We are now 49 days from the opening of this year's Comic-Con International in San Diego…and yes, unless we all come down with monkeypox, they're going to have one.
This is the time of year when I traditionally make my lame joke about how if you're going and you'll need a parking space, leave now. On a more serious note, I will tell you that if you're going and need lodging, book it now. This link may help. And if you don't, don't write or call me in late June to ask if I know of any available hotel rooms.
Also, don't ask if I can help you get a panel you want to do on the schedule. The schedule is almost set…and yes, I'll be hosting a passel of panels there. Again, we are assuming no monkeypox. It will be posted on the website two weeks before the con and I urge you, if you're attending, to study it and make a list of what you want to attend.
And while you're at it, you might also write down the things you'll try to get into if your first choices are full and also plan where you want to go in the hall and where you want to dine. A little advance planning can make your Comic-Con experience much, much better. You might also want to figure out where you're going to park if you don't leave now.
