\n\"Comic-Con<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s back to Comic-Con<\/a> this week. I have no appearances, no obligations; I even sent the revisions of “Stranded<\/a>” to the editor before my departure, so it’s just a fun week soaking in the concentrated geekery of one hundred and fifty thousand of my spiritual friends. I don’t even know the schedule of the con yet; here’s to having fun.<\/p>\n

I do have to say it’s getting ridiculous in size, though. Hotel rooms aren’t quite as bad to come by as Dragon*Con<\/a> – which you need to order a year in advance, whereas Comic-Con opens up hotel rooms at more like six months – but the ticket procedure is crazy. If I wasn’t going as a professional, I wouldn’t be able to make it; I logged on as early as possible that morning and still failed to get a normal ticket<\/a>. I don’t know how other people do it, but clearly, one hundred and fifty thousand of them do.<\/p>\n

Still, the programming is great, the dealer’s room is awe-inspiring, and San Diego’s Gaslamp district is a wonderful place to hang out with friends for dinner (or even to retreat to with your laptop when inspiration strikes and the lines and crowds are getting a little too much to deal with in the Convention Center).<\/p>\n

Here’s hoping the Comic-Con team can find a way to continue to offer this wonderful event!<\/p>\n
