At least a hundred thousand people have been waiting to register for next year's Comic-Con International and the folks who run that fine institution have been working to make that happen. The first couple of attempts to open online registration crashed due to overload…and now they think they have a set-up that will work. They're going to start by giving it a limited test run.
This Wednesday, December 15, one thousand badges will go on sale at 8 AM Pacific Time…only one thousand. If you want to take a stab at getting one or two of those thousand, go read this page and don't wait 'til Wednesday to read it.
If you try and don't get in, don't get irate. It's only a small percentage of the passes that will be available. I have every confidence that the convention planners will solve the problem. They always seem to be able to solve problems, which is one of the many things that impresses me about that whole operation.
