SDCC 2011

[KillKen]

Hey guys with camping out at CC. Do they have security on site? Thinking that if the Sideshow freaks party is on Friday I will got to that then wander down to CC. Anyone else camping that night?

I think it is technically illegal.

 

[The Josh]

It might be. People do it all the time every year though.

 

[KillKen]

Phew It'll be more me just sitting there uhhh resting my eyes

 

[The Josh]

You won't be the only one.

 

[Something Sexy]

What time do people start doing that at?

 

[The Josh]

Some do that from really early in the morning like 1-2am.

That isn't too bad, makes for a long day but I could see it being well worth it if there is something you really want to see.

Where it helps is if what you want to see is the first panel of the day. Otherwise if you wait in line you can usually do it. Thankfully only one panel has ever been in the morning to where I had to even think about it.

Haha nice. So once the first panel is opening and everyone goes in, then another line forms for the next panel?

 

[KillKen]

But people stay in the hall all day don't they? So if you don't get in first thing you might run the risk of not getting in at all.

One lines forms early on Thursday (or Tuesday if there's a Twilight panel) and it ebbs and flows through the weekend. I'd never really call it a new line at any time.

Yep.

Yep.

Gotcha, so basically if there is something I want to see that day, no matter what the time of the day (unless it was the first one, then I assume you have to get in line at like 1 or 2 am like Josh mentioned) it would behoove me to get in the line early in the morning so I can at least attempt to get into the hall.

I'm exaggerating a bit - only with the Twitards was there a continuous line. They usually start forming early morning for the first panel of the day. And sometimes you can get in middle of the day - it depends what's coming up.

 

[Buttmunch]

Yes. I typically camp out in Hall H most of the con.

And I hear ya Dave! I just pray the Twilight panel is the very first panel on Thursday. Get the Twitards in and out quick so everyone else can enjoy the rest of the week. Lots got screwed when Twlight was like the second or third panel of the day.

Thanks for the input! I will just have to wait and see what the schedule looks like and then decide what I want to do.

Yup, and some stay super full all day cause you don't have to leave the room.


Edit: Twilight fans did make things a bit of a pain in the arse getting around things.

 

[KillKen]

Hopefully The Avengers panel will be first up but I doubt it

 

[The Josh]

I'd really prefer if it wasnt that way I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn to make sure I see it.

 

[KillKen]

You will just have to stay up all night then Josh
