===========================
I promised Jim a Brand New $20 bill if he went to Comic con 2010.
I will honor that same rate for Comic Con 2011.

I know Jim expressed interest in going, as it's so close to GS's release date, but it hasn't been confirmed one way or the other. Come on, SDCC!
-
Being sick at the beginning of the year, has shot down even a one day ticket to Comic Con.
By the time I knew I could be well enough to attend they were sold out.

Sorry you did not get tickets .. I know they release some later in the year .. best of luck if you try
Comic con tickets and rooms are a pain. Last year I could only get 2 single day tickets and was lucky enough to have some friends that work for comic con and they helped out. I hope to move to a closer hotel as my current one is 3 miles away .. thank dresden they have shuttles. (last year was less than 1 mile so could walk)
c
One trick I found out was comic con has a group in Linkedin and an Comic con RSS feed for events .. but it seems the release day for tickets is always iffy .. and the room booking for me at least is always difficult.
Once you get into comic con you can buy next year 4 day with preview at the con. (paying in advance for next years event)
-
I have rooms, and tickets to the SDCC W00tstock! and The Nerdist Podcast live that will be going on during the con. The new ticketing system this year was an Epic Fail and I was unable to buy tickets even though we were refreshing the damned page all day.
I will be trying to get tickets for the actual con after the refunds are processed, and I think there will be many refunds as I know people accidentally purchased 20 tickets due to the problems with the reg site.
SDCC really needs to find a ticket partner who is able to handle events of this size, because they really dropped the ball this year. It's odd, because there was no problems buying for 2010.
-
I couldn't get tickets, either, but I live in town & would be interested in meeting up with forumites for dinner :)
-
I'm going to SDCC. I'm an exhibitor so I won't get much time to explore. I'm at the blanklabel table which is 1330, if anyone would like to say hi. I do free sketches.
-
I'll be at Comic-Con-- we should throw a little release party for Ghost Story. :D
-
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.
-
Wow,,,SDCC is sold out already....I was thinking of going :(
-
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).
-
All tickets--even single-day tickets--sold out for SDCC months in advance. SDCC is crazypants.
-
They actually sold out the day they wen on sale. I am convinced that many people accidentally over-bought because of the website problems with the online ordering process.
-
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! :)
-
I used to go every year, but missed one, and haven't been able to get tickets since.
Hoping to talk someone who is going this year into buying me tickets for next year.
-
Last year at SDCC 2010, I and my wife both had to provide Driver Licenses (CA) that they scanned in along with Visa CC as part of buy tickets for this year.
I understand they do it in part to prevent ticket scalpers.
A friend works CC in the Gaming Area. (Yes they have a few rooms for Role Playing and Board Games at CC).
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 understand they do it in part to prevent ticket scalpers.
What was happening was that people would get tickets online, and then sell that on eBay, get money for it, and then show up earlier than the person they sold the ticket to, and then that person's barcode would already be swiped as in. OR, they'd just sell copies of the badges. (The badges have a special cut for authenticity).
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. The incidence of creepy stalker types has grown as well, not to mention violence - someone got stabbed in the eye in Hall H last year, right before Harrison Ford came on.
But yeah, people buy tickets for the following year's Comic Con the year before now. Hotels are a total gamble. You have to wait until the day they announce rooms in March (Travel Planners is the company) and then everyone throws in with their picks, crashes the server, and then you get a room (hopefully) by lottery's pick. Which pretty much guarantees you don't get a hotel within walking distance, because all the studios have blocked out rooms for their peeps, shows, actors, etc.
125,000 attendees descend on San Diego that weekend, and that's not counting the exhibitors, press, professionals (studios, actors, producers, writers, publishers) and redshirts (that's what we call the security people, cuz they wear red golf shirts with ELITE on the back) that are there as well.
But the best advice of all for CC - comfortable walking shoes. ;)

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.

