I haven't done the tour, but the Gaslamp is downtown by the convention center, so plan for horrific traffic.

Will you be there too, Gail?

We forumites all need to have some sort of meetup at some point.  Perhaps after one of Jim's panels?

There's here, too:

Sunday, July 27
4:00-5:00 Buffy the Musical— Let's end this show with a bang! The powers that be behind Whedonopolis.com host a screening of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode "Once More With Feeling" as Comic Con 2008's big closing event! Many say this is the finest, funniest, most ingenious episode ever to come out of the Buffy-verse. But remember, the best part of the show is up to you! These eps were made for talkin'—back, that is—and singing and shouting and dancing in the aisles—with or without your dry cleaning! Audience participation: it isn't just for Rocky Horror and mob riots anymore. For more details on the screening visit www.whedonopolis.com, then show up for music, singing, and dancing crazy! Ballroom 20

After Jim's panels could be good.  We could go in search of dinner.

Meeting up after Jim's Spotlight panel is probably best.  It might be pizza from the cart at the con, but it's food.


The con was INSANE tonight.  This is my fourth or fifth year, and I've never seen that many people on Preview Night.

dinner after a panel is the best option for me - I would LOVE to hang out with you guys.  Providing I ever get there - I've been stuck in SFO for 7 hours and I still have 2 more to go before I MAYBE get on a flight.   @&)(;;(()$&&@$ crew cancellation!!!  Like Priscellie I'm gone on Sunday.

P.S.  Tomorrow I will be wearing a shirt that actually says "Daoine Sidhe" on it,  because I am a larger than life dork.  So if you see me say hi!

Oh, Gail! I empathize. I was stuck on the Tarmac for 5 1/2 hours before they finally canceled my flight, along with 60 others.  It took and act of god for me to get on a flight at 8am this morning.  But now I am here, and life is wonderful!

Dinner after Jim's spotlight panel sounds good to me.

G4 is showing the Comic Con on TV right now. Still no sign of Jim on their itinerary of guests. I hope they do an interview with him. They have already interviewed several comic book related panel guests and the actors for True Blood, the HBO TV series based on Charlaine Harris's books. Want to see Jim Butcher!!

Husband and I will both be sporting SplatterCon!!! shirts tomorrow.  We're going to try to get to the front of the HUGE room.

(Jim's spotlight panel is in the third biggest room at the con.  Maybe 2,000 people?)

I missed his floor signing today, but Tru Blood looks AWESOME.  Once life calms down, I'll have some great pictures to demonstrate the insanity that is Comic Con.

(I met Moffat today.)
