, you can leave someone behind while everyone goes back to their hotel or whatever, just everyone in your party has to be with the party before they open Hall H (10 AM). Obviously you can still camp out but this whole thing allows for shift sleeping on real beds with people being able to take showers. It also limits the ability for someone to just line up on say Thursday (for Friday) and he's the only one you see all loving night and then at 9:30 50 people come in and they all say they're with that person. If they have bands, ok, whatever but if not, they're hosed.

They're that paper with sticky poo poo "able to drink adult beverages at the fair" kind of wristbands. I believe they put it on you so they decide how tight on your it is.

Once the first person in line without a wristband enters Hall H, that day's band is utterly worthless.

Hall H does still give out re-entry tickets though. They won't be checking for wristbands on top of them, I'm pretty sure. They have claimed to get more fussy about who they give them out to since there are bathrooms in the hall, but last year when we needed fresh air halfway through the day we were straight about it and they gave them to us no problem. Trading passes like that feels like a really lovely thing to do, though, at least to me. Other people waiting in line for the thing they care about didn't get to sit through panels in the meantime to skip back and forth between rooms.

Anyone still looking for a room at this point? The rest of my party ended up not being able to make it, so they're looking to get someone to take over the deposit of either a single King room or a double twin room at the Hilton Mission Valley. The rooms look really nice from the website. I could potentially take a roommate, too, if someone wants to split the cost of a double twin. I have PMs, or email yawgthedruid@aol.com E: Oh! Also, we have three spare tickets to w00tstock. Lower level, stage right, near the middle of the theater. Neraren fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Jun 29, 2015 |

I have an etiquette question. One of my books will be on sale on the exhibitor floor (a bookseller friend kindly offered to have it at his booth, as no way can I afford a booth). I have some nice postcards that I want to hand out that talk about the book and tell people which booth to get it at. Is it kosher to hand those cards out inside the convention center, preferably in the exhibitor room? Or should I hang out outside the con and hand them out?

I've DEFINITELY been given cards inside the hall. Most of the time it's someone in the relative vicinity of the booth but sometimes further away. Start close and see how far other people are going. Don't discount handing them out outside the convention center either. I would recommend staying away from the intersection of L and 5th (aka where EVERYONE is trying to cross the loving street) as that's always packed, always loud, and everyone's trying to get somewhere else. However if you go north a block or two or east/west a block or two, you're much less crowded and it's easier to have conversations.

Doing it inside you can convince people it's swag I once saw a guy in a less trafficked area near the smaller panel rooms upstairs dressed like a torture prisoner/hostage, he was on his knees with a dark cover over his head with a stack of flyers in front of him. Seemed kind of a nutty way to promote but kudos to his cosplay dedication. Might be good to dress up or have some eye catching theme to go with with your book?

It's a movie review book, and I cosplay the Phantom of the Paradise (which I review in the book) so that would work. The only problem with the cosplay is that the mask I wear gives me jack poo poo for peripheral vision and depth perception so I could end up shoving a postcard into someone's midsection.
