I missed it.  Email locked up on my phone so I didn't see it until now.  It's sold out.  Hopefully I get in next month.

I saw it but didn't sign up. To be honest 9:30am is a little early for me to commit to. Given the history of attendance at ccm events, if i decided to go i'll try for stand-by at the door.
i've got a couple of friends thinking of trying for the friday night stand by for Picard. I said i'd join them if they decide to go.

Lucky. Did you sign up or do standby? Picard thread? Was it the same costumes and props they had at the offsite during Con?

Comic-Con Museum is one step closer to exhibits and programming with new curator hire

The Comic-Con Museum has hired a new curator to lead the attraction’s development, filling the role with a longtime leader of Comic-Con International: Gary Sassaman.

Sassaman has been with Comic-Con for the past two decades, directing the programming of the event, and later, heading up the event’s media. Now, he’s serving as curatorial director of the museum, which is set to open in mid-2021.

The role is a new one for the museum. Previously, the organization was led by executive director Adam Smith, who exited the job in October for a museum gig in Wichita, Kansas. The organization characterized Smith’s leaving as the end of “phase one” museum planning. Now, the museum is entering “phase two.”

Comic-Con International declined to make Sassaman available for an interview but provided details about his role through a spokesman.

“Adam’s role was to recruit talent to get the museum off the ground and to establish a master plan to make the museum a reality,” said David Glanzer, chief communications and strategy officer for Comic-Con International. “While we are currently focused on fundraising and implementing that plan, Gary will be able to focus on establishing exhibitions, programs, special events, family activities, educational experiences and so much more.”

Comic-Con was given control of the former San Diego Hall of Champions, a sports-themed exhibition hall, in March 2017 by the San Diego City Council. The 68,000-square-foot museum was to be used for San Diego’s most popular event, but also to highlight comic book art and history.

Smith organized Batman’s introduction into a Character Hall of Fame in July, just days before the official kickoff of Comic-Con 2019. The ticket-only event attracted famous comic artists and writers and was a major fundraiser for the museum.

Glanzer said the museum has no other finalized programming plans, but continued fundraising is a top priority for the team.

Sassaman, who’s spent the greater part of the last decade leading Comic-Con’s print and digital media, said storytelling is still a huge part of his role. He shared his thoughts in an email newsletter about the museum.

“I’m a storyteller, pure and simple. The Comic-Con Museum will reveal brand new worlds — or provide visits with fondly remembered old ones — on a daily basis, through exhibitions, programs, special events, fun family activities, and so much more, including a rich, ongoing educational experience for all attendees. We’ll be the focal point of a robust community of comics and pop culture fans in San Diego and from around the world, just as Comic-Con has been for the past 50 years.”

a couple of invites went out to charter members yesterday

Sense of Wonder: The Art of WonderCon Anaheim will have a special exhibit opening on Wednesday, February 19th at 6pm PST. As a Charter Member and early supporter of the Comic-Con Museum we’d like to provide you and a guest free admission to this event (General Admission will be $5). Charter Member tickets are limited, so act fast and RSVP

Quote
Please join us for our first ever Pop Culture Science event! As a Charter Member, we would like to offer you free, priority registration to our newest program brought to you by the Comic-Con Museum and the Fleet Science Center.

Come along as we explore the science behind everything we love about pop culture; from films, TV shows, comics, books, toys, and more. Join us on Friday, March 13, 2020 for a good Friday the 13th scare as we watch Get Out. Before the movie, we will hear from Dr. Phillip Serrato, Professor of English and Comparative Literature at San Diego State University, as he uses Get Out to explain why some horror movies scare us so deeply, why some people seek out horror films and how horror films offer audiences new types of knowledge that can prove disturbing or downright scary.
 
Get Out is rated R. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian. Contains some violence, bloody images, and language including sexual references.

Gosh, I am so envious of charter members who are close enough to take part in all of these events. Looking forward to some good stuff maybe early in the SDCC week or during the con that I can attend!
It is 2024, and I am still asking...where's my flyin' car??!! @fannishmarcia

I haven't gotten email about this. It's been up on eventbrite and says it's free for charter members and $5 for general admission. Since it mentions a promo code I take it that charter members should have gotten an email with a promo code. Did people get an email about this?
