Hi All:

We'll be at Comic-Con this year. Still not sure about other plans yet but it would be great if we could do the informal, pay-your-own-way, breakfast. Sounds like we have interest in it. So let's shoot for Friday morning, like we usually do. Maybe we'll take NL up on one of her suggestions. I realize now that I've actually been to two of the restaurants she's mentioned.

Actually, you really don't have to, NL. Please don't feel obligated. I was kidding.

Just happy we are able to go again.

If only a smaller group can meet there are a couple of places - Richard Walkers Pancake house on Front and another called Cafe 222 near the Convention Center on Island Street. There is also Laels and Sallys at the Manchester Hyatt - Sally's has all day breakfast on Sat and Sundays. Laels has a buffet breakfast at $22.

A bit further up is Sun Cafe for cheaper eats which also serves breakfast.

I don't know about the hotel places, but Cafe 222 is very small and there's almost always a line to get in. Richard Walker's Pancake House also had a pretty big line when I saw it last year. Sun Cafe is usually not so crowded (I've been eating there for 20 years now, it's gotten to where the owner recognizes me when I show up!) and may work for a small group but not something much larger than 8 people.

Seems where to eat depends upon the number of people would try to make the breakfast. Unless you're willing to drive, or take a long walk, best bet are the hotels to accomodate a large group as the other eateries are in the East Village or a bit north of the Gaslamp. I'm at the Hyatt every year and the dining room at Laels is large to accomodate a group of 20 or so people.

Anybody know of any of the panels going on yet/i can't wait

The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Peter Jackson and James Cameron's Avatar may be among the highlights of this summer's Comic-Con International in San Diego, the New York Times reported today.

Jackson has never attended in person, despite having had many of his movies hyped at the show. But the director will appear in Hall H of the San Diego Convention Center in support of District 9, an alien-internment thriller set for release by Sony on Aug. 14.

Jackson produced the film, which was directed by his friend Neill Blomkamp, who will also attend.

Comic-Con is still finalizing its schedule, and it is entirely possible that Jackson could be upstaged by another science fiction heavyweight: James Cameron, who may bring his 3-D sci-fi epic Avatar. A Fox executive told the newspaper that the filmmaker was still deciding.

New Moon is Summit Entertainment's sequel to the hit Twilight.

Meanwhile, Warner Brothers will make presentations on about 10 films, although it has not fully determined the lineup.

Twilight was crazy last year, and I suspect that it will be even more popular this year. The crush of people near the booth was unbelieveable. People slept outside just wanting to wait in line for the panel the next day.

I checked with the officials at SDCC and I will be able to pick up my friends pass so long as I have his confirmationand a copy of his license.

That's cool! It will save him some time.

Well bummer that there's no Cardtalk breakfast this year, but awesome that the Tosers (and everyone else) are going!

I'd be more than happy to go to a lil gathering 1 night or morning anyway if 1 is put together!

Don't look as though I'll be seeing much daylight

No Twilight? I can't imagine that, I suspect they will have some type of presentation, with the new movie due in November.

Ah, I checked out Kennywood's link, it's only a teaser for television shows, no movies or such other type programming.

Comic Con Schedule from Seat 42F

That link says Twilight will be on Thursday as well as a Dexter Panel on the same day.
