<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Help!</DIV>
