I leave tomorrow morning for San Diego Comic-Con and I'm nowhere near done with everything I have to do. It's maddening yet exhilarating at the same time. Do not expect regular, if any, posts while I'm out there. I may try to shoot a couple of things up with pics. Best to just follow me on Twitter.
My schedule:
Tuesday: Arrive in the early afternoon. Check into hotel. Buy food, liquor. Go to In N Out w/ Cass. Meet up with hotel roomie Tony Lee. Party with Templesmith and company. Drink lots.
Wednesday: Preview night. Interview with Felicia Day. Drink lots.
Thursday: First official day. Podcaster's panel! EVERYONE ATTEND OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!!!
5:30-6:30 All-Stars of Comics Podcasting— Comics podcasting has grown from a novelty to a force within the industry, providing an outlet for reviews, interviews, news and general entertainment for comic book fans. Comic book podcasting veterans Jimmy Aquino (Comics News Insider), Charlito (Indie Spinner Rack), Brian "Pants" Christman (Comic Geek Speak), Bob Bretall (Comic Book Page—who will be giving away comics to the first 200 people to attend the panel), and Ron Richards (iFanboy) discuss the future of comics podcasting. You never know what may happen in podcasting, so be sure to come as some surprise guests may be appearing! Plus this is your chance to meet and talk to your favorite podcasters! Room 32ABLotsa parties. Hang with Emerson, Fuller, etc. Drink lots.
Friday: Interviews with Zoe Bell, Ed Brubaker, Olivia Munn, Blair Butler. Drink lots.
Saturday: Interviews with Tom Kenny, Jill Talley, Amber Benson. DJ Pope party. Drink lots.
Sunday: Last day of con. Dead Dog party. Drink lots.
Monday: Fly back to NYC. (I may try to push that back to Tuesday, though.)
I have a TON of other interviews lined up and am just awaiting confirmation. I've also recruited some help with covering panels and a possible interview or 2. A few of my San Fran friends (Melissa, Louise and Kim) agreed to cover some stuff. And former podcaster, Maria Bernal-Silva (Girls Gone Geek), has agreed to cover quite a few gaming and movie demos/panels/etc. She may conduct an interview or 2 as well! I will ply them all with drinks to show my gratitude.
As per usual, my pre-convention apology. If I don't see you or don't have time to hang out too long, please don't take it personally. I am probably hanging with some folks, interviewing, covering a panel, or running off somewhere. I play a lot of stuff by ear and never have too many set plans. I just go with the flow. Rest assured, I'll be at the Hyatt Bar at the end of each night. Look for me there. And for Pete's sake, buy me a drink!
