Comic Con International 2009

G.I.R · March 19, 2009, 12:29:49 PM

I was able to get a hotel for Comic Con 2009 today! Is anyone else going (San Diego Convention Center, July 23-26 2009, preview night July 22nd)?
I also see that single day passes are available again this year.

GUHHHHH~

I TOTALLY want to go, but I think by that time I'll either be in Japan or Korea. Most likely Korea. ;.;

Kandybar · March 25, 2009, 12:04:29 PM

Got my pass and my hotel and am ready to go! :) (Well, I will have to buy plane tickets at some point.)

There's always Amtrak to.

That is very true; however, I am impatient and like to get places as quickly as possible. :D (Although, out of curiosity, how long does it take to get from San Jose to San Diego by train? Give me a book and portable video games and I'm good for several hours.)

G.I.R · March 25, 2009, 01:16:51 PM

Not sure about the time, but I can tell you the train station near several of the con hotels though.

Shift-7 · March 25, 2009, 10:56:55 PM

That train ride would probably take about eight hours. Give or take. I'm already most of the way to San Diego though so I will be there again this year for sure!

Kandybar · March 26, 2009, 02:54:21 PM

Amtrak estimates 12 hours from San Jose to San Diego. :o Looks like it's the plane for me!

macaulayman · April 22, 2009, 09:35:35 PM

I'm going

Jerry · April 23, 2009, 03:20:40 PM

missing out this year Boo.

everything sold out WAY too quick.

I'll be watching via Cable Coverage [ like G4 - Attack of the Show ] and via all the panels which will be on you tube like last year :P

Kandybar · April 29, 2009, 08:43:09 AM

I know, the 4-day passes and Saturdays went crazy fast. And I see Friday's sold out now too. So much for recruiting more people for the room, I guess.

donnathedead · April 30, 2009, 07:10:49 PM

I'm going! Anyone driving from the bay area? I'm not sure if I'm flying yet...

G.I.R · July 15, 2009, 12:38:51 PM

Comic Con Starts in seven Days. Anyone else going?

Liquid · July 15, 2009, 01:03:41 PM

Not going. I heard it was all sold out and I have other things going on that weekend too. Oh well. Maybe next year?

Gonna be busy on Friday. Miazaki At 12:00, Robot Chicken at 3:00, and The Worst Cartoons Ever Friday night! ;D

G.I.R · July 23, 2009, 01:28:30 PM

Update:

Preview night was nuts. They had to open the Exhibit hall a half hour early due to crowds.

I nearly got knocked over a couple of times. (remember I'm still kind of recovering from brain surgery last year). I did bring a cane with me, but it's in my car. I may take it back to the con with me later, and using it for balance won't necessarily be it's primary use. ;D

Already bought my pass for next year. $100.00 (ouch!)

Hasbro is displaying a Transformers Edition 2010 Camero. Looks almost identical to Bumble Bee, except for the gun metal gray "Transformers" logo on the black part of the hood. There are even Autobot logos on the sides under the Camero name. And yes you can buy one this fall at a Chevrolet dealer. (Pictures later after I upload them to Photobucket.

Viz has a huge booth again this year, as well as Funimation.

More to come.

SOawesomeness · July 27, 2009, 12:20:26 AM

Damn, I really wanted to go. D:
A few of my friends went and they had a good time... >.>

$100, really...? o.0 I have no idea what their prices are, but srsly $100?

G.I.R · July 27, 2009, 10:25:45 AM

Yeah. Tickets for this year were $75 for the 4-day pass. I've got lots of pictures to upload and post yet. In the meantime, here is a quick video of the Transformers Edition 2010 Camero that was on display.
