Flying out early Tuesday morning from JFK and should arrive Tuesday morning in San Diego. Assuming my room isn’t ready, plan on having brunch at cafe 222 or breakfast republic and just chilling.
-
I’m coming from Australia but will be travelling beforehand so I will be flying in from Seattle on Tuesday and will be arriving around lunch time
-
Leaving from JFK early Wednesday morning, arriving to San Diego around noon. Just in time to have some lunch and make a Ralph's run before preview night shenanigans begin!

if you're still looking for something to do tuesday afternoon, there's an informal social gathering of forum folk outside of the Hilton Bayfront in front of StarBucks. We have name tags so people can know who you are ;)
i actually am planing on arriving in early July- and staying for a couple of months.
-
The only disadvantage of having recently moved to Vermont is that there are NO direct flights to any place I need to go. (Well, that and ticks.) Leaving here early Tuesday morning, "enjoying" a long layover in Chicago, and arriving mid-afternoon--just in time for the Tuesday afternoon forum get-together.

I leave Honolulu at like 10pm on Monday night (after working all day), arrive in LA just before 8am, then take a quick commuter plane down to San Diego arriving just after 10am. I'll see a lot of you guys at the meet up that Tuesday but I'll be tired and gross since I won't have much time to decompress. I think I'll have like 3-4 hours to get picked up by my friend, drop my stuff at his place (I don't check into my hotel until Wednesday), and then head on over to the Hilton Bayfront. Should be fun!
-
I fly out of the Bay Area and since I have family in SD, I choose to come on early Tues or late Monday. I do have family things after Comic Con this year, so I may end up coming earlier (like Fri or Sat before).
-
I'm already here waiting! Ok, I live in SD, but I'll be coming down for Tuesday Meetup, going home then coming back Wed morning and staying in a hotel so I don't have to commute. Yippee!

I'm sorry. Nobody is coming.

Thanos can only get half of us! I expect 60,000 of my closest friends to arrive any minute for a panel that features just one of the Olsen twins.
Question: If they do a Hitchhiker’s Guide panel, will Xaphod only have one head?
Meanwhile, I will be hopping from one leg to the other, trying not to pee myself while sign waving people circle me with mega phones yelling at me that I deserve my punishment because I read evil pamphlets of men and women with big muscles and tights.
I am Groot (The end is nigh)!

Plan on being at the Tuesday meetup.
Also, I think we had discussed this previously (probably in a joke) but is anyone interested in a foodie night/steak dinner on Tuesday after the meetup?

it wasn't a joke when i started a thread- but i'm not going to be able to organize this--
nor did i make any reservations. Here is the thread about it- if someone else wants to take over the organizing https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?topic=8859.0
I am sorry about dropping out on this- my irl stuff is intense --- Hopefully it will be reduced by SDCC
-
I live right down the "figurative street" (Los Angeles). It's about a 2 hour drive. My wife and I usually arrive by Wednesday afternoon.
-
I'm getting in early Tuesday morning because I live in a landlocked state and want to enjoy the ocean for a day before the con.
-
flying in Wednesday afternoon, after i leave work at 7am and pack up! ^_^
-
Early Tuesday morning. My wife’s family lives in SD so we are going to do visit before the chaos starts. I also don’t want to miss the Tuesday Hangout in front of the Hilton.

My daughter will be arriving Tuesday morning from North Carolina, in case anyone else is coming from there. Since I’m within driving distance of SD I will arrive on Monday so I will have room for said daughter and her luggage ( no one suggest Uber, haven’t seen her in 8 months, lol)

I'm the heartless shrew who said, "Have her Uber it would be 10 bucks tops and she'd be there in 10 minutes!" and then I got the 'mom look' :D :D :D

It's a short commute for me from LA, so I'll be coming on the train with all the folks in fancy hats going to the Del Amo raceway on Wednesday!
-
Arriving sometime Sunday or Monday...still up in the air. Really like relaxing a day or so before the wonderful chaos begins!
-
I’m flying into LA and meeting my friend Chris (@loubert) on Monday. It’s our annual drive down the PCH to SDCC. We’ll get to town around 1:00 PM. I love being there for the calm before the storm and for the early meet ups on Tuesday and Wednesday.
-
Arriving Tuesday around 1. Hoping my room will be ready and then I'll maybe try to get a few hours in at the beach.
-
We arrive the week before. It's a family vacation + we have biz-related stuff/outings for our site we do before things get too busy.
-
Bright and early on Wednesday morning. I'm always paranoid that my flight is going to get delayed though :'(

Understandable after that one year when the airline(s) had a computer problem and flights were cancelled.
-
Monday afternoon. Need rest before the Con starts.
-
I’ll be driving down from Corona, so it’ll be a 2 hr drive on the 15 fwy for me, either coming in Tuesday or Wednesday depending on my roommate situation.

Flying in Tuesday night around 1130 PM. Last year flight was delayed for about 4 hours so hoping that doesn't happen again.
-
Taking the train down from Santa Barbara on Wednesday with enough time to lounge by the pool a bit before preview night. Calm before nerd storm 8)
-
Live like 30 mins or more from san diego, so it just a bus ride in to trolley depot for trolley to front of center or seaport village then gotta check in for job for day. then hang outside with everyone if i able get in early and get stuff sorted quick. so feel lucky not coming from so far so able to save any way possible.

I arrived July 1999 :P

I had my connecting flight get delayed by three hours once, so now I eat the extra cost to get a direct flight.

Monday at 3pm. Though half of my brain is there already.

For me, like last year i just gotta check in any day i wanna volunteer to have kinda free reign or roam around for the day. so i dont head down to con till like thurs early sometime. since pn is wed and not every does volunteer that day unless told by mail they do cause they off to do so if they can do at time. so i am guessing will check in to places they staying sometime before wed if got pn and rest days. but rest may just check in to places early to roam around days before con and check out attractions close by then be gearing up for days they able to go for the week. so guessing everyone be arriving at different times and all.

That's the end event dinner and the Preview Night breakfast. The Tuesday meetup is not limited.

Mel and Jess are probably the closest, but fairly busy so if you can hold if for a few days....or ask a hobo to hold your spot! They are pretty nice.

Guessing about Tuesday afternoon. We may be driving this year, though those Southwest fares are mighty tempting right now...

It’s the main reason I’m coming in early. I love the other meet-ups too. Each has its own thing to like. For the Tuesday meet-up, I like the chance to mingle freely and casually with the ability to come and go. I also like that it’s outside.

This! :) it's nice and relaxing, and allows for more time to talk and get to know people. Plus, I'm biased because that's where we first met you and Dan!

I'm tentatively booked for Tuesday arrival but i have a room for Monday night and the southwest costs between the two flights are the same. I'm kind of back and forth right now; I like being in early to relax and eat my way through the town but I also have to take an extra vacation day sooooo I'm kind of stuck in the middle right now.