Would that they would just stay in the exhibit hall. They're in the press rooms, crashing questions over the geek press at their tables.
-
Last year at SDCC 2010, I and my wife both had to provide Driver Licenses (CA) that they scanned in along with Visa CC as part of buy tickets for this year.
So no dice on sending a friend? Or can I just send them with my DL and a CC?
I used to just have to pick up a form and return it by the end of the con :(
-
All tickets--even single-day tickets--sold out for SDCC months in advance. SDCC is crazypants.
it was worse than that this year. When they went to sell tickets, their site crashed twice. They then went to Leapfrog to sell the tickets, but even borrowing server space from Amazon.com wasn't enough.
The system was cleary overloaded. Had to refresh at each step of the process to get anywhere. Glad I had the day off, since it took 2 hours to sign up.
Think they sold out in a matter of hours.
(Of course, this doesn't count the at convention passes. Which are sold at show. However, the show is so popular now, those seem to be unfair to those who can't attend.)
Update:
While tickets aren't currently available, apparently more passes will be for sale in the near future.
At this time we expect to have 1,500 4-day badges available for purchase.
http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_reg.php
(BTW: Has there been any update in regards if Jim will attend?)
-
I'm hoping to get a 4-day or a Friday.
-
Sorry for this late notice, but I'd only just found out. Tickets will go on sale, I think in the next 20 minutes (assuming I'm reading the website right).
http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_reg_resales.php
The note, as I read it suggests that tickets will go for sale @ 10:00am PST, and that's basically 1:00 EST, which is 15 minutes away.
Just checked, and Tickets are for Sale NOW!
Unless the stie crashes and/or freezes, then it'll likely get pushed back.
Also, a bit of advice, if they use the same service for ticket sign up (Leapfrog, or Leap something), I recommend that you refresh at every step until you get an active screen. That's the only way I was able to get my pass, at least.

-
It's Epic, there's a waiting room system, and they'll be gone soon. Out of morbid curiosity, tried to get in line at 10:05, and ended up #5800 (for 1500 tix).
-
Tix are now sold out. Thankfullly I was able to get a 4 day pass. Single day passes will go onsale soon - possible over the weekend but likely next week. I am been following @Comic-con on twitter and had twitter text my phone when they post. They posted 1 hour before tix went on sale, so if you want to get a single day, I would do the same.
By the way, once you get into the waiting room, DO NOT REFRESH. If you do, you will go to the end of the line.

I wasn't sure about the set up. Since that wasn't how it worked when I originally signed up (back in Feburuary) & this is the first year that Leapfrog(? or whoever) has been handling things for Comic Con.
Prior years have been Travel Partners, if I recall.
-
So any news yet on if Jim will be attending? It's only 23 days to the show!
-

Well I know from past years, SDCC generally doesn't list all the events or guests until right before the convention (usually a week or two). This is the first time I've known of possible attendee in advance.
I mean, it'll be no shocker if Seth MacFarlane or the Mythbusters show, since they've shown for the last three years. But from what I see, all the listed guests have something to do with the comics industry. And from memory, I think that's the way it always is.
-
Even if he went, he might not be an official convention guest. Lots of people do unofficial stuff.
-
True, but if he is going, I would expect some sort of panel. If not actually at SDCC, then there would be more reason to let ppl know. Much like that dinner that was near NYCC.
So I assume one of these options is true. 1. The details aren't in place. 2. Things like this are secret until the last minute. 3. Jim isn't coming.
I know SDCC will be a blast with or without Jim, but it would be nice if he's there.
-
For those still looking for tickets, Single Day resale badges are going on sale Today 6/30 at 10:00 am PST / 1:00 EST.
That's in 40 minutes, folks!
-
Driving down from the Bay Area for the Wed pre show and staying though to Monday. (Last year I missed the Brown-coat event on Sunday) ???
Wishing for a Jim B event but if not I still save a brand new $20 bill (or slightly used one) maybe a change jar considering the cost of the rooms :>

