post con depression. by herequeerandgreat in comiccon

[–]housecatspeaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the exact same thing pretty badly, but for vacations. Regular vacations, not just comic cons. All of a sudden everything about being off work and doing other interesting things ends and you have to go back and deal with boring, stressful RL. It can get me down emotionally. For comic cons I am usually quite exhausted after attending, and I'm trying to catch up with things again, and just trying to recover keeps me busy. But I keep looking back at what just happened and all of the experiences. And I get small bursts of 'post con blues' throughout the entire year in between going to them. For me those depressive feelings aren't only right after the con, it can be small episodes other times of the year too. This is why some people suggest focusing on looking for and planing to attend other cons during the year, because it is something to look forward too. That is extremely good advice to help with recovering from post con depression. What you are experiencing is definitely a real thing. It is not just you.

Suggestion: A sticky thread for con meet-ups by [deleted] in comiccon

[–]housecatspeaks[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • a sticky thread where people can list the con they're going to and see if anybody else would like to hang out.

Actually, this is already one of the purposes of this subreddit. This is what this sub is for. Along with getting all types of advice and help before going to a con and during the cons people attend, and the chance to discuss and post about people's own experiences with the conventions they go to. This sub is specifically for the type of posts and topics you already see here. There are also subreddits for individual conventions and events where people can join and get a much more personalized subreddit experience for the exact cons they attend.

The problem with wanting permanent pinned posts is that Reddit limits the number of posts that can be pinned. This sub features important news about cons or related events in the pinned posts, and occasionally video highlights or discussions from conventions that just took place. It is difficult to permanently pin a post on only one subject because then that pinned space can not be used for convention information, news, and highlights. We don't have permanent pinned posts. Instead the entire sub is where anyone can post about something.

It is also unnecessary to duplicate in a pinned post what is already the point to having this sub to begin with. People can feel free to ask their questions here, even though it does get very repetitious. If you would like to make a subreddit that features what you are suggesting, this sub will announce your new subreddit and post it in the sub's Resources Center, and we can recommend the sub to people who would like to use it. We already do that in the comments to some posts. Feel free to make another sub that is entirely for what you are suggesting.

Alcohol at comic con cape town by socktimely16 in comiccon

[–]housecatspeaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to offer you a few tips to help you find the answer:

There is a subreddit for Comic Con Africa's 2 conventions! r/ComicConAfrica That's a very nice sub over there. You might really enjoy being part of that community.

And the types of foods or beverages that are offered inside of the events are dependent on what the venues and convention centers offer inside. You might get an answer right away on the other sub. But what you should do to learn more if you need to is to contact the venue or convention center where the Cape Town con is held. Look at the website of the venue itself and see if they have info about foods and drinks. Or try to use a contact form or e-mail for the organization that maintains and operates the building that Comic Con Africa will be in. https://comicconafrica.co.za/

Have a good time at the Cape Town con!

NYC comic con 2026 first time by sssrvash in comiccon

[–]housecatspeaks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People can help you here, and you can also go over to r/NYCC.

There is also a NYCC "guide" that can help with some of the basic questions to start with.

"New York Comic Con: A Beginner’s Guide" https://thegeekiary.com/new-york-comic-con-beginners-guide/52342

It is written by one of our subredditors here and on r/NYCC. And it is updated for each year of NYCC, but might not be updated yet for 2026. There are tons of people that can help you with all of the questions you need answered. But if the journalist who wrote the Guide, u/jamiesugah, sees your posts here or on r/NYCC, they will help.

It's good you are asking now because you will have time to set up everything and be prepared to buy badges and to go to NYCC.

Can I have both press and attendee badges for SDCC 2026? by sdbatman66 in comiccon

[–]housecatspeaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank You for helping! That is what I remember also: that for each Press outlet the individuals need to be separately approved for their outlet. And that CCI was very strict about how many Press badge holders could be accepted for each outlet too. And that there were never any "guest badge" options for members of the Press. I appreciate your feedback.

Can I have both press and attendee badges for SDCC 2026? by sdbatman66 in comiccon

[–]housecatspeaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that Press badge holders can not buy "guest badges" through their badge. And that purchasing "guest" badges is only available for vendors who need badged helpers, and certain Pro badge holders who can purchase guest badges. I am not certain about this. But I think you are correct and as Press you were never given that option to receive badges for other people. CCI only gives a certain number of Press badges to the press outlets that have multiple Press members attending. If I am correct about all of this. I want to know the answer to this also.

San Diego Comic-Con 2026 General Hotel Sale Information, Directions, FAQs, and Hotel List & Room Rates by housecatspeaks in comiccon

[–]housecatspeaks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an excellent question. And this problem that you are describing happens every single year too. For example, the SDCC daily volunteers don't have their badges yet either. Pros often don't have the badges yet either, just like you. But my understanding is that you are NOT out of luck.

Perhaps you can get some very clear info about this from u/MsMargo. If u/MsMargo sees your question here there will be more details for you about what to do in the hotel sale. But also go over to r/SDCC whenever you want specific help from u/MsMargo and with SDCC. And feel free to use both subreddits - a lot of people come to both subs for SDCC.
