And now it's not even sneaking up on us anymore. It's charging full speed in our direction. I'm putting the finishing touches on a schedule of things I want to see and do and appointments with people I want to be around. If all goes well, I may have a chance to pee sometime on Saturday between 3:07 and 3:08. That is, if my 3:05 belch doesn't run long. I've also planned where and when I'm going to dine. I haven't figured out what we're doing at Quick Draw! yet but I know where I'm having rigatoni bolognese on Sunday evening. (Hey, those of you who are familar with Quick Draw!: You know that game we play called Secret Words? It's the one where I give the cartoonists a list of words they have to convey via drawings to an audience member? Well, if you have a great Secret Word to suggest, e-mail it to me before tomorrow evening. It's got to be something that isn't obvious…where the artists will have to sweat a bit to figure out what to draw in order to communicate the word. Last year, they all got hernias trying to depict "miscellaneous.")
The main tip I'm going to give you today here is this: Memberships for the 2012 Comic-Con will be on sale at this one. Read this page and realize that if you're there, it would be a lot easier to go buy a membership for next year instead of counting the hours until the next time you can purchase one. It would also be a lot easier than deciding a year from today that uh, hey, you need to find some way to get a badge. I'm hearing from a lot of people who have suddenly decided, months after it was sold out, that they want to go to this one. Remember too that if you buy a membership and then aren't able to use it, it can be sold back to the con. The 2012 convention runs July 12-15.
Here's my schedule of panels. No changes since the last time I posted this link…
