Hi All!<br>
<br>
Thanks for all the good advice on how to get to the Comic Con! I've now
registered me and my wife for the full 4 day pass (if you travel all
the way around the globe you might as well go for the largest ticket
right? :)). Anyhow, about hotel.. I didn't find any links through the
San Diego Comic Convention homepage, only a "coming soon" page. Anyone
know any hotel or two that are at least in the vicinity of the
convention that they could recommend? I haven't got the slightest clue
which to pick. Rather not the cheapest ones but not to expensive either
if possible.<br>
<br>
I'm really looking forward to this and I've been telling myself every
year that "this year I will go". Now this year I at least got around to
get some tickets so I hope nothing else gets in the way!<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>

Hey Magnus! <br>
<br>
That will be so cool for you to come to the Con! You will be the
furthest traveling Groopie since Greg came from New Zealand (or was it
Saudi Arabia?) <br>
<br>
I must echo Katie's advice. Get your "membership" (tickets) now!!!
And make your hotel reservation now too! Maybe they don't have the
rip-off prices in place yet. If they do, check the comic-con
international site for when they will start taking reservations at the
places they have reserved. You have to have fast typing or dialing
fingers. They are gone in about 45 minutes. <br>
<br>
Also, as Katie said, Sergio is easy to meet. So is Stan. Mark, you
pretty much have to meet on the go, but it can be done, especially if
you are a Groopie. Unfortunately, Tom may or may not be there,
depending on if he can avoid the rip off hotel prices. <br>
<br>
Oh, and at Quick Draw, there is usually a groop of seats roped off near
the front ostensibly reserved for the press or whoever, and we Groopies
can go sit there. (Cuz Mark said we could) <br>
<br>
As for Groop Gathering, we have arranged for a couple of nice ones in
the past, but sometimes they don't work out, mostly because there is so
much to do and most folks have a wide variety of things they want to
see and do, so it's hard to get everyone together at one time. But our
best bet is probably lunch at the Crab Shack (actual name?) behind the
convention hall. <br>
<br>
Anywho, hopefully we can arrange something. <br>
<br>
Take care,<br>
<br>
Gary G. <br>
