Videos Added From San Diego 2011 Comic Con

You know that panel is four days before GS' official release, right?  An ARC wouldn't be too terribly "advanced."

Okay, I'm not 100% sure if I'm clear to share this information, but as the news is bound to come out in the next few days anyway... Thanks to an agreement between Penguin and Mysterious Galaxy, Ghost Story will be available for sale at San Diego Comic Con.

Ok, now thats just cool   To give folks out there a chance, maybe, to get a signature while not being a part of the tour.  Very awesome of Jim and all associated.

Looking forward to SDCC, and am overjoyed Jim will be there (will be catching the panel, oh yes).  If you see young Luccio wandering around the con on Thursday with a Warden's cloak and other accoutrements, that's me.

In my coverage of the Jim's con exploits for the site, I'm going to make a concerted effort to photograph all the Dresden cosplayers.  Don't let me miss you!  I'll probably be dressed as PG!Molly that day.

Signing lotteries generally work this way at Comic-Con:

In your brochure, there will be a time at which they draw for the lottery.
Line up at the designated area.
You are allowed to draw a ticket to see if it has a star on the back.
You are allowed to go through the line again if you get into the back.
Hold onto your ticket (your badge pocket is a good place for it).
When the designated signing time comes around, line up at the appropriate stall.
Be nice to the Comic-Con people and listen to directions!

Thanks, Amber!  I've never participated in a signing lottery, and I appreciate your insight.

They may have changed the procedure, but I'm doubting it, because it worked well.

Went through the line 6 times to get 2 tickets to meet Moffat one year

Pfft!  Real Dresden fans will have bought Ghost Story on Wednesday or Thursday at the con and read it overnight!

Pris,

Do you know how many copies Mysterious Galaxy will have at the booth? I know that a lot of the Comic-Con Exclusives can sell out on Preview Night, and most of us don't have preview night passes.

No idea, but I imagine they will anticipate the MASSIVE demand and stock their shelves accordingly.

That would definitely be a sound business decision.

[Amber]

That would definitely be a sound business decision.

And if there's one thing that MG is good at, it's sound business decisions.

[Priscellie]

That would definitely be a sound business decision.

I messaged Mysterious Galaxy's co-owner, Maryelizabeth Hart, whom I hung out with briefly at last year's SDCC, making sure she knew to expect a fanatical frenzy.  I also asked her if it would be available Wednesday night.  I'll let you know what she says!

Just make sure she has at least one set aside for ILG acquisition.

I just heard back from Maryelizabeth! 

I just checked with the publisher, and our early on-sale exemption does include preview night.

Descend, my pretties, descend!
