Just added to Friday's MAD Magazine panel at the Comic-Con International: Current "Spy Vs. Spy" artist Peter Kuper. Oughta be even more fun.
We have a load of convention tips over here but here's one more: The parking spaces at the convention center in San Diego tend to fill up rapidly. They have, however, a most-efficient shuttle bus network making the rounds of nearby hotels. You may be able to park at or near one of those hotels, hop on a shuttle bus and get to the convention that way. Just a thought.
And two more: If you want to get cash from the ATM at the convention center, you'd better get in line now. In other words, bring money. Don't count on being able to snag some there. Also, if you're in need of food or toiletries, there's a huge Ralph's Market about three blocks from the convention center.
I will be where I'll be, as per my convention schedule. If you're a devout follower of this website and want to say howdy, I'd be delighted to say howdy back.
