San Diego Comic Con: July 24-27
Priscellie:
Thanks for the great tips, Wraith!
Amber:
Wraith's got some great ones-
Also, there are places to refill your water bottle. So bring the kind that you can clip to your bag.
You might be waiting in line outside to get into some of the panels that you want to go to. Bring sunscreen (or an umbrella). Yes, not only can you get heatstroke, but you can burn before 7am. (We're geeks. It's not like we see the sun all that often!)
Hall H: You'll understand what I mean when you get there, but: You cannot leave this room and come back. There are bathrooms inside. You can bring food and water, though there is a snack cart that you can access. The line is long. And I mean, get there more than an hour before the panel you think you're going to long. (See above note about waiting outside--- The parking structure Wraith was talking about? The Hall H line end is probably somewhere around there.) So if you're dead set on the Heroes panel? Line up for Hall H that morning and don't plan on anything else for the rest of the day.
Amber:
Wow.
