[Groop] Gak! San Diego Scheduling

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!
