So here are the dates for next year - http://sdccblog.com/2017/07/its-official-we-have-san-diego-comic-con-2018-dates/

July 18-22. This will be the Legion's 60th Anniversary, Legion World's 15th Anniversary and the 10th Anniversary of this.

Please help us out-do the gathering from 2008. What would it take for you to come to San Diego next year (assume you have a badge)?

I've got several cool giveaways planned for next year. I'd love to see each and everyone here!

I was there in 2008! Oddly enough... but I had been inactive on the Board for awhile and I was a bit shy about being around Legionworld folks

Maybe pre-registration opened? General registration isn't ever until late February or early March.

Professional registration opened. I teach a class on comic books (and have written on them) so I qualified for pro-status

I'm defintely going to make an effort to go this year. I'm going to be employed by that time, so I'll be able to use my vacation days for it. smile

Trade Professional SDCC Badges registration is open. If that applies to you, please check it out!

We need to get as many of you out here as possible. If there's anything I can help with, please let me know.

We've got a lot of financial commitments (new kitchen coming, some small assistance to mr_cleome's dad) looming. But I've broached the subject of attending and he likes the idea. What I'd love to do is sightseeing in S.D., then drop into the con for a day to see everyone. I'm kind of old and grumpy to spend 3-4 days doing con stuff, but I'd love to see Nighty and anyone else from here who's attending.


Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on DeviantArt! Drop by and tell me that I sent you. *updated often!*

Would love to show you the sights Amy!

And Comic-Con just officially sent my the confirmation that we have the table for 2018. We'll be in the Mezzanine at our usual MZ-01 spot.

We're going to have a lot more giveaways for the table to celebrate the anniversaries, so please make it if you can.

I've never been to SD Comic-Con, or ever even met a fellow Legion Worlder, before; and would love to do both in 2018!

On the plus side, since I'm now living in the US instead of all the way over in Australia, I no longer have a massive desert and ocean keeping me away.

On the down side, since I just bought and renovated a house but don't yet have a job, I have less than no money and don't know how I'll be situated next year.

So it's a big "We'll see" from me for now unfortunately.

What part of the US did you move to? Let's hope things align so that you can make it over to San Diego in July.

I have to say that cons, even San Diego (or possibly especially San Diego) don't interest me any more. Too many people and long lines. That said, I wouldn't mind hanging at a Legion World table at San Diego.

With my big vacation coming up in January, I don't know if I could take another trip.

Thanks NC. I’m in Austin, Texas. Out of curiosity, how far in advance does one need to have locked in their Comic-Con plans (ticket/accommodation/flight/etc.)? Like, can I still be weighing up my options in May or June next year or do I need to have everything decided by like January 1 or something?

Thanks Dave! I’m thinking positive that it will. smile

Well, tickets go on sale a few months in advance as do the official hotels in or near downtown. I don't know when the general public will get the chance just yet. If you are interested in going, it's best to try for tickets and get a refund. You can always return tickets for a full refund about a month before the Con (Juneish).

For those of us that do want to come and didn't win the option to buy the tickets should still plan on coming as we might be able to work out a deal with the Con next year. But that would be limited, so as many people getting tickets as possible the regular way would help. Also, all of downtown San Diego becomes Comic-Con and outside activities are available to everyone regardless of a ticket. So, it's fun no matter what (plus, Zoo, Legoland, SeaWorld, and tons of free activities too...San Diego is a great place to visit anytime - this message brought to you by the Tourist Bureau of San Diego). And Andy, Kabir and I live here. smile

Anyway, those strapped for cash, if they make it here, we'll try to figure out where you can stay and get you into the Con at least one day. I'm working to set things up to help with places to stay, but as with the tickets, if as many people can get here the usual routes, then we can all help each other out.

I would like to meet you and your husband, so I hope you guys can make it!

Thanks for the info Gary! I’d like to come but will wait and see what happens job-wise. If I do though, it may end up just being me, as my other half is the most non-comics/games/sci-fi/fantasy/any-kind-of-genre-fan you could ever meet in your life. frown He doesn’t even watch movies or TV (except the news)!

So I think Comic-Con might be his idea of hell. But I think he likes San Diego so I might lure him over there on the pretense of a holiday and then be like “Oh look. I wonder where all those interestingly dressed people are going?” <evil laugh>

Maybe we can create a group of significant others that aren't into comics that can spend their days sightseeing and meet us all for dinners and get-togethers at night?

Blaze is also not comics literate, as he confessed to me! Apparently he just faked his interest in the Legion to get me to fall for him! How Archie!

For those of you interested in buying tickets for next year, here's a great resource to get ready for ticket sales.

Also, Comic-Con just emailed me about Exhibitor Housing Reservations for Dec. 7-10. If you are interested in getting the first look at the hotels/prices that are available, please send me an IM and I'll help hook you up.
