"Early Bird" hotel bookings are now open for Comic-Con International, which takes place a mere 176 days from today in San Diego. And there's a coincidence: 176 is the exact number of panels I'll be moderating there.
"Early Bird" hotel bookings are for hotels that aren't that close to the convention center but (a) they're usually cheaper, (b) all or most of them are on the shuttle line that will get you to the convention center and (c) they're available now. It's a few months until the stampede commences for the hotels closer to where the action is and you might find yourself wishing you'd booked one of those "Early Bird" opportunities.
