SDCC 2014

[Darth Madden]

I saw they are going to have a "replay room" where they will show all the panels form Hall H and Room 20... they won't show any video clips but will show all the panel discussion and on stage stuff. That might be a good option for me.

For the first time ever, I might join the usual suspects for camping out Friday night as well!! [emoji15][emoji12][emoji1]

Wear jeans, bring warm hoodie, and a light blanket. Something also to lay on to keep the dew of the grass from seeping into you as you try to get a bit of shut eye.

Sam - please read PM

 

[Entropy]

wow, Thursday and Sunday are the weakest days of programming I seen in years at SDCC. At least the other 2 are awesome.

 

[The Josh]

I don't think Thursday is weak but I agree there isn't a whole lot going on Sunday.

 

[Entropy]

You only say that because Thursday's the day of the TORn panel.

That's the best panel of the day. The movie stuff in Hall H has some interesting stuff though.

 

[GrueSam]

Only Intersteller interests me and you know they're not going to show much more than a teaser tr.
I don't see anything in Hall H on Thursday that worth waiting in a long line for.

Ballroom 20 has Community, Hannibal and Penny Dreadful but I'm not sure I want to sit through a line + 5 hours of programming I'm not interested in to see those.

 

[GrueSam]

Yeah, me neither.
But that's okay- I can cruise the Con floor for a bit on and then rest up for what's gonna be a tough Thurs night thru Sat night blast.

If you are planning on going into Hall H this year, you'd better read this.

[The Josh]

Yeah, I saw. This just makes it somewhat a larger pain in the ass.

I like it. It will keep all of the line cutters that hop in at the last minute from doing so. The main difference is that your whole party has to be there initially to get the bands.

The problem we'll have is that we plan on bringing our 8 year old Son on Saturday, and he won't be with us on Friday. I was planning on waiting there overnight Fri/Sat and they would come around 7am and meet me. My Wife will be with me, so no problem to get two bands.

vader lsf!!!!

 

[Darth Madden]

Good thing I'm not trying for Hall H anyway. Good Luck everyone.

It will help with that but it can cause other issues. The question becomes what time will they start handing out bands for the next day. We know the first round cutoff is 1am and I still think if I'm there around midnight that should be ok.

From what I have heard so far, typically toward the end of one day, they will start a 2nd line for the next day. When that starts, there will be someone handing out wristbands. They'll continue to do that till 1am and then start again at 5am. So the forming of the line for the next day will be done the same way it's always been done, just that now they'll be handing out bands when they do it, and continuously except between 1-5am.
