Well...Where to begin? At the beginning I guess...

Wednesday:
Arrived Wednesday afternoon, checked into the Marriott next door, sailed through the pass line then went out to meet up with Timesmasher and ended up back at the Marriott having a scrumptious Hawaiian fusion dinner at Roy's. It was the last bit of real peace we had for the next five days.

You've simultaneously made me jealous and somehow reinforced my desire to never go to SDCC. Wow. I had no idea there was so much getting up early to wait involved. I don't think I could handle all of that.

Were you the one at Torchsong who asked about the possibility of an evening cabaret at SDCC?

[lv2bliberal]

Yeah, that was me at TorchSong. I asked Jonathan about it afterwards and he said there was no possible way to put it together for this year, but perhaps for 2010. I think I'll keep bugging Mary Lee and Jonathan about it and see what comes.

Although, with John's little announcement I just heard, I have a feeling things might change drastically by next Comic Con.

You don't need to get there quite that early unless you want to get the very front. I was there at around 6 and got a VERY good seat 7 rows back.

Congrats! Since I needed a center aisle seat I knew that would be harder to come by, so I didn't want to leave too much to chance. But definitely, if you don't care too much about getting a particular seat, just near the front somewhere, you can get a bit more sleep. :-)

I hope I didn't offend you. I totally am in awe of your dedication in documenting this since your footage is so beautiful. I just didn't want edibleflowers to get discouraged.

No offense at all. Last year I got in line about 5am to get into the building and ended up about 15th in line for Ballroom 20. I didn't get the exact seat I wanted, but the TORCHWOOD panel wasn't the first of day, so I had a chance to move up after the first panel was over. With David never having been at CC before, and being the first panel of the day, I didn't want to take any chances...so I did a crazy thing. =D

No, I don't wish to discourage people either, so it's great you pointed that out. Most people aren't as anal as I about where they want to sit as long as it's somewhere near the front. :-)
