Lotto waiting room...Edit: Apparently isn't new? I don't remember it from last year, odd.

Got first choice again. Nothing much else to add, really. Here's a 100+ page thread for Hotelpocalypse 2017 if you're interested: http://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?topic=7158.0

Lot of paranoia, anxiety, and theory-crafting in there, though, so beware.:tinfoil:

My badge came in today. Super neat thing they did this year.

Was thinking that as well. Getting ready for preview night, and I just finally looked at the schedule. Seems like business as usual for me and brother. Thursday is slow, Friday is Indigo Ballroom all day, and Saturday and Sunday are our usuals (Cartoon Voices, Quick Draw, etc.). We usually don't brave much else than that, but even if that weren't the case, there doesn't appear to be anything we're even tempted by.

Maybe I'll check out the pinball setup below the anime rooms.

Had a hard time figuring out where to pick up lanyard/bag. Went to C, redirected to G, redirected to E, and then went back to C. Usually don't have an issue, but it wasn't very clear to me this year where I was supposed to go.

E: this was at 5:45pm, 15 minutes before preview night floor opened.

Hmm, maybe it wasn't coincidence that they gave me everything but a lanyard when I picked up my bag at 6:00, while my brother got one. I went back right away to ask for one and got it, but maybe they were trying to ration them out at that point or something.

Indigo Ballroom is doing bag checks. This may take a while.

My badge scanned red entering SDCC today. I am positive I scanned out yesterday, and the only other thing I have done today is enter Indigo and have my badge scanned with a portable scanner (which took 7 tries, to which the volunteer confirmed it was bad WiFi on her device, and that others had the same issue with that specific scanner). No place to scan out from that room. Issue may have stemmed from that.

Guy asked for my ID, and asked if I had made sure to scan out yesterday. When I said "yes," he practically rolled his eyes and said "well, I don't know about that..." They then proceeded to card my brother who was at this point standing around waiting for me, despite the fact that he scanned in just fine.

Only problem I've ever had with scanners. I was singing their praise this morning as a matter of fact. The security attitude is a bit frustrating, though.

Some people with Hall H wristbands were not allowed in Hall H because it was full. People believe it to be the case that there were counterfeit bands that were used to get inside and take up those spaces. The people with legit bands left outside are being guaranteed 4-day badges for next year.

So I got in with all days still available, and only bought Sunday... I feel like that's blasphemous.

I do this for other family members who aren't going. It's basically my annual renewal fee for an extra Returning Registration chance the next year. This year it seems to have paid off. Mom and dad accounts got us all of our badges; my personal account and my brother (who goes to Comiccon each year with me) are still waiting in the line...
