I got in the waiting room at 8:07 with two codes (mine and my sister's) on two browsers, Firefox and Chrome and the Firefox one went through. Got in at about 9:17 and everything went great, I was able to purchase all three badges I needed. I'm relieved it worked out but I'm still not a fan of lotteries. I prefer hard work and getting up early to get in line.

Oh drat, I hope for several of my friends' sakes that they open member ID registration before open sales. But the page does say it'll reopen AFTER open sales, wah wahhhh.

Sorry just to clarify - if I already bought my badge during the previous sale (no preview night) can I still buy badges for others? If yes, I can help someone out that wants to get an extra try.

Any groups I can get on in as military? I see their prices are a bit cheaper and I wanted to get them at that price? But I don't know how their verification or so for military works. I just wanted two badges for a day or two.

Haha

Welp, at this point I should probably just piggy back off someone else's badge

Are you serious?? I think you have the worst luck out of anyone when it comes to getting badges.

Now the floor is so crowded every day (not just Sunday when the vendors have deals) that you can barely take pictures of cosplayers.

stop that. Take your pictures OUTSIDE SO EVERYONE CAN KEEP MOVING

I didn't realize it was a thing hating people taking pictures without saying anything. I always worry about slowing people down, because I know if I'm in the walkways I'm running from one place to another as fast as I can, and if I'm in the exhibit hall I'm trying not to block traffic.

I don't even go into the exhibit hall after Thursday because of all the people taking photos and slowing poo poo down.

I thought the Hilton parking at least was overnight. I was thinking about buying parking this year, but not if I can't just leave my car sitting there for the week.

Okay so who wants to let me pay to shower in their room, cause I sure as gently caress can't afford the rates this year. Jesus christ it's ridiculous. Last year I was at least able to snag a pretty nice place off Airbnb when I couldn't swing a hotel room, but it looks like everyone caught on and wants $700 a night for their shanty in Imperial Beach.

So, any info on parties outside of the con yet? I've been looking and haven't really seen anything party-wise for promoting new movies or shows or games or whatever.

There are three certain things in this life. Death, taxes and new Mega64 con exclusive DVD.

Friday in the indigo ballroom so far:

2:30 Mike Tyson
4PM Bob's Burgers
5PM Archer

I thought Adult Swim was usually there on Friday? Is their time/day announced yet?

Does the Comic-con site have the definitive list of exclusives, or should I be checking somewhere else?

Hey I don't know if this is cool to do here or not but if anyone going to SDCC could pick me up a copy of Giant Size Kung Fu Bible Stories from the Image booth I'd gladly pay double the price for it. I want that comic so goddamn bad.

PM me your phone number, if you can text - I wouldn't mind picking this up for you but I'd want to make 100% when I'm there that you're still up for it.

It's too bad none of the exclusives I've seen so far are very exciting to me. I like cool art stuff like that rad Steamboat Mickey I bought a year or two ago.

You can try asking around on friends of cc. I have no idea if this room is still open:

Bummer! I guess I'll pick up a Thursday badge if I can, then try my luck for Friday and Saturday on general sales day.

e: gently caress Thursday is almost gone too!! I wonder if they allotted less for presales this year. Or my party just has bad luck. Oh well, either way.

e again: Woaaaah, even Sunday sold out so soon!!
