Re: SDCC 2018
Hotel lottery is next Wednesday. I didn't get an early bird so this is all or nothing ...

Re: SDCC 2018
So that was my first time relying on Hotelpocalypse ... whew.
I set up two PCs with two browsers each, another PC with one browser, two iPhones and an iPad. The PC with one browser was the only one I actually clicked on the email to reach the waiting room, and it got in first ... almost instantly. One of the iPhones was second at about 2 minutes and the rest started going off after 6 minutes. I used my info for the first one and registered friends with two others.
Now I have to wait until Monday to see where I wind up. The six hotels I picked were all the big ones right next to the convention center so we will see. I'm seriously sweating this in case I did something wrong.

Same question. Also, someone score me some passes. If you also let my wife and son come along I'm sure I can talk her in to cooking some biscuits and gravy for breakfast...Jace wrote:Can I sleep on your floor?depluto wrote:Got my first choice ... Marriott Marquis Marina.

Re: SDCC 2018
If anyone has an unused pass, I am looking for one for my wife. I think I am going to try to throw her into the deep end this year.

Re: SDCC 2018
Also, I managed to snag a random room at the Hyatt that was thrown back into the pool today. Finally, a good turn of events in this hotel madness!

I haven't heard anything either. Their website still has info from 2017. Hopefully it happens, and hopefully the Valiant Panel isn't directly after it!depluto wrote:Any word on that Heroes Brew Fest thing? I haven't heard a peep.

Re: SDCC 2018
Starting to get a little excited for this ...
![Applause :clap:](./images/smilies/893applaud-thumb.gif)
Wondering about the Valiant presence, though.

I was able to get badges for the first time this year but only for Thursday and Friday. I’ll be in town all week though.