Thursday schedule is up. http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci11_prog_thu.php
(Remember, the schedule isn't always completely accurate. People appearing may change, etc.)
I got thursday tickets, but think I"m going to be spending the day in line for next year's tickets.
-
I hear you. I am going to try to get into Ballroom 20 on Thursday. It's going to be Burn Notice with Bruce Campbell - Covert Affairs - Psych - Game of Thones back to back
-
HURRAH! We can finally announce that Jim WILL be in attendance!
Thursday
1:15-2:15 Books vs. Graphic Novels and Comics— Writers often dabble with various forms of art as an outlet for their creativity. In this panel, authors discuss the process and collaboration involved in publishing a graphic novel versus a novel, as well as the role comic books play in the creation of their characters and story arcs. Panelists Christopher Moore and Ian Corson (The Griff), Jim Butcher (The Harry Dresden series), Tom Sniegoski (The Fallen series), Amber Benson (The Calliope Reaper Jones novels), and Matthew Holms (Babymouse, Squish) talk about the differences and similarities with moderator David Mariotte of Mysterious Galaxy. Room 6A
More info will be released when I'm given permission to release it. :D
-
Damn it, now I have to choose between Jim and Psych. #Firstworldproblem
-
LOL, sorry Pris.
-
Knew I should have got tickets...
-
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

Friday schedule is up.
This caught my eye:
7:00-8:00 What's Up with Penguin— Anne Sowards (executive editor, Ace/Roc), Jessica Wade (senior editor, Ace/Roc), and Erin Dempsey (director of trade marketing, Penguin Young Readers Group) give you the dish on forthcoming books from such exciting authors and licensed properties as Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, S. M. Stirling, Rachel Caine, Heather Brewer, Richelle Mead, Kathy Reichs, John Flanagan, and many others. You can expect lots of giveaways you won't see anywhere else at the convention, including free advance reading copies! Room 9
So possible ARC of Ghost Story????
-
It would be lovely to meet Amber again. She is SUCH a dollbaby sweetheart.

You know that panel is four days before GS' official release, right? An ARC wouldn't be too terribly "advanced." :D
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.
Here is Jim's full SDCC schedule, which I know I am clear to share:
Thursday, 11AM - 12:30PM, AA18
Signing
Thursday, 1:15PM - 2:15PM, 6A
Panel: Books vs. Graphic Novels and Comics
Thursday, 2:45PM - 3:45PM, AA2
Signing with other panelists
Friday, 11AM - 12:30PM, AA19
Signing
Saturday, 4PM - 5:30 PM, AA19
Signing
I *believe* that Jim's signings, with the exception of the post-panel signing on Thursday, will be ticketed by lottery. This has not yet been confirmed, though. I'll get you the info as I receive it.
-
Does anyone want to do a Mac's dinner in San Diego?

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. ;D

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 :D

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

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.

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. ;)

Hope there are still some left on Thursday!
-
Will those who grab the books from SDCC be able to post spoilers from Ghost Story in the spoiler section, or will they have to wait until the book is available everywhere else?
-
So will the book be going for $30 at SDCC? Also, if anyone is going to preview night, I am vaguely interested in paying somebody to pick up a book for me, run it outside, so I can start reading Wednesday night.
It can wait until I get in on Thursday, but Wednesday would be better.
Of course, it might not be possible to snag anything on Wednesday & for all I know, there might be a limit on how many books you can get.
Hence, why I'm only got a vague idea of how this could be managed.
-
Will those who grab the books from SDCC be able to post spoilers from Ghost Story in the spoiler section, or will they have to wait until the book is available everywhere else?
Absolutely not. Other than those five sample chapters, there is to be NO discussion of material from Ghost Story until July 26th. We'll post our updated spoiler policy soon.

