Well, well, well, Look who we have here. It's been sometime, more like two years or so. Hope everyone is doing well and life is going somewhat decent for you. It's true what they say "strength in numbers always works." Those of you who were successful during Pre Reg, Congrats. Those of us who got the goose egg, I know your pain. Mrs Yzrfan and I are right there with you. Open Reg is coming up soon, and hopefully things will go better for all of us. Just think after the stress of Open Reg, we have the always fun Hotelpocalypse and parking presale hell. I'm speaking from experience, you can't do it alone and you need the help of your fellow nerds. You need to have each others backs during everything SDCC related, and in life. This is the first time in many many years the Yzrfamily doesn't have badges going into Open Reg, and its a crappy/scary feeling. We have ran into some of the new and old members at different cons while I was away, with the help of everyone's favorite Rando. To all you old timers, "Hello." For all the new members after my retirement, I'm the jacka@# who brought alittle humor and a-holeness to the forum. Oh and one more thing before I go, I'm voting "Bert Su for President 2016"
I just joined yesterday, didn't properly introduce myself.My name's Joanna, I've lived in IL all my life (though I have been thinking about moving to NY), I'm trying to be an actress (though it's tough where I am, hence the desire to move), I'm single and I'm into film/TV, video games, and cosplay. I had attended Wizard World in the late 2000s until I was a victim of the poor economy. Thankfully I'm back on my feet and am looking forward to attending C2E2 again and hopefully will be lucky to score SDCC this year.Hello!
Welcome back, Yzrfan! It's been a long while indeed! Remember me? (Bwuhahahahaha. ;p)Hello there, Joanna! Welcome to the forums! It's great to have you as a part of our online community. The more the merrier, I say.If you're interested in joining a general ("open") registration buying group, check out this thread here for more information:You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login (Freight's group is still open to new members.)There are also forum meet-ups being planned for Comic-Con. Right now, there are only a few being organized, but there are usually at least five or six different meet-ups by the time the convention rolls around: You are not allowed to view links.

Hi Joanna, great to see you here! You've certainly chosen an excellent time to get back into cons. Good luck with open registration!
Honestly, I've never heard of a buying group, does it work much of the time?
And we meet again Zero. Hope things have been well for you.
Work is work. You have good days and you have bad days. It's been very trying given the social/political/emotional climate we live in these days.
Hi peeps, think it's time for an introduction after a bit of lurking.I'm a kiwi based in NZ and planning on travelling to the states later this year with my fiance for a few weeks (yet to be determined how many, based on $ saving ability!). I was big into X-Men / Marvel comics in the 90's, and she is a big Buffy / Potter fan. Other stuff i have an appreciation for...Spawn, Stargate, Marvel / X-Men trading cards and all the Marvel movies For about the last year we've been watching a lot of YouTube cosplay vids from various conventions but neither of us have talent in that field so just have an appreciation for it. I've attended a few of our local cons (Armageddon) with the last being in 2014, but they're nowhere near the scale of the US cons.We have no firm plans but a big part of our upcoming trip was to make it to a US con and once we know what's happening regarding that, plan other things. SDCC is my big hope but i was totally unaware of how hard it is to get badges! So, we're coming to the realisation that maybe we'll have to settle for another con, but still going to give it a go for getting badges to SDCC. If we can't get in there (pretty likely!) then i'd hope to hit somewhere else that does it on a big scale....maybe NYCC. Thankfully nothing at all is booked yet, i've just made sure to have enough leave to book in a decent break around a con once we're locked in.That's about it for me i think.
