I'm over there. One of the other writers occasionally pops over (and wrote up those events), but I don't think any of the other writers come here.

Ooh, outed!!!  ;)

No clue. But then, I tend to be pretty lame at things like that.  ::)

Oh I recognize your name!!!! I always see it at the bottom section of your articles w/ your picture and mini bio. That's really amazing. I never thought I would "meet" an editor, let alone on FoCCI. I always check sdccblog for comic-con news/ updates. You guys are always quick with new info! Thanks for all the hard work.

I think it's great how we're all connecting online and sharing info. That just makes the quality of our information better, and gives people who put in the time to research and stay abreast of things the advantage. And most importantly, it expands the eyes and ears online. Think about how much information we have collected regarding badge sales, hotel lottery and waiting list, parking fiasco, etc. It's amazing, and so vital to an obsessive planner like me....  ;D

That's so cool! The blog is so fantastic for sdcc info, read it all the time. Between that and FOCCI, I feel like such an insider :)

I totally agree with TJ! During those "sale days" I am constantly switching between FoCCI and Sdccblog for info. And I learn so much like who to contact for problems, tips to be quicker,  and what is causing the issue. Also with the recent parking sale, I was able to snatch some passes because of the FoCCI members' constant vigilance of refreshing the site, even though ACE Parking had announced they were not selling until the next day.

And I think it sort of pushes these management companies to be more proactive in reaching out to the customers, since us nerds can now speculate and discuss these problems in different social media. We can email/ call/ tweet/ facebook/ and cause hashtags to trend, and these managing companies will have to respond quickly to clarify the problem.

The one thing we keep forgetting is the blood drive!! You don't have to be a badge holder in order to give blood AND you still get your swag bag!! Helpful hint, donate on Thursday or Friday if you want the swag. You will still get stuff on Sat and Sun, but usually not as much.

Donating is awesome IF you can.

They're taking appointments now for the blood drive--
