Not only did single Day tickets for Comic Con 2010 go on sale, (Make sure you go there soon. Saturday is already 70% sold out!)

Matty Collector released three Masters of the Universe Classic figures. I only got Skeletor because I need to buy SDCC tickets but I'm glad I did. He's already sold out. King Randor & The Goddess are still there.

BUT

Rubber Soul was released for full download on The Beatles: Rockband. XBOX 360 and PS3 can either download the complete album or one song at a time. Us WII owners, get the "one song at a time" option.

Ah Comic Con! I've been attending your show since 2006. I had to Volunteer that year because it was a last minute choice to go. Getting to volunteer, the registering, assignments, were all a piece of cake.

I came back in 2007 with Jaime. We also volunteered that year because we couldn't find cheap flights and were only there for 3 days.  Volunteering was a little tough with having registration take a while but it go done.

We decided that in 2008, we will register. We were actually able to get our hotel first and then get our tickets.

In 2009. tickets were selling out before reg opened for Hotels. We had to get our tickets before we got our hotel. Luckily, we are able to score a hotel and not have to worry about getting refunds.

While at the con, we heard that they were capping preview night and tickets for 4 days were now 100 bucks. We were so broke from shopping, we opted to wait till we got home.

Start of Nov. and they were already sold out of 4 days passes with preview night. Non preview night were still on sale. I was waiting for payday.

2 days for payday, they sold out too. 4 day passes sold out in NOVEMEBER.

We had to settle for 1 day passes for each day.

They went on sale today. The system makes you buy each day as it's own transaction. 4 days times 2 people, that 8 of them. My credit card is going to be thinking WTF?

I managed to buy 2 Friday and 2 Saturday passes for Jaime and I. The system got way to slow and I'm out of money. I'll have to wait till payday for Thursday day pass.

Every year, its gets more and more crazy. They should of figured out how to get the system to allow us to get each day pass in one shot. They should of figured those of us that missed the 4 days passes would be buying single passes.

Granted, it's my fault for not paying attention and thinking pass would sell out early next year. Now I know better.

Now to wait for March for Comic Con Hotels. Ticket reg is nothing compared to getting a hotel room.

Comic Con 4 days passes have completely sold out. I didn't even get a chance to buy one!!

So now, I have to stalk the site so I can get 4 single day passes but depending how much those total up, I might not even go. This is getting ridiculous!

4 months after Comic Con 2009 and they sell out??!! My god!!

Maybe we can Volunteer again.....?

Ugh, I forgot to check Comic Con site and just found out that 4 days passes with preview night are sold out!

Meh.

I'm going to buy my 4 day ticket with my next paycheck from the Academy. Oh, this sucks! But I guess it saves me an extra day on Hotel...?

Scratch that, pick up for badges with no preview night can only be done starting Thursday. I'm flying in Wednesday.

Now to wait for the stupid hotel lottery.

Meh.

First off, Sketches from Art Balaztar and Franco, art and writer for Tiny Titans:

I am in love with Tiny Harley Quinn. She is so freaking adorable!! Jaime asked for Lil Wade.

We found Terry Dodson and I asked for a sketch of Harley Quinn and Jaime asked him for Jubilee.

Run down:

* Spent 45 mins in a line to get a ticket to get into another line
* Spent 2 hours in the Hasbro line just to get a Wolverine Mighty Mugg, Super Hero/Villain My little pony, and a Soundwave!!
* Found some Harley Quinn back issues
* Helped Lilli with an Emily the Strange scavenger hunt
* Played some Lego Rock Band
* Played a couple of Ninja Turtle games
* Walked the dealers room
* Watching the movie Trick or Treat right now

Nothing exciting today. We still had Lilli so we couldn't really run around as fast. Tomorrow, there is the Disney panel with Miyazaki.

I love it when my biggest dilemma in life is what to do at Comic Con. I love those kinds of days.

Henry Selick and Neil Gaiman will be having an autograph session for Coraline’s release on DVD/Blu Ray. Jaime and I have gotten Neil Gaiman autograph back in 2007. I would love to get them to sign my Coraline DVD but the problem is, their

session is during the time of Disney’s Panel.

Guess who’s at Disney’s Panel?

Totoro-flute

MIYAZAKI.

Crap! I checked and Miyazki will not be doing any kind of session for autographs. Also, Ponyo won’t be the only film talked about at the panel. The Panel is only an hour long.

Now with the signing for the Coarline group, you get in line, pull out a ticket and that ticket will let you know if you won a place in line.

It’s simple, if Jaime or I don’t get one of the tickets, then we battle into the Disney panel. If we do get a ticket, the heck do we do?

Ugh!

Do we just not bother trying for another autograph and just wait in line forever and get into the Disney panel or do we try and if one of us gets the ticket, then who stays? Who goes to the panel? What if we both score tickets?

(Again, I love the months where life’s dilemmas aren’t really major.)

*DING*

Southwest is having another sale and I managed to find return flights from San Diego to SFO for under 70 bucks for Comic Con weekend!!

I haven't be able to find any kind of Sunday flights in the last few months for cheap. (One of the reason I haven't been hitting Disneyland.) I can find them going on a Weekday/Saturday morning at 44-49 but nothing for a Sunday night. Anything after 6am Sunday equals over 100 bucks. I came across these and booked them for Jaime and I. Since we have 4-day passes, we are going to preview night which is on a Wednesday.

Wednesday usually mean cheaper flights so we can grab those at a later date.

I can not wait for Comic Con!!

I just checked and Comic con tickets are now 80% sold.

Crap, crap, crap!!

We were waiting to get tickets till after the hotel-a-thon. You know, in case we couldn't get a hotel, the we wouldn't waste our tickets.

Ugh, what to do?

I guess we're buying them now.

MARCH 19 @ 9AM!!!

HOTELS FOR COMIC CON!!!

I WILL BE READY WITH 3 PHONES AND 2 COMPUTERS!!

I WILL GET A ROOM!!
