…and one week from this moment, a lot of us will be attending Preview Night. It's coming up fast on us.
I'm going to get around to answering a number of your questions in a day or so but one thing a lot of folks are writing me to ask is how to go about approaching celebs at the con. "Supposing I see one of my favorite writers walking the aisles. Is it okay to just go up to them and say hello?"
The answer's pretty simple: It depends. If you saw them wandering at the supermarket, would you approach them? It would depend on how busy they seemed, how engrossed, how much they appeared to be in a hurry. The same rules apply at the Comic-Con. If they're not rushing to get somewhere or engaged in a private conversation, say hello and take it from there. Most folks who are likely to be approached are fine with it as long as you're not pushy or inconsiderate…
…or unshowered. Several con attendees have written me to ask that I make a pitch here for hygiene and bathing and not clearing the aisles with your body odor. There it is.
Not much more to add. Here's this again…
Lastly for now: No one seems to be lobbying any longer for the Comic-Con International to relocate to Las Vegas. Just in case, however, I'd like to point out that the current forecast for opening day of the Comic-Con in San Diego calls for a high of 73°. The forecast for Las Vegas for the same day is 107°. Anyone still want to go to Sin City? I didn't think so.
