Hard to imagine that it's already here. I plan on attending Saturday. Anyone else going this year?

Working the whole thing. Hubby is a GOH this year. I get tired just thinking about it...

We will have a booth. I'll post the number later this week.

I really wanted to go with our Bornieo, but it's not possible at the moment. I know Bornieo's going for sure.

Can someone please report back on what the Octagon Global Recruiting commercial was about?

^^ true dat, although I've never actually paid to get in IIRC. Not so much being a creator's wife, as that's fairly recent, but I used to go the volunteer route. Before that...well we snuck in.

Ssshhh. It was a very long time ago.

Anyway, don't forget you can volunteer. One year I hung out with RA Salvatore being his gofer as my "entrance fee." It was entirely pleasant.

It is so much more enjoyable to sneak in.

Remember when THE place to stay was the U.S. Grant? Remember when the film programming was 16mm? Remember the time we met Theodore Sturgeon, George Clayton Johnson and Harlan Ellison in the lobby of the Hotel San Diego? Remember when someone stole Jack Kirby's Eisner Award, and Harlan bitched everyone out over the intercom? Remember the time we all slept in the hospitality suite? Or when Patrick drank himself under the bed by 9:00 pm? I once slept on folding chairs in the screening room, lulled to sleep by Invaders From Mars. And what about Peter Goff and Vale Lord in elf suits? Or the haunted floor at the El Cortez?

It's way too big now.

I have so many friends who go annually, but I've never been. And I don't think I ever will.

It's become too big and too corporate. It would be kinda like attending Burning Man now, a decade after it's slid into a pale shadow of its former.
