"Comic Con - July 20-23, 2006, San Diego, CA - SG1/SGA guests"

I'll be there Saturday! I'll probably be wearing my pirate!Elizabeth (PotC 2) costume, assuming I get it finished in time. If any of y'all see me at the panel, feel free to say hi! And I'm bringing along my big 300mm lens like I did last year.

300mm lens? Whoa!!! Please take lots of SGA/1 piccies and let those of us who can't attend what goes on. I honestly don't trust G4 to do much coverage on the Stargate aspect

And thanks to the mods for changing the title

Hmm, LA ain't that from San Diego. No wait, I digress. It took forever when we drove it, but this is one of those once-in-a-lifetime opporunities!

Oh, I'll take a ton! I had it along last year (it was the first time out for that camera!) and went photo-happy.

I will take pics! I've finished the blouse, almost finished the breeches, and almost finished the vest. This week I'll be making the boots and recovering the cheap hat I bought.

Absolutely! Those are a given anyways. I'm planning on getting to that room really early and jumping up seats after the panels before end. I'm not going to complain about seeing Ray Bradbury while I wait!

I woudln't sneeze at sitting through Ray Bradbury; it was his fiction that lured me into scifi. I picked up this massive boxed sets of his works in England decades ago (glad I did - nobody in the US had it!).

Oh, I'm certainly not sneezing at it - that's why I said I'm not complaining. He's a master of science fiction!

The Many Facets of Comic-Con

Four views show how dynamic a two-dimensional world can be.

By Alex Chun, Special to The Times
July 20, 2006

Since it began in a hotel basement in 1970, San Diego's annual Comic-Con International has grown into a multimedia behemoth, with giant booths featuring the latest offerings from New Line Cinema and Lucasfilm Ltd., and appearances by A-list directors and actors.

Raking in Free Stuff at Comic-Con

The manager of Golden Apple tells his secrets.

excerpt:

Parking can run as high as $25 a day. That ultra-rare issue of "Uncanny X-Men" could set you back $100 or more. And if you don't already have a hotel room, forget about finding a decent rate anywhere near San Diego. But despite the high costs associated with attending this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con International convention, there are some bargains to be found — specifically, free swag. Ryan Liebowitz, general manager of Los Angeles comic book mecca Golden Apple, gives a few handy pointers in getting the most stuff for the least money.
