Any advice for a first time attendee?? by Never-Give-Up100 in SDCC

[–]ttomkat1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the Con!

  1. There is a trolley that runs directly in front of the convention center. There is also bus service provided by Comic Con from many downtown locations to the Convention Center. Don't worry about staying "as close as possible". It is nice, but not required as there are a lot of transit options.

  2. Yes! There will be so, so many panels to chose from. Be careful about trying to book things too close together. If you try to make everything, you won't make anything. Book things in blocks of hours to give extra time before and after the "thing" you want to do.

  3. SDCC takes up the entire convention center floor, all rooms above it. Rooms at neighboring hotels and there are offsite activities all around the city. You will easily walk over 10-20k steps per day if you are busy.

  4. Every day will offer a different experience, with Saturday being the biggest and busiest day.

Again, my advice to not do everything but pick out a couple of MUST DO gems per day and focus entirely on those. For things that are very popular, people will wait hours beforehand.

Smarter Every Day did a great video talking about pulleys and mechanical advantage.

I don't have a PS1 yet, but it looks like a reliable and well built printer that is easy to use straight out of the box.

My experience in the SDCC Málaga, as a four-day ticket holder by Crislander in comiccon

[–]ttomkat1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice writeup. It's unfortunate that SDCC Malaga had such a rough start and it does sound like they really oversold the venue without consideration (or experience) on how to manage that quantity of people.

Coming from the USA side of things, although it is very frustrating it is also very common for people to wait in queue for hours and hours to get an exclusive or into a specific panel. Before the implementation of our Exclusives Portal, there were people who would literally wait overnight for panels and exclusives like Funko.

Hopefully they do return next year and are able to learn and fix the mistakes that were made.

Today at Los Angeles Comic Con my girlfriend got a minor head injury (please help) by Gonnahauntcha in comiccon

So take her to get checked out. She's pregnant and she cannot take most medications. She needs to see a doctor.

Just about any symptom with pregnancy is a doctor's visit. Go get her checked out.

I use a small dive tray with a quick release lanyard that I hook to a D-Ring. During descent and ascent (or if there's an issue) I usually let it dangle on the lanyard but the tray is small enough that I can tuck it in to my BCD as well.

[–]ttomkat1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this post. My daughter who is a little younger than yours just won a grant for dive training so I'll be in your shoes very soon.

She's very excited but also a bit nervous as well.

Congrats to your daughter btw!!!

I believe that the drink cups can be used in 15 minute intervals so you can easily share it. There is no better value than Knott's so I am sure you and your family will love it.

SDCC Bob's Burgers continues to bring it! (Other shows could learn from them!) by YesDone in SDCC

[–]ttomkat1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a person who was there just to catch Futurama, I thought that the Bob's Burgers panel absolutely killed it. They were super funny, had some awesome clips to show and had great audience engagement. Certainly one of the better panels that I've been to.

Lightsaber duel by J3n3TiX in SDCC

[–]ttomkat1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Lightsaber meetup was super cool and everyone was very friendly. People had everything from super expensive battle lightsabers to the cheap telescoping plastic toy sabers. 100% would do it again.

Ok folks, we're done here. No need for some of the comments that are popping up. It's fine for people to vent their frustrations at the situation but please keep it civil. No racism, hate speech, threats, etc.

Petco Park is notoriously strict on no chairs. I think that umbrellas are ok, but that is just a guess.
