.... The future!

I don't know if there is anyone who reads this who will be attending SDCC for the first time this year but this is a great read. And it is totally right on.

Man, I'm starting to get excited for SDCC. I think thoughts of SDCC will help me through next week when I'm so busy I'm going to want to scream.

FYI:
Monday - Rehearsal
Tuesday - Nothing?
Wednesday - Tech Rehearsal
Thursday - Parents arrive, Dress Rehearsal
Friday - Concert Performance
Saturday - Concert Performance
Sunday - Parents leave, Pride parade in support of the Chorus

Then I fall over and die. Or well, just sleep for a few days or something. I have a post brewing in my head about belief. I think.

Good post.
Changes (improvements?) to previous year's plans include:
* Power strip for hotel room
* Melatonin (enough to share)
* Naproxen sodium (enough to share, will be in my day pack)
* I'm trying out some non-oxybenzone sunscreens, and intend to bring one

I'll add any parties and events I think are promising to the tripit itinerary, but I think the "nothing we have to buy tickets" for rule is good - except for w00tstock, of course.

Sounds good. I'm thinking of trying to find from Tiger Balm or something like that to put on at night time. I need to remember to bring an ankle brace or Ace bandage because, well, my left ankle hasn't been right since about Germany. While I expect it will be okay before then, better safe than sorry.

Blech, not looking forward to the Thursday morning in line.

Oh well. Bringing actual backpack this year, not shoulder satchel. And more books or some embroidery or something for the lines/panels I don't care about. Also I found my Ralph's card from last year. :)

I know where mine is too!

So you have to do the line thing on Thursday? That's sort of lame.

Got that impression, but it might be wrong. I need to double-check on the site. Let me do that right now, in fact....

(okay, no actual info for sure, but I certainly don't remember seeing people being turned away in prior years from Wednesday pickup.)

EDIT: No, actually I do have to suck it up.

"4-DAY PICK UP
WITHOUT PREVIEW NIGHT
4-Day Memberships purchased without Preview Night may be redeemed beginning Thursday July 22nd at 8:30AM."

Well, fuck. Fuck.

Lamzors.

You have a swim suit? Pretty sure the hotel will have a pool. I mean, you could actually enjoy the town for a day. Go see the tall ships or sommat.

Not a bad idea at all. Might just faff around in the morning and early afternoon, line up for my badge and maybe have enough time to see some of the exhibition hall before meeting up for dinner.

Heh. We do recordings at the shows and long before the concerts.

Well, I was thinking on Wednesday, mostly. I think Sean and I will be taking the go in later approach this year. Haven't talked about it yet but I'm not feeling a burning need to be first in for Preview Night...
