SDCC 2011

[UTtoyfan]

Oh no, Wondercon is a great mix of almost exactly what you see at SDCC, only scaled down considerably with a nice quiet floor. No humming din of 130,000 people. Maybe like 30,000, if that. Not sure. But more comics, some of the same dealers, smaller panels, etc. Lots of fun, and so little hassle. You can walk right up to artists or writers you want to meet. Very laid back.

I've been three times, and while I can't seem to get into the Masquerade at SDCC, it was never a problem in SF, and I like the surroundings too. Cheaper hotels, the con is like what, $30? Such a great value. Also, I can be in downtown SF in about an hour and a half from here in Vegas. Same as SD, but still. Try driving from here to SF...

Wondercon sounds like a great time! I was gonna go this year since my SDCC plans were shot to hell by my work. Plus it's always during my birthday, so I will most likely try to go to WonderCon next year.

COOL!!!!!!!!!

Nothing here yet, even though I submitted mine less than 2 minutes after it opened up. Expecting to crash-and-burn yet again. Oh well. It's now as much a tradition as SDCC itself.

How soon after you submitted did you get your confirmation email?

Looks like just over 24 hours or so, since pretty much everyone started submitting around Noon ET yesterday and confirmation of bookings started going out about an hour or two ago.

I was talking about his confirmation of reservation email. See if that had some barring on exactly when in line he was compared to when others received theirs.

 

[IrishJedi]

HOLY CRAP! I got it!!! And my first choice... the Hard Rock!!

 

[Darksider]

WTF! Almost spit out my soda!

I placed my reservation within one or two minutes after it opened yesterday, and got my reservation confirmation about 25.5 hrs later.

It's nice to see some of you get your first choices. I don't remember that being the case last year.

Well it seems like the hotel reservations are running smoothly - let's hope they can work on the online ticket buying for next year.
