Well so much for our J.D. Salinger moment.This being the internet and all, not 30 minutes after I'd posted my mystery of the great 2011 Comic-Con Food Truck Burrito, someone on twitter had identified the truck and posted a picture of a half eaten lunch.

Only this morning we were congratulating actor/entrepreneur Zachary Levi for setting up Nerd HQ, a Comic-Con offsite that's essentially a mini comic-con in itself with panels and signings with major nerdlebrities -- with proceeds to go to charity. Well, it turns out that running even a mini-comi-con gives you major comic-con sized problems: when tickets for the event went on sales this morning, it resulted in complete server meltdown.

It isn't much of a surprise, really -- things had been going this way for a while and it was very clear that the board wanted to stay in San Diego.

Has all the Comic-Con hype actually TURNED OFF some moviegoers? That's what what a chart over at THR seems to show, Jay Fernandez reports:

We're back! And we have had no dinner and nothing to eat, so this may be very, very rocky. The evening gala starts with the...
