Just booked my 4-day pass. Hope to see you all next July

I too have my registration and hotel booked. We will have to get together for some "shorts", Graham!

Hey Batman...I'm wondering what you ended up thinking about the Holiday Inn. I thought the bus was much busier in the morning than in 2007 but overall it was fine.

Loved 2008 so much that I just got registered and booked my hotel for 2009. Too bad it's still September.

Booked my 4 day pass for the July Show. Just wondered if any card talk members from the U.K. who regularly attend know if it's better to book a package deal with a travel agent or arrange Flight and Hotel separately?

If it's better separately any suggestions? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

All booked up today. So see you all at the Breakfast.

Does anyone else find it odd that CCI has not announced when rooms willbe going on sale? Last year they went on sale the first week of Feb. As of today they have noting on their web site about it.

I booked with Expedia in 2007. The prices are not too bad, they are now offering Nectar points and it saves the aggro of shopping around.

I've already booked a room at the Sofia at the same rate as through Comic Con, but I will try to get into the Westin Horton Plaza or Embassy Suites if possible. If not, the Sofia will be fine with me. It's always good to have a back-up plan.

The only think I didn't like about the Sofia was their ridiculous "European" showers. The opening to the shower is only half enclosed by a pane of glass. The other half is completely open with no shower curtain. Half the towels each day were used to soak up the water that sprayed out onto the floor.

Beside that little design flaw, the hotel itself was very nice. The shuttle stop was right there too, so there wasn't far to walk at all.

My wife and I are booked at the Springhill Suites. It's about 10 - 12 miles north of the convention center but right off the freeway and is easy to get to and from the center. The room we booked has a king size bed, sofa bed, refrigerator, desk, nice bathroon and a jacuuzi and a nice breakfast buffet every moring. We got it for $159.00 a night.

BOOKED MY ROOM LAST YEAR IN VISTA I HAVE STAYED THERE FOR 5 YEARS NOW,CAN'T WAIT

I'm booked and a-coming The Sofia wasn't available for booking from the UK so I've gone with the Westin Horton Plaza. Line those drinks up Rob I arrive 18.00 on the 20th.

I'm ready for shorts!

The room lottery is March 19th. Good luck to everyone!

Apparently, the world gets him in shorts pretty much year-round. He disguised himself by wearing pants in NYC though. He left the cape home too.

If he wore pants in the UK he'd get arrested

Under the circumstances, I think the proper term is "bat-shorts"!
