I plan to show up for Saturday (this year, the 3rd) and hope to say "hi" to Scott and Cat. Anybody else be around?

I'll be there from about Monday on. Yeah, I know it doesn't start until Thursday, well Wednesday night actually. I do the Newsletter for the convention, so by the time, people start showing up on Wednesday or Thursday, I've been busting a$$ for three days already. I'll post my likely whereabouts/how to reach me in a day or two. If i'm not mistaken, there is a room in the convention center put aside for club meetings. If we think there is going to be enough interest and we could pin down a day and time, I could try to reserve it. I glanced through the programming schedule for Saturday, available at

http://www.comic-con.org/pages/2002Prog.html

and it doesn't look like there's anything blatently online oriented on Saturday that would be a major conflict.

Let me know. If we want to shoot for that, we should try to pin it down in the next day or two. After Sunday, my ability to get e-mail or even go online gets pretty sketchy.

Hmm... While we're not really a club in the traditional sense, it would be cool to have a specific time and place to get together for a little bit. If you could check and see if there's something for Saturday afternoon (any time, I think), that would be cool. If we have a time, I can contact Scott and see if he can pencil it into his schedule. If he and Cat show up, I can't see why anybody else wouldn't want to as well.

If your internet access will be limited, send me an email (greg@zwol.org) with some real-world contact info and we can work it out that way.

Hi, I just talked to the programming coordinator. He has a cancellation in one of the small programming rooms at 5:30 on Saturday. Kind of late in the day, but that's the only time he has at this point. If we want it, we need to decide right away, because he might end up giving it away if something else turns up. Let me know what you think.

It might be easier to just pick a time and place to meet and find a place to sit.

Let me know.

Thanks,

Chris

Yeah, I agree. Let's not take up any valuable space that others could use for better purposes. But thanks for looking into it!

I'll be about at the Con too. First time in the US for me, so expect me to look suitabley dazed and confused.

I'll be there for the whole thing and I'd be up for saying hello to folk on Saturday, if something gets arranged. I'm also going to be pimping this mini-comic all over the place:

It's weird and it's free. What more could a person want?

I'll be in Room 11 most of the time, I'll also e-mail Greg with my cell number. I'll try to check back here, but no guarantees.
