Arrrgh, the most tension filled day of the year for Stately Beat Manor is tomorrow. San Diego Comic-Con hotel registration opens up at noon EDT, 9 am PDT. Gentlemen, start your browsers....and do not...

Remember back in the day two years ago when you could go on the Ace Parking site and buy advance parking for the San Diego Comic-Con? Well, this is no more. A new random lottery based system has been put in place, to go with all the other random lottery systems for Comic-Con:

I'm surprised we don't see more of these stories in the media, but perhaps this is just the start. It seems a 13-year-old lad in Buncrana, Ireland has been dreaming of going to Comic-Con...

For those of you who are sensible and like to avoid stress, the "Early Bird" hotel rooms are now available for Comic-Con 2015. These are mostly in Mission Valley, but on a 24-hour shuttle...

It was badge-o-ween this weekend—open registration for this year's San Diego Comic-Con. Rather than follow the travail and triumph on twitter, I went and sat in a sauna, but it was the usual. Everything sold out in about an hour — 30 minutes less than last year. There was a new snafu where people had to log in to the member ID to get their registration number...which then crashed the member ID site because people didn't have it all written out on a piece of paper like they probably should have. Planning, folks.

Tomorrow at 9 am pst, noon est the big one gets underway, the Super Bowl, the Kentucky Darby, the Masters -- registering for a 2015 San Diego Comic-Con badge. The day before the big event, the con has posted a The Ultimate Comic-Con 2015 Open Online Registration FAQ and let's be honest, it is made to weed out people who can't follow instructions:

Comic-Con International (aka SDCC) will be held July 9-12 this year. That's only 150 days. Not much time! But the first guests have been announced and they are Writer Kelly Sue DeConnick: Captain Marvel, Pretty...

Oh no not again. With the San Diego Convention Center's expansion plans spiked, and Comic-Con's contract up in 2016, people are once again asking will Comic-Con stay in San Diego? but the question does seem to have a more perfunctory tone than last time. As Lori Weisberg reports, Mayor Kevin Faulconer is all about keeping Con in San Diego and trying to get local hotels to keep their prices at the 2016 level for 2017 and 2018—and many are going along, but only because pretty much everyone realizes that keeping Comic-Con in San Diego is in everyone's best interest. Anaheim is trying to jump into the mix again, but after a few WonderCons in Anaheim, I think everyone realizes that Anaheim is not San Diego, and the show would become a very different event if it moved. And besides, WonderCon is developing into a more significant event on its own.

The San Diego city council's denial of the Convention Center expansion the other day has left a lot of questions for the city—like can they keep the Chargers there or will THEY move to...

I can't say this was unexpected, but here we go again: after the threat of endless legal battles, environmental group opposition, the lack of any real financing plan and perpetual local conflict, after spending...

It had to happen. Conan O'Brien will be taping his chat show in San Diego for Comic-Con 2015. O'Brien will be taping at the the Spreckles Theater from July 8 to 12, 2015—which suggests...
