Yes, that is correct...There will be a breakfast Friday morning at Buster's Beach House and Longboard Bar (807 W. Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA). This is the same location as last year. This really worked out well last year and I'm happy we've got this place again. It will on Friday morning. I hope to post details soon (time, cost, etc.) and hope that anyone coming to Comic-Con will set aside Friday morning for this.
Thanks.

Yep, that was a great place for the breakfast and the food was just great! Maybe this time I won't get lost walking to the Meeting..Need someone to walk me there so I find it...

It worked out well for me...my hotel was just a block away!

too bad, I won't be around on Friday (only the next day)

Not sure when it happened but 4-day tickets are now sold-out. Single days are still available but pricey. Anyone considering coming back next year should purchase 4-day tickets this year before you leave. I got mine last year for $50 each. After the show online sales were $75.

*edit*
Nevermind.

Star Trek the Exhibition (props, sets & costumes etc.)is on at the San Diego Aerospace Museum, Balboa Park whilst Comic-Con is on. I believe it opened on June 21st and runs until Nov.

That would be interesting to see, maybe I'll check that out on Wednesday before preview night. Thanks for the info!

I wish I could go(hey) maybe before the next decade rolls in?

Oh, my...you're right! Which begs the question...Free Eureka ice cream or ice cream from the secret ice cream place? Or both! I might need to visit Macy's in Horton Plaza by the end of the show to get larger pants.

Seriously, though, this is an excellent line-up form NBC/Universal.

Definitely both.

I can't wait to meet y'all who are coming to the breakfast. I will be bringing cards to giveaway and/or trade at the Con.

In addition to card trading I also encourage those who are blood donors (as well as those who want to) to sign up for the Robert A. Heinlein Blood Drive. This year Diamond Select is donating 750 limited edition exclusive Chief Tyrol figures from SCIFI Channel Battlestar Galactica Season 3. More info can be found at
www.comic-con.org.
Thanks Harris for doing this. I'm really hoping I can make it and if I can't, I'll donate my breakfast to someone who can!

Thanks a lot NL.

I am going to try and arrange a table or area for members to put their extras on for others to take, as we have done in years past. Anyone who has extra sets, promos, etc. and wishes to do so should bring them for other members to take. This has worked pretty well in the past. All that I ask is that you please take the remaining cards with you when you leave. Otherwise, they will be discarded.

Thanks.

I have 50 Batman Archives promos (P1) that I will be bringing to put on the freebie table.
