Hi Mathieu! I took enough French that I *think* I'm mentally pronouncing your name correctly. Great to see you here! As Zero said, we will be organizing forum meetups at the con again this year, so be sure to attend one or two (or a few) and meet up with some of us!
Ooh, there's more than 1 forum meetup?
Yes. last year there were 4 or 5, IIRC.ETA I was wrong! There were 6.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Welcome to the forums, Mathieu! It's great to see that you decided to join the dark side, I mean, the forum community! ^__~ I wish you the best of luck for Preview Night. (>__< We all know it's guaranteed to sell out fast.)Keep an eye out for the forum meet-up threads in the next upcoming months. They're definitely good ways to meet a few line buddies, and some people may even turn out to be life-long friends.
Hi, My name's Sarah and I live in Belgium. Last february a friend and I decided to go to SDCC so we booked a flight. Then we tried to find a hotel and were surprised there were almost none available. We ended up in one on Shelter Island. (Luckily there were shuttle busses). We had no idea getting badges was so difficult and of course we didn't get any. We still went and had a great time at NerdHQ, the offsite stuff and just visiting San Diego. (And then we went to New York as well)This year I've decided I'll only go if I get a badge. I've joined a group so hopefully that will help my luck. There's a big chance I'll be traveling alone so I'm still looking for people to travel with and/or share a hotel with (and do more touristy stuff in San Diego. As awesome as it is I don't want to go all that way and spend it all in a convention center)
Hello Sarah, welcome!I attended SDCC for the first time last year by myself and I had a great time! I flew in and out alone, and spent most of my time both at the con and around San Diego by myself. Don't be afraid to go solo!I did share a hotel room with someone (which I recommend doing because rooms get spendy fast), and I found them here on the forum in the room sharing thread we had last year, so I agree with the others that it's definitely a good option for you. Good luck in the badge sale!
I just don't think it will be as much fun if I don't have someone I (kinda) know with me. And I know it's weird but it's always nice to have someone with you who speaks the same language (and my English is obviously fine). But I'll definitely check the hotel thread. Must wait 24 hours first.
I wish you much luck tomorrow! Did you join any of the buying groups? They opened a last minute one last night. It will increase your chances!
I did join a group. Thanks
Hi all!My name is Melissa and this will be my first time at SDCC! Loved comics all my life, but never had the chance to do this.... raising 3 kids gets pricey. Kids all grown and on their own now, but my oldest caught the bug from me. We did a small con here on the east coast this past summer and decided that we needed to register for the big dance. We were lucky to get tickets and San Diego here we come!!!
