Got my Wired confirmation as well! I wonder if they'll do anything special for the 10 year anniversary?Omg EW party is my holy grail as well! I actually accidentally just walked in one year (2010?). I was talking and walking and fangirling with Alexander Skarsgard and I wasn't paying attention to where we were going. We parted ways, I looked up and BAM, I was in the party. I was super lame and freaked out because I didn't know anybody and left before I even got to really check it out.A few years ago we were staying at the Hard Rock and decided to try and sneak in to EW. We made it past 3 out of the 4 checkpoints before we were booted haha! It was a weird year where they shut the party down early. Apparently James McAvoy was sloppy drunk and fell and hurt himself.
*takes notes* "How to get into EW party: walk in with a celebrity and act like you are with them"
OMG you guys I get to go drink with Aisha Tyler on Saturday! But I'm sorta freaked out because I have plans to be in Hall H most of the day. Anyone else going to it that has an idea WHEN it is? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I was also chosen! My only guess is evening since it is cocktails.
There was a link to an RSVP page for the 2016 EW party I found just a month ago (via blog post):You are not allowed to view links.

Does industry mean being part of an agency or company that does business with them?
Do you remember what the checkpoints involved or if you have an email of who's in charge of the EW party? I've asked everyone at work but all they know is either they're not going to SDCC or they have to FILM the party so they're working and I don't have a press pass so I don't think I can just saunter in even tho I work for them
There's no party recap thread, so I thought I'd post here.Overall, I think I applied for too many parties because I ended up not doing a few. I have a friend with whom we like to have some quiet dinners and I still wanted to do those.Wired Cafe: Because it is flexible when you can go and how long to stay, I did go all three days for about an hour each time. Two times, I had to get in a line. Once, I walked right in. I found the food to be a little skimpier this year. But, the booze was free-flowing. They also had a good brand selection on the booze. The whole thing promoted Mr. Mercedes, the new Audience show. I didn't have any sightings of celebrities I recognized.Buzzfeed/CW Party: This was at the Altitude Lounge on a hotel rooftop. When I got there (a little late), there was a line to get in because it was at capacity. It took about an hour to get up there. It was merely OK. It doesn't take much to get to capacity because the rooftop is small. Booze and food were decent and the view was spectacular. We could see the Viking funeral from far away. They had a game to play for prizes. Someone else one a Roku. But, I just got an iTunes gift certificate and a t-shirt. I didn't see any celebs I recognized.SYFY Fan Parties: Formerly known as NerdHQ. I went on Thursday and Saturday. Thursday was easier to get in. The line was so long on Saturday, I wasn't going to go in until I took a chance on asking at the VIP entrance. Turns out the person who invited me put me on a special list. It didn't get me upstairs to the special VIP area, but I got in the building. I honestly enjoyed the Syfy version of this more than the Nerd HQ version. Because of the lack of installations that Nerd HQ used to have, there was much more room for the party. The three free beers was a plus. I actually wanted a regular drink and was willing to pay for it and got one without much of a line. The prices were reasonable. They were handing out soft pretzels. The 80's band on Thursday was fantastic. The 90's band on Saturday were OK, though I like 80's better.Another thing I noticed less of was pushing and shoving on the dance floor. In previous years, there were a lot of Zac Levi fangirls jammed toward the front and any time Zac would come nearby, they'd push and shove to be the closest to him. I saw less of that. I didn't stay all night, but he came out less and I don't know if he came into the crowd at all. Definitely going to try to go to this if they have it next year.Nerd Nite w/ National Geographic: LOVED this party. I showed up early, but it didn't seem overbooked if I hadn't. Nice crowd. Music was "background" rather than so loud you couldn't talk. Met some other fans and we could actually talk to each. Good food and great open bar.There were two parties I didn't make it to and those were the Fandom Party and the Digital LA party. If anyone has a report on how they went, I'd be curious. Fandom overlapped with something else and dinner with my friend. I also wasn't confident I could even get in because I hadn't in 2016. So, I didn't make it. Digital LA was at the same time as Nerd Nite and I was enjoying that so much, I didn't want to leave.
