It's usually put on by NatGeo and the local Nerd Nite group together.

Never heard of it! Maybe but definitely never been! I've done my share of parties with sdcc but this one has eluded me.

Have you been before?

Never heard of NatGeo? Or Nerd Nite?  NatGeo, also known as National Geographic, is a pretty big organization focusing on sciences.  Nerd Nite is a bit smaller.  A bunch of groups around the world that put on little events in their local communities.  So when NatGeo comes to SDCC, they really buff up the Nerd Nite event beyond what they are usually like since they are usually quite small.

In the month leading up to SDCC, you should visit here often and also follow key people on Twitter.   I have the SDCC blog twitter account set up to send notifications on my phone.  If you are lucky enough, you'll see the announcement when it's made and be one of the first people to request a ticket.

Or, if you are even luckier and know someone who works at the National Geographic Channel, you can ask them for a favor and get put on the VIP list.  That's what I did last year.

I thought it wasn't as good last year, mostly because they decided not to cap RSVPs at all. It meant getting in was yet another endless line, and it felt like less of the people there cared about the science presentations and guests. :( We'll see how they do it this year.

Yeah the ticketing system last year wasn't good.  I didn't enjoy spending so much time in line.  But it was still an amazing party.  They just need to fix that ticket issue.
