No problem! And yes, 10 AM PDT (or whatever time California is on) it looks like.

It looks like a straight shot from the convention center (it's literally about a 3 mile straight line): 12 minutes by car, about 40 by bus and about an hour walking are the estimates I'm getting from Google Maps.

I think I found the Ticketmaster link:

Just to clarify, I think you're confusing Balboa Theater with some place in Balboa Park? As Jim Watari pointed out, the Balboa Theater is on the northeast corner of Horton Plaza at 4th and E so it's just a little over half a mile from the Convention Center.  Even with all the people and cars and sore SDCC feet, it shouldn't take most folks more than 20-30 minutes to shuffle up there or, you could just take one of the SDCC shuttles to the Westin @ Horton Plaza and walk 4-5 minutes to the theater.

I thought it was pretty close, I mean I've walked to Horton Plaza from Manchester Grand Hyatt and it did not take that long, thanks for the update!!!

Thank you!! :) I went originally on ticketmaster directly and it said it was sold out. Then I went through the Balboa Theater website and it worked.

How far in advance do you think guests will be announced?  (Or at least rumored with some likeliness?)  I managed to snag a good seat, but with so much else going on, if the guest doesn't interest me I may pass.  Last year I went to a comedy show Thursday night and it just killed me -- I did not have the energy after a day at the convention.  Nerdist, though, is tempting -- I had a great time at the Matt Smith/Karen Gillan Nerdist in 2011(?).

I really don't remember last year, I gave my 2011 tickets away because I was not caught up on the show. Here's hoping it will be Who related  ::)

I'd absolutely love to go - I just can't afford this year. Very tight budget for SDCC2013...

Last year, they announced John Barrowman as the guest about two weeks beforehand.