For all you brown coat fans (given he will likely be at Comic Con) thought you may enjoy this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCf9M5GsDSs&feature=player_embedded
I thought is was funny ....
-
Update - they apparently sold out of the book on preview night. You can purchase at the signings, but otherwise out of luck.
Also, if you aren't in line for 6a, you won't likely have a seat.
FYI I did get a seat, but the room is packed. Some might leave, from this panel - which ends at 1, but I'm not optimistic.
Plan to audio record if allowed, but I'l be using the free iRecorder/Omega Recorder for first time, so there might a limit in length that I am not aware.

Well if nobody can provide better, I'll do my best. Again, it's only audio. Plus, I vaguely understand the program is hard to export. Worse case scenario, I will transcribe my recordings.
But hey it was free.
-
Woo @ least 80 ppl seem to be leaving. Suck @ guessing.
Room clear, but nobody seems to be coming in yet.

Yet another reason you're the best, Lady P.
-
Messed up recording a bit, but really not all that interesting. Panel was almost entirely on-topic & Jim didn't talk much, maybe 5-6 times. Most interesting question was that there was a rumor of a DF movie. The answer got jumped on by another panelist meandering around how an Author can be the last to know about projects in the works.
Then it was handed over to Jim, who must have mumbled his response, because I missed it.
Plan to try for Peguin panel. Hope Jim makes a showing.
-
I skipped the panel, but made it to the limited signing. Didn't get tickets the first time I drew, but when I wandered by the signing, they still had some left, and I got in :) Also got my copy of GS.
-
Been really busy today, where is the signing lottery? Upstairs (in central area), or down at a booth?
-
It was in the autograph area at 9 am today. I only had a Thursday badge, so I didn't pay attention to what's going on the other days.
-
Jim at the Books vs Graphic Novels & Comics panel at Comic Con today, Thursday July 21.
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/UprightIguana/Comic%20Con%202011/IMG_1343_d.jpg)
Love his t-shirt. S'very Harry.
He told me that Ghost Story was available at the Con now.

Jim said, "What have you heard?"
Because there are no plans of a Dresden movie that he is aware of. :D

Although this topic was much less likely to provide something jucy, and I totally agree that topic'd pannels should be respected and not derailed with DF fanaticism, I have seen some topiced pannels produce some reeeeealy great WoJ on the DF (specifically the 2008 Comic-Con, Playing God pannel), so one can always hope.
Oh, and I was also very interested in seeing this because I think I heard it had Sanderson and Rothfuss in it, which would peak my interest even w/o JB, and I think I also heard there would be some other panelists that would be icing on the cake.

I for one am especially sad I wasn't at SDCC; Sanderson, Rothfuss, Connolly, McGuire and Sniegoski are who I need to complete the signatures on my e-reader, to be known as URBAN FANTASY BATTLEDROME - ALL AUTHORS ENTER, NONE LEAVE!
-
Were Sanderson and Rothfuss there this year?
I went to Jim's Playing God panel in... 2008? That was a really good panel.
I skipped the panels yesterday. Couldn't take another line.

I was really hopeful that some nice JB Fan would record the SDCC July 21,2011 panel and post it on YouTube.
>:(
And please, please, please someone video the Penguin panel.
-
Were Sanderson and Rothfuss there this year?
I went to Jim's Playing God panel in... 2008? That was a really good panel.
I skipped the panels yesterday. Couldn't take another line.
Yes, and there's a picture of Rothfuss snuggling with his copy of Ghost Story.

I know this has nothing to do with the San Diego event, but are there ever any similar events anywhere near Wisconsin? They look like so much fun, and I love to dress up in costume (have even been gathering stuff for next year...just in case JB is in the area again for another signing. ;D )
-
Probably nothing the size of SDCC, but there is a Geek.Kon going on in September in WI. Costumes, gaming, vendors and such at it as well.

