A little Comic-Con 2004 recap from SignOnSanDiego.
Also something I noticed: The median home price out there is $580,000. Oh well, I guess I won’t be moving out there any time soon.

Only one more week to San Diego!
San Diego
I just noticed that Mile High Comics has a bunch of pictures from San Diego up on their web site, including a nice picture of the mile-long line to get in on Saturday. (Always buy advance tickets, unless you like waiting in line for many hours!) I’ve been looking around for a reliable total attendance figure for Comic-Con this year, but I haven’t found one. I heard 65,000 from one guy, but that was probably just a guess. CBR says maybe 70 to 80,000. (More here.)
For comparison, SIGGRAPH 2003, also in San Diego, had about 27,000, according to SignOnSanDiego. And the big Phish shindig in Maine last week, at Loring Air Force Base, hit around 60,000, according to the NY Times.
Oh, and hey, you wanna buy about 10 hours of Phish for $30? Click here. Downloading it all would be a hassle, of course.

One week until ComicCon!
I’ve just been looking at the programming schedule. Lots of goodness. One downer: the Fururama panel overlaps the Kevin Smith talk, so I guess I’m going to have to choose one over the other.

This guy has a nice page up on the San Diego Comic Con.

I just made all my reservations for ComicCon 2003. I can’t wait!
Travel
Urk. Got back from San Diego Monday night. Now, I’m off to Toronto at 7:15am tomorrow. Nothing I like more than setting my alarm clock for 4am. San Diego was great, by the way.
Off to San Diego
Off to San Diego tomorrow! Yay! I just took a look at the Thursday and Friday schedules on the website, and my head almost exploded. It looks like there’s just way too much stuff going on this year.
This afternoon, I was thinking about taking my laptop with me, so I could get some work done in my spare time. Ha! That sure was a stupid idea.
