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

lizziebith · 07-09-2008, 04:47 PM

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.

BarTopDancer · 07-09-2008, 04:51 PM

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

Capt Jack · 07-09-2008, 05:00 PM

one thing you might just wanna keep in mind peeps....

Comic Con 2008...going......going......

iffin ya lag, youre gonna be left out

lizziebith · 07-09-2008, 05:05 PM

^^ 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.

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.

Burning Man went corporate?! From what I understand it's still as awesome as ever, if not more so due to insane size. [/tangent]

I was actually considering going this year... just for a day. Can't believe the weekend is already sold out. Oh well...

Bornieo: Fully Loaded · 07-09-2008, 07:31 PM

I'll be there the whole time. I"m still a "Pro" so I get comp'ed in. I might have an extra pass if the first person offered turns it down. PM me if interested.

ISM is right about the throng of corp. I really was considering only going a couple days this year, but there are alot of programing I wanna see.
