Don't worry. If I ever did go I'd make sure to sign in as invisible to avoid you.

I am so relieved!

I contacted Con management to get the skinny on waiting in line every day for a single day's pass.

It's not so bad. We will be able to pick up the next day's badges starting the afternoon before in the Sails Pavillion. I can live with that.

Here's the email:

Well, you just need a CP filter to kill reflection on glass. And don't use a damned flash.

And I'm sorry, but the SGs deserve DSLR camera goodness.

But I will have my point and shoot as well.

Too true!

I am not going back to a simple camera now!

You still have to deal with all the fingerprints etc.. But if your willing to risk your DSLR there be my guest just pointing out some of the pitfalls of it.

[BadMoon]

I got the 4 day thing. Do I have to stand in line every day?

 

[SpawnFan]

Its in the SDCC its upstairs.

Cool, thanks.

If you have a 4-day pass you only have to stand in line once.

 

[Darth Caedus]

I got the 4 day thing. Do I have to stand in line every day?

Yes and No. You only have to stand in line preview night, if you go, to get your pass. Every other day, you have to stand in the normal line to get into the floor.

 

[BadMoon]

Cool! Thanks!

Last year it took me all of 5 minutes to get my badge. Wednesday afternoon was great.

 

[Sick Boy 82]

Well, for everyone having to stand inline on Thursday morning for their first days pass, I'll be there with you.

I was thinking about getting in that line at 3am or 4am, as I don't want to standing in line for hours just waiting to get in.

What time do you recommend going to the convention center?

Last year my flight got in around Noon. I guess I got to the convention center around 1-2 o'clock on Wednesday. I had no problem whatsoever getting my badge. I don't even recall there being much of a line. Don't know how it was later in the afternoon. It will probably take me longer this year as my flight doesn't get in til around 4.

I get in at 10:30. Time to stop and have a few then get in line.
