'A Cup O' Tea with... An Englishman In San Diego' (5th May 2014)

A weekly Google+ Hangout On Air with Leonard Sultana (An An Englishman In San Diego), talking all this weeks news about Comic-Con! Featuring special guests, lots of YOUR contributions and a playback of an interview with Jon Gjerset of ACE Parking, ahead of the Parking Sale on May 20th.

(Usually this Hangout takes place EVERY SUNDAY: this weeks has been postponed for one day - so it's today!)

Alyssa Franks will be joining us to talk about subjects raised on the Forum this week - so maybe I should start calling this 'A Cup O' Tea with AEISD and Friends Of CCI'...!!

We're getting prepared for today's Hangout - live 'on air' in just over an hour (0930pst/1230est/0530gmt). Don't forget, any questions you might have, or subjects you'd like us to cover, now's the time! Go to the Google+ Event page, hit the Q&A button in the video window (or leave a comment in the Event page) and ask away.

Was watching it at work but it stopped loading at 23.28 minutes, will have to watch later at home.

The first year that I bought parking permits online was in 2010. So this will be the 5th year that they've been selling permits online.

That sounds right. The first couple of times they just gave out sale info on the CCI Facebook page. No formal announcement.

 Yep, just like badge sales, parking used to be a 'soft opening'.

If nobody objects, I'm going to rename this thread generally as use it as a running update to the latest episodes of A Cup O' Tea, letting you know about the Event Pages so you can interact, forthcoming guests and topics under discussion. This last episode (Sun, 1st June) was a good one, I think, with some new faces adding fresh colour to the weekly lineup. Thanks to Alyssa, John (N3rd Link), Chris (The Nerd Fu), Tina (Red Hot Diva) and Mark Searby for taking part.

For those who aren't inclined to watching an hour or so of 'talking heads', there's going to be an audio version available, approx two hours after the main show ends. To give you an idea of what to expect, and if you haven't watched this weeks show, here it is:
