Phone posting, so hopefully this doesn't break tables. Here's an image of the available hotel map from this morning. Keep in mind that not all hotels are available on all days.

For those who'll be using the trolley a lot, the MTS app lets you buy passes for the Con days that you can just keep on your phone. I got mine for all five days, and now that's one less thing to worry about. Now I can go back to obsessing over which T-shirts to pack, where I want to eat, and whether my Mr. B Natural costume will be ready in time.

I learned last night that they shipped to the address of the person who bought the tickets, not the address they have on file for you member id (which I thought would be the case). So I have my passes but I don't have my passes (as the friend who was the primary purchaser is in another state).

Hard Rock Cafe (not Hotel mind you) is doing it's third annual comic drive for troops. If you give them a comic or graphic novel, they'll give you a lanyard good for like 10% off your bill.

Don't do it for the discount, do it because you have stacks of glossy paper sitting in your closet that's worth nothing and you never read and would be more useful to someone sitting in the middle of nowhere looking to occupy their time.

CCI has put out their initial list of exclusives. This is by no means comprehensive and will see updates up to the show.
http://www.comic-con.org/cci/2016/exclusives

Also, Double Dare is coming to SDCC because that's a thing that existed in the past so why not??? Although it does make sense seeing how Nick is doing a huge retro thing this year, i can only assume because they really have no good shows recently.

Yes, even better priority.

quote:

We are excited to announce that Conan O’Brien will be broadcasting his show from San Diego during Comic-Con 2016 and is inviting badged attendees to the taping!

This email is your EXCLUSIVE advance notice to reserve free tickets to a live taping of Conan O'Brien's show at San Diego's Spreckels Theater, July 20 through 23.

That's right, he is letting Comic-Con 2016 attendees get first chance to sign up before general ticketing begins!

Here's how to submit for a chance to see CONAN in San Diego:

1. Go to http://teamcoco.com/tickets and select the date and amount of tickets for the Comic-Con taping you'd like to attend. If you do not have a 1iota account, you will be prompted to create one.

2. In the "Promo Code" field, enter the TOP SECRET CODE REDACTED. Please do not leak this code as they’ve created it especially for Comic-Con 2016 attendees.

3. In the "Comic-Con Member ID" field, enter your unique Comic-Con Member ID. Please note, you'll need to present your corresponding Comic-Con 2016 badge, or barcode confirmation email, plus photo ID to claim your tickets onsite.

Your submission will be automatically waitlisted. If your submission is selected you'll receive an email from 1iota.com letting you know that you have tickets available. BE SURE TO LOG ON TO 1iota.com AND CLAIM YOUR TICKETS. Until you claim your tickets, you do not have tickets reserved.

Don't delay; the clock is ticking!

Thanks and let’s give Conan a fun audience he’ll never forget!

Exhibit Hall hours:
Preview Night - 6PM to 9PM
Thurs, Fri, Sat - 9:30AM to 7PM
Sun - 9:30AM to 5PM

(I believe the 9:30 start is only partially right. I want to say they almost always open at 9 even though they say 9:30).