Wow, that's only 1/2 hour away from me, that's too cool, thank you, MX! would I be able to re-use my TDF costume up there?
-
I don't see why not. I'm sure there will be costumes harder to figure out than a character from a best-selling author. If it is Susan, then a reporter ID would be something simple to make up and show, if you don't already have it :)
-
*snickers* The one I made up, actually, is one from Grave Peril and well..that could come from a movie that just came out recently, or from the book Grave Peril, or heck, from a childrens book, so it actually hits several genre's. I guess I'd be all set, right?

Apparently, Pat is talking to Jim about Jim's plot choice at the end of Changes: "Great big balls of bronze!" :D

Things I did, in addition to hanging with Jim Butcher for the majority of the con:
Lunch with Seanan McGuire (twice)
Dinner with Jim Butcher, Pat Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, Chris Paolini, and his sister one evening (*screamflail*), then dinner with Seanan another evening.
Chillage with Amber Benson, Christopher Moore, Ian Corson, Anton Strout, Seanan McGuire, Peter Orullian, Kevin Hearne, Ernest Cline, and Penguin Editors of Extreme Awesomeness Anne Sowards, Jess Wade, and Erica Dunnoherlastname.
Drinks with Seanan McGuire, Rachel Caine (who IDENTIFIED me--Me: It's such a treat to meet you! I'm Priscilla. Rachel Caine: *delighted* Priscilla Spencer? Me: *squeakthud*), Anton Strout, Drunk Amber Benson, Pat Rothfuss (who kept giving Amber Malibu Rum and pineapple), Lev Grossman, and George R. R. Freaking Martin!
(I only spent like three minutes with George R. R. Martin, but he laughed at a joke I made! And he signed a bear and a tag for Books for Boobs! GREAT GUY.)
I was also ten feet away from Matt Smith at one point and passed Wil Wheaton on the street. And I hurt my wrist playing Wii Bowling with Seanan.
And I'm probably forgetting stuff.
In short, I won Comic Con. How is this my life?
-
I'm soooo jealous...I never meet anyone, well but local celebs... but hey, I'm still jealous ;D OH, btw I did order a tee from there, the "I'm not staring at you, I'm studying my prey" shirt, I couldn't decide so I got that one...it's the one that made me laugh the hardest *grins*
I want your life, Priscellie...care to change for a .......heck even 10 minutes? :D

Well, after the Jim-Butcher-and-Cam-Banks-holding-your-schwag-so-Nathan-Freakin'-Fillion-can-take-a-pic-with-YOU episode from two years ago, I didn't think you could top it. I should've known better. :D
-
Definitely cooler than my Con, in which I mostly stood in line for things.

I bring you Patrick Rothfuss Riding a Mechanical Bull at Comic Con 2011 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH9eZgAWzJ4)
Edit: Also from Comic Con: Patrick Rothfuss reads one of his humor columns from his college days. This is the story of the guinea pigs. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tx32jl2KIc)
Holding in the laughter at my desk is making my eyes water

Some of my CC Favs:
Picking up Ghost Story on preview night, Getting Jim to Sign Ghost Story, Giving Jim the $20 I promised from last year, Seeing Jim Laugh at Karen's Comment on the differences between Sgts and Lts, Seeing Jim's (Epic) Panel, Seeing Stan Lee, Getting Stan to sign, Having Emily (Cousin) for a day, Family Guy + Panels. Was lucky enough to get to see at comic con
http://www.robertpicardo.net/holodoc/holodoc.html
Most people I met in SD and at CC are nice and friendly
XMAN Panel
Not so CC FAVs
I was most disappointed that Comic Con / Penguin did not have enough Jim Events, but it was great to see my favorite author ;D
The 9 hour drive to and from CC / Bay Area
Standing in line for hours and hours
High prices for mostly bad food
Will post some photos / videos after I get back from FLA next week.

