Egads! It's 12 days until San Diego, I haven't seen a complete programming
guide, and I'm already in overload with all the stuff I want to see! Could
some of you San Diego veterans share your secrets on how to see everything in
just 4 1/2 days? I'm far from a convention newbie (this is probably my 6th
or 7th con), but from the sounds of things, you could probably fit all of
those cons in one speaker room at San Diego, and I'm just going nuts trying to
figure out how we'll ever see everything there that we want to see: panels,
vendors, The Groo Crew, whichever Groopiers as we can identify, Star
Wars...you get the idea. Usually at the smaller conventions, we run out of interesting
things to see way before the con ends and we end up cutting out early. But
here it seems like so much to see and not nearly enough time to see it, much
less use our usual con plan of going around a couple times to scope things
out, go back to the interesting booths, and do the major comic book buying on
Sunday.
My primary problem right now is: What do you do when two panels that you
REALLY want to see are scheduled for the same time? I was just reading the
Stargate SG-1 news (my absolute favorite TV show of all time, with apologies to
Garfield and Friends) and--horrors!--the Stargate full cast panel discussion
is scheduled for Saturday at 11:30, which simply will not work because last I
checked Quick Draw was scheduled for Saturday at noon, and there is no way
I'm missing Quick Draw. I have less than 2 weeks to figure out how to be in
two places at once!
I've never had this problem at any of the other conventions we've been to.
They've been a lot smaller, so the odds are they don't have two panels I want
to see on the same day, much less at the same time.
Help!
