I wonder if prices are just getting too high for some of these companies/off-site events. During Leonards video chat, Jennifer who does the Zombie Walk said places were quoting $90K just for a night for a party.

I actually have no basis for determining whether or not that is a reasonable sum for a corporate entity, but I agree, it does shut out fan groups!

Either way I'm glad it'll be happening. I didn't manage to make it last year and hope to this year! Thanks for the info.

Comic-Con month here at long, long last! :D

Really glad it's on a Thursday/Friday this year! Completely missed out last year because there was so much other stuff going on. Should definitely be able to get down there on Thursday.

I'm pretty disappointed it's only going to be 2 days. We spent the majority of our time there last year!

For $90k that better include an open bar.

I don't think it was open bar, but I could be wrong.

Do you remember which days they were set up last year? Was it all four?

Sounds awesome but...is it mega crowded, esp. since it's open to the public? Are there long lines to do everything (e.g. play game demos)? What's the likelihood of actually getting to meet Felicia Day?

Last year it was crowded during high profile events, but you could get in. Autograph lines were long, but you were able to see Felicia and Wil from much closer than in a panel room.

When Wil and Felicia weren't around, it was easy to get in and grab some swag.
