Topic: Comic Con 2013

I know it's way too early for most people to be thinking about it, but since I don't actually live in the good old US of A (God save the Queen) I need to have plans set in motion and possibly finalised by New Year

Expect for the damn badges themselves. Turns out I missed pre-registration and can't buy them till early 2013.

Anyway, thoughts? and plans? and anything related to this?

it would be my first con so any tips would be cool as well i.e. where is best to stay/not stay.

Re: Comic Con 2013

Are you in the film or game industry? Like, at all? It's pretty straightforward to get a pro badge for free if you have a few credits on IMDb.

Otherwise, I actually can't help ya too much, I've been on Comic Con welfare for the past seven years. (That is to say, riding the free pro badge thing each year.)

Re: Comic Con 2013

Nope. Just a lowly medical student.

Wasn't actually looking for help on that front. Should be straightforward enough to get badges when they go on general public sale. I think. I hope.

Re: Comic Con 2013

Oh, I mean, like, advice. I don't actually know much about the usual registration.

But if you make it out here, make your presence known so we can meet up somewhere or another. And book your hotel the second you know you're going.  smile

Re: Comic Con 2013

That's fine. I figured as much since you're all pro's. Though (I dunno if you'd even know) has there been an instance of Comic Con 'selling out' of badges?

And you know I will. That's the whole point of the trip. The promise of a possible look at Trey's ponytail in the flesh.

A Trey-in-the-wild sighting is rare indeed.

That means he's worth more to poachers.

Re: Comic Con 2013

Any non-pros going this year? Badges go on sale on Saturday.....I'll probably get a pass for the weekend since I'll be in the states at the time but flying from Austin. Don't even know if it's worth the full 4 days really since I'll be on my own. Just need to find a place to stay and I'm set!

Anyone making plans for the thing yet?

Re: Comic Con 2013

If I manage to make it to the states this summer, I might try and snag a pass somehow.

Re: Comic Con 2013

I have a pass, I think Mike and Eddie have passes.

This is the first year since I've been going that I couldn't get a complimentary guest pass. Obama.

I wonder if Eddie has any wacky plans to do the beach house thing again. We could really get into some fun trouble if that were the case, it was a blast last year.

Re: Comic Con 2013

God damn it. Couldn't get any passes. The site kept crashing and timing out and after an hour and a half, informed me it was game over. Didn't get jack shit. Pretty saddening as I didn't even want a full 4 day pass and thought I had a good shot as it. Oh well  smile

Re: Comic Con 2013

I am planning on a beach house-y thing.  I haven't started looking yet, but I probably should.
