Comic Con SD 2009 Meetup

GWC Meetups and Events
#1

Here is the Programming Map pdf. It is very useful when coordinating meetups for panels!

The hub and I will likely be in Ballroom 20 all day, Friday.

Here’s the lineup:
10:30-11:30 Stargate Universe
11:45-12:45 Caprica/BSG: The Plan
1:00-2:00 Big Bang Theory
2:15-3:00 24
3:00-3:45 Bones
4:00-5:15 Dollhouse
5:15-6:00 Joss Whedon
6:15-7:15 TV Guide Magazine: SciFi Hot List

So we figure the meetup at our place will be from 7pm - 11pm.

We need get up early to get parking for Saturday, or we’d go all night! lol!

We will have beverages, salad, dessert, and ordering pizza from Giovanni’s!

See the menu here, if you have any questions/preferences. We’ll put an initial order in, and can always order more if needed!

Here is the initial order:

The Works- pepperoni, olives, onions, mushrooms & sausage
Thai Chicken- special Thai sauce grilled chicken and chopped green onions
Roasted Garlic Chicken- with white garlic cream sauce, grilled chicken, fresh basil & diced tomatoes

We can also change one of these out, if there are enough requests! Maybe I should make a poll? lol!

Also, please let us know of any dietary restrictions, so we can help you make arrangements!

See you soon!

Please email me for directions and #s and BODY COUNT! (if you haven’t told me already!)

I’m down for plain pizza or that roasted chicken sounds good

#3

I’m totally down to hang out on Friday night! I’ll also be in Room 20 for the BSG/Caprica panels, and then down in Hall H for a few of the other movie/Star Wars Panels.

I’m vegan, so those pizza options won’t be for me, but I’ll bring some tasty beer to share with everyone.

#4

I’ll be there for the Joss panels! I’m hoping that I can come Friday night. I don’t have a vehicle this time, so if anyone is available to give this poor girl a ride, it would be much appreciated. Or, do you have bus/trolley info for your neighborhood bkitty?

#5

I need to get off my sorry behind and meet some of the local GWC Crew. Expect an email from me.

#6

Looks like some may need the trolley to get to our place!

If you take the Red Line from the Convention Center and exit at the Hazard Center stop, we can shuttle you to and from our house!

It looks like the last train running back to the Convention Center departs from Hazard Center by 10:55.

Service Overview: Thursday and Friday
Special Event ‘Red Line’ Service

On July 23-24, San Diego Trolley will offer its Special Event ‘Red Line’ service between Qualcomm Stadium and the Convention Center area, serving Old Town and Mission Valley stations along the way. The ‘Red Line’ will depart Qualcomm Stadium every 15 minutes beginning at 8:17 a.m. Due to fleet requirements during the afternoon commute, ‘Red Line’ service will operate every 30 minutes beginning at 1:32 p.m. from the stadium. 15 minute frequency departing the Convention Center will resume at 5:49 p.m. Special Event ‘Red Line’ will continue until 12:30 a.m. on both days, which will enclude late night service through to Santee via the Green Line.

Late night service operates every 30 minutes.

Passengers may also use regular Orange, Blue, and Green Line trains.

Special Event ‘Red Line’ timetable for Thursday & Friday

Trolley Tickets

A one-way Trolley fare is $2.50, but if you are returning on the Trolley, remember to purchase your $5 Day Pass before boarding. This will help you avoid lines at the Ticket Booth and Ticket Vending machines on your return trip. A Day Pass allows unlimited travel on MTS all day.
For those attending more than one day, MTS Day Passes are available in denominations from 1 to 4 days. A multi-day pass is your most economical way to travel to Comic Con 2009! Day Passes can be purchased at station Ticket Vending Machines or at select Trolley stations with ticket booth sales.

Day Pass Rates:
1-Day = $5
2-Days = $9
3-Days = $12
4-Days = $15

Holy moly! I had no idea there was a meetup! Good thing I tweeted today! lol!

Friday morning, I’m going to The Guild panel, so it’s possible I won’t get in to the Caprical thing, but I’ll try. That night is the Dollhouse panel, which finishes at 6, and I’m not volunteering that day, so I should be able to come unless there’s a surprise Browncoat gathering.

I suppose, if you twisted my arm, I could skip the Guild thing. It would be nice to have a group to sit with! :smiley:

I feel like a shit, but I may not make tonight’s meetup. :frowning: Might be a thing with my Buffy castmates I should go to. So, don’t count on me. ::blush::

#13

Thanks Bkitty, it was a lot of fun to get to see fellow GWC members at your get together. It was also fun to find out that “the Hub” and I went to high school together! That was truly one of life’s little weird moments.

#14

lol! I can’t take him anywhere! We’ve been in other states, and he runs into someone! lol!

#15

Ended up going to the Cameron/Jackson event (which I didn’t think we’d get into Friday night) and after it got out we were beat and smelled of Con. I really appreciate the invitation though…
