Month: January 2005

This article has a good write-up on the San Diego con hotel situation. Interesting quote: “The fact of the matter is that Comic-Con International is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, annual convention to hit San Diego.” No kidding. Attendance last year was counted at 87,000. There’s more hotel news here.

Today is the first day that Comic-Con hotel reservations can be made. I managed to snag a room in a decent hotel not too far from the convention center, but it wasn’t in my first, second, third, or fourth choice! It looks like there’s been a mad rush on hotel space for the con. I think anyone looking for a hotel room past the end of this week is probably going to be out of luck. (Either that, or there’s something wrong with the hotel reservation site, and they’re just not showing all the available rooms.)

On a related note, only a couple of more weeks until National Gorilla Suit Day.
