Unofficial San Diego International Comic Con

I've got a room reserved at the San Diego Mission Valley Hilton from the July 11th to the 15th, checking out on Monday the 16th and I'm looking for someone willing to split the cost with me in exchange for sharing it.  I've requested two beds and free breakfast for two is included with the room.  It's not within walking distance of the convention but there will be shuttles conveniently running between the hotel and the con.  

I would like to get the money for the room in cash the day of check in so I could use it for spending money for the week.  I would prefer no smoking and no drugs.  Other than that I can't think of any objections off the top of my head.  As long as you pay your share up front and are reasonably considerate as a roommate then there should be no problems.

Just found this community and have been reading through all the previous entries, and everything under the 'preview night' tag. This is my first SDCC ever, well; my first trip overseas ever (I'm an Aussie girl) and I have some quests about preview night:
- What time does Preview Night start / end?
- Is the main Convention Hall / Artist's Alley open during Preview Night? Or is it just panels and stuff?
- If you can get to the stalls, can you start buying exclusives on Preview Night?

We also don't have much info yet but here's a sneak peak of Mattel's SDCC exclusives.

Hi all!

I own a one woman custom costuming and clothing business, Pandora's Closet. I went to comic con for the first time last year and fell in love. As a costumer, of course I had to put together a couple of hall costumes. This year I'm bringing more people and more costumes! I love seeing all the different outfits. So if you find yourself in need of something spectacular to wear, but don't have the time or experience to make it yourself let me know. I have some openings on my commission calendar over the next month and would love to help you put together your outfit from the ground up!

Here is a great shot of my Steampunk Wonder Woman for last year:

I got an email for a survey from Comic Con. I am not posting the link that came with it just the info.

As a Comic-Con 2012 registered attendee you are receiving this email.

We hope you will agree to take a quick survey (8 questions) that could help us
better serve you in terms of future registration. Below is a link to the survey
which will be conducted on our vendor's website at SurveyGizmo. The survey will
be open until midnight Friday, May 25, 2012 Pacific Time (PT)

Please do NOT forward this link. If you do, other people will overwrite your data.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated help and for being an active part of Comic-Con International.

This I found interesting in the survey.

Comic-Con has decided to not offer onsite pre-registration for the 2013 show.

Instead, we plan to offer those who attend Comic-Con 2012 a special opportunity to purchase a 2013 badge after Comic-Con.

These are the questions

Strongly disagree	Moderately disagree	Slightly disagree	Neutral	Slightly agree	Moderately agree	Strongly agree

I got this in a email and I thought people should be aware.

Dear Comic-Con Attendees,

Before leaving any registration area please make sure that the name on the badge matches your identification.

Does anyone have any idea when Professional Registration for this year's Comic-Con will be happening? I'm getting nervous about how late it is. I have my hotel room already booked through Comic-Con, but if I don't get the Professional Pass I'm not going. And the last day to cancel my hotel room without a fee is tomorrow... this is worrying me.

Any advice?

Just noticed that the "New Member ID" button is live again so anyone who didn't register for a Member ID yet and is hoping to catch one of the post-refund resales, make your way to Member ID Registration and create one ASAP!

I'm trying to book my flights into San Diego, but everything is very, very expensive. I was eyeing flying into LA instead, but renting a car for one person to get down to SD is expensive.

Is anyone else thinking about flying into LA, who would like to share a ride? Or, is anyone planning to drive down from LA or Places Further North, who would like some gas money and geeky companionship in exchange for picking me up from the airport on Wednesday?
