If we're not able to get to the booth til Saturday, will we still be able to get passes to the party or are we SOL?

Also just a thought for other folks attending the Con... I'm planning on putting together like some one page sheets with screenshots and barebones information for a couple of my characters. I'll see if I can hit up some of the folks on artist alley for commisions, and I'll have something to hand them.

My niece had this brilliant idea last year. I think she spent all of her Con spending money on commisioned artwork of her CoH character.

anachrodragon, I was considering doing something like this myself since I'm usually in AA buying commissions anyway. Is there any chance you could post an example of what your niece put together since it soulds like she had gerat success with whatever she used?

I think hers last year was pretty simple, probably just some screenshots. I can imagine her getting all animated describing the character to the artists though: "She's an ancient princess with HORNS AND CLAWS! And she's really short but she KICKS BUTT!"

Here's what I'll probably do: find some good screenshots and then describe some features that the screenshots don't quite cover. Not like a character bio, but things like typical facial expressions, eye color, other prominent features.

Like for my brute I'd say he has angry eyebrows, green eyes, a scar across one eye (but it doesn't have to look the same as the in-game scar), an atheletic build but not muscle-bound.

I'll post mine when I get around to doing it.

We'll hold a certain number to pass out daily, although if you communicate with me on your needs I can certainly set aside passes for you.

Cool, thanks. I just know from experience that different artists have different concepts of what's considered adequate reference material.

Cool. I was too slow and missed the 4 day pass so I bought one for Saturday. Im gonna try to see if I can buy one for Friday as well.
I was just worried that because of that I might miss out on a chance to meet and greet and drink with fellow CoXers.

Unfortunately, for the first time in 10 years I have to skip Comic-Con this year. Something has come up and I will need to leave San Diego that weekend.

Sorry you can't make it Hobo. Going to the Comic-con for the past 6 years, I know how much it would hurt to miss one. Hope everything turns out ok for you.

Nothing bad, close relative turning 80 and having a party and I probably should be there as I will never hear the end of it if I skip it for Comic-Con.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but if the relative is 80, how many more years can you realistically expect this person to keep bringing it up?

Not worried about him bringing it, more like my mother every time I call her or see her.

Speaking of which, why don't you call her more often?

Seriously. You spend all your time on that new-fangled intraweb talking to strangers, but you can't take 5 minutes to call your own Mother? Whatsamatter, she's not good enough for you now? She's just an embarassment to you, eh? Maybe she shold just dig a hole and lie down in it. Next time you stop by you could just cover her up. Not that you ever come by. She only gave you the best years of her life, and this is how you repay her? Now her neighbour, Mrs. Johnston, HER kids come over and visit every week! And they bring grandchildren. And HER son is a Doctor! Why didn't you do that? It would have made your Father (God rest his soul) so proud. It's probably for the best that he didn't live to see how his son turned out.

I wish I could go... But because I started my new job I have no vacation time saved, so I can't afford to miss work.

And it doesn't help that my BOSS is going to the 'con! ARGH!

Four day passes and Saturday passes for Comic Con have been sold out. There are still passes for Thursday, Friday and Sunday, but don't expect them to last long. Friday is going fast.

My sister had her wedding during Comic-Con, and understood when I didn't make it. Of course, the fact that I'm the only one in the family who goes back east to see her every year helps to make up for it. Not completely, though, as I'm also hitting Gen Con on that trip as well.
