Well i was part of the Masquerade last year and we won 2nd place pretty much so we won tickets. And now will be putting in for my Pro Badge which i know i will get cuz the wife got it so thats 3 years of Pro badges so no need to worry about basic tickets.I take it you didnt get any Aaron.

I tried several times. I even was on the waiting list for when tickets opened at 0900. That darn system kept timing out.

That might be the only way I'd be able to go. Plus I never really know when I'll have drill.

Doh! Crap, I haven't bought badges yet. I should have realized they'd be sold out... duh. Looks like I won't be able to make it unless I get lucky.

Well damn but as long as you have a member ID keep your eyes out the do Resales of refunded tickets. its sucks that SDCC sells out so fast but its starting to get way to big but hey no more Twilight shit there sorry if you like the series it just made Con bad with all the fans that had to get tickets for the one panel......I can say we will have atleast 3 marines there so far.....

Thanks Chris, I definitely will keep a watch on the resale tickets. I worked at SDCC for three years but I haven't been there in about five years and decided it was past time to get back. Boy was I in for a surprise.

I think the most fun I had at the con in the past was the Galactica cast panel and running into Aaron Douglas who played Tyrol in the dealer's area, not to mention spending about 3 hours talking with the artists from Weta and the guys from Adult Swim.

And I totally agree on the Twilight crap. I haven't read the books or seen the films but from what I have seen it turns my stomach. =P

I will be there probably on Saturday only. I don't have a place to stay, so more than one day is kind of out of it for me anymore.

If I can get a ticket, I'll be there. And I'm sure out of my many friends in San Diego, we could crash at one of their houses. I can compensate them with ammo or gear.

yeah i know for a few people the issue is tickets i was talking to Gi-rene yesterday and he needs one still, so keep an eye out for refunded ticket sales and make sure you have a member ID for comic con. also i might have room at my place if you dont mind bringing an air mattress and also a Cat which Aaron was so intreged with him.

Like I said, I will do my best and keep an ear to the ground. Right now for me, it is Saturday or maybe Sunday only for me. I will make sure it is whatever day the Marines are gonna armor up!

So, do we have anyone confirmed for going? This will be my first time taking my armor out. Not sure which day I will be suited up, thinking Friday. I will be on the mezzanine where the fan tables are most of the time, usually by the San Diego Star Wars Society booth. Stop by if you can make it.

I know that Kraemer and I will be armouring up on Saturday. We still haven't set a time yet, but for me it will probably be all day since I will only be down there for the day.