YAY, THE BULL VIDEO IS PUBLIC! The Suvudu guy showed it to Jim and me on his phone. I'm so glad Pat okayed sharing it with the world. :D
And dear god, that guinea pig story had me laughing so hard I was CRYING. W00tstock was freaking exemplary this year. I hope they invite Pat back.

Ok, glad I'm not the only one.
-
That is just great, I loved the bull riding vid, he seems like a real down to earth guy! Thanks Pris!
-
Back to the ol' grindstone, but I did catch the bullriding vid (heh heh) a few minutes ago and thought "Hey, didn't I just see that guy?" I remembered him from the panel just prior to Jim's in 6A. Pat was hi-larious, and he seemed to intimidated the beardless authors that were with him (with the beard, of course). Does his sense of humor leak into his books? If so I just might have to check them out.
Had a great time at SDCC, though this year was very different than my first (2009). Saw a lot of different panels, and experienced a lot of surprises too. Got to talk briefly with Jim just prior to his signing up in the Sails Pavilion, and got him to sign my copy of Storm Front, meaning my life is now (closer to) complete. ;D
Twas good meeting you Priscilla, and catching a few folks here and there who recognized my cosplay (in the frigging line for JB - nowhere else...lol).

That had me laughing my ass off too. And then in intermission, Pat jumped off the stage, and walked back into the crowd to say hi to everyone on the way out.
Other highlights from this year: Seeing Peter Dinklage walk by in line while in line to the Nerdist podcast live. The Podcast itself was a highlight, as Wil Wheaton and Mike Phirman was there, and it was almost a mini-w00tstock on that right. Then Matt Smith and Karen Gillan showed up at the podcast and talked Dr Who. At the end, they served the audience fish burritos. (sans custard)
On Saturday Beth and I stopped by the Penguin Booth and got to Meet Pricsellie and Anne Sowards, and while were there Seanan McGuire and Jim showed up, and we hung out a talked for about 10 minutes. I also attended the Kim Harrison Panel and won a copy of the new Graphic novel for asking a question. The Game of Thrones panel was awesome and I now officially have a man-crush on Jason Momoa. I'm sure I am forgetting so much stuff right now, just tired from the long trip back.
Already looking forward to next year.

The only beardless author on the Epic Fantasy panel was Chris Paolini! Well, and K.J. Taylor, but she is a lady. :D Chris said he had beard envy.
-
It was super nice meeting you at SDCC, Priscellie. Glad you like the Molly I gave you and I hope you enjoy the book.
I'm super glad I got my book signed. Now I just got to get the other on signed at the New York one. I'll see you there.

Properly bearded = passport to awesome. They just won't let me travel there.

Thank you so much for the book and for my Molly! I'm delighted that I'll be seeing you again in NY.

Well I've no plans to share my horrid recording of the event. Most of the time, you can't make out what's being said & it'd be a waste of effort trying to get it on-line.
Questions I could make out: (Paraphrased)
What's it like to work with a collaborator (between novel & comic)?
Views on electronic readers?
How do you translate written humor into visual (from novel to comic)?
The responses are mostly garbled & I'll have to listen a few times before I make any sense of it. Plus, I might need to track down some audio of Jim Butcher talking, since it wasn't like they announced themselves before speaking.
All-in-all, the forum was very much on-topic & did not stray from the panel discussion point of Books vs. Graphic Novels and Comics.
I missed out entirely on the Penguin books panel. Mostly because I was about to pass out & wanted to catch the Batman Year 1, first showing. Rather than the encore event.
Still, if somebody was there, maybe they could confirm or deny if Butcher was a surprise guest. He wasn't on the docket, but Conan showed up at the animated Green Lantern panel, so I've no clue.
And aside from showing a animated clip of the Flaming C in action, I've no idea why Conan was at that particular panel.

Jim was not at the Penguin Panel, it was just Anne, and another editor and marketing person from Penguin whose names I forget now. They did give away two copies of Ghost Story though.

No big loss then, since I already had gotten mine by that point.
