Damn it, now I have to choose between Jim and Psych. #Firstworldproblem

If it makes you feel any better, I may have to choose between Game of Thrones and...my job. =P

Even if he went, he might not be an official convention guest. Lots of people do unofficial stuff.

To get a press pass, you need to either show creds from the publication, or, if you write for a website, you have to show the website you write for and that you are a writer for it (business card, letter from site stating you're a writer for them, etc.).  CC's idea is that the more press, and electronic FAR outnumbers regular press, the better publicity for CC.  Of course, it's now sort of backfired, because they get SO much press, and Hollywood's come a-knocking, that the press aren't geeks anymore, but all the obnoxious pretty people from E! or Entertainment Tonight with their hair extensions and phaliic microphones.

Speak for yourself! I am 100% grade-A geek meat-- and professional journalist. :)

That said, it sounds like there might be a slightly smaller Hollywood quotient this year; a couple of companies (including Warner Bros.) will still be present in the exhibit hall, but won't be making a big presentation of any upcoming flicks.

I wonder if Jim will run a game at CC :> That would be a great party !

Brent and Karen


That'd be fun, but I suspect you'd get too many people wanting to play! Maybe if you pitted a few parties against one another or something ;)

I only ever had to do a regular registration once, in like...'04? '05? I don't remember having a problem with the online setup. But...even just five or six years ago it was a pretty different show! :)

Unfortunately if you want to go to SDCC, you really have to plan pretty far in advance. The full four-day(+preview night) passes for 2011 sold out at last year's convention, if I remember correctly. And that's without factoring in how fast the hotels book! I'm fortunate in that I have a friend with a house not too far off.

It's actually very odd from a press perspective, because they don't open press registration up until 1-2 months before the event. Their press requirements are fortunately not very demanding (in my experience), because if you waited for press reg and got denied, you'd pretty much be screwed out of going (unless you also got a paid registration).

I'll be at Comic Con, too.  Prolly stuck in the press rooms taking pics.  Hope Jim's on a panel.

I attend as press, but too niche for invites to the press rooms, generally. Every once in a while I get an invite to check out a game or something off-site though.
