Jerry, we are going to organize a trip for this next year. We'll carpool or something. We'll see if we can get some of the other Rovers involved too. ^^

We should group up, get cosplays involved, have awesome hotel parties and capture all the debauchery on camera.

it will happen in 2010, mark our words :D

I suggest you get your passes as soon as possible. There is a cut off at 125,000 passes, and quite a few people were buying them even on preview night (like I did).

I am going to try to get a pass as soon as I hear it's available.

I dont think online registration is up just yet :P

Though we'll have to keep an eye out for it. :)

My guess is check in early September, or about the time the first Con updates are mailed out.

Wish I had pictures of these, there were two billboard trucks driving around the convention centre (along with one of the "Heroes" Nissan Cubes) that were advertising two films. They were driving along side me most of the way home on I-5.
One was promoting Halloween II, the other was for Inglorius Bastards, that featured a black and white picture of a roughened up Brad Pitt, and had the tag line "Brad Pitt is a Basterd" :D (yes, that's the way it was spelled)

Personally they should have had more to promote Iron man 2.

or did they? my xbox is at home still downloading xbox live coverage. and my friend has the "Live" Attack of the show on his DVR. :D
I'll pretend if i was there in spirit. :P

Thanks for posting your pictures ed!

I have to admit this view is pretty epic. :D

Not to mention taking 3 pictures to show the MASSIVE MASSIVE HUGE LINES :P

Wow, that line looks like it would TAKE ALL DAY TO FILTER IN :P

Liquid · August 03, 2009, 02:42:59 PM

Wow, if the lines are THAT long....I dunno if I wanna go anymore. :D

Step 1: Hire 100 more people to help with line control.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!

As bad as the lines look, they move fast.

lolz.. I went to Comic Con last year and I'd have to say I love pure anime conventions so much more than CC. X'D But that's just me.... owo'

Oh man, are tickets really going to be $100 for 2010? Ugh, indecision. I wish I knew if I was going to get laid off, that will factor heavily into planning.

My pics from this year: http://www.flickr.com/photos/88479354@N00/sets/72157621789846145/

I felt like I spent a lot more time in line this year than I have in the past.
