SDCC 2008: Arrival
Jul. 23rd, 2008 04:15 pmAm in my room at the Holiday Inn By The Bay, San Diego, showered and ready to head down to collect my badge. Those who follow me on Twitter will know the basics, but I'll talk in detail about the horror story that was my trip over later (but really, knowing me, is there any other kind?).
In the meantime, this is what I had for breakfast before I left Singapore. The cool thing is that I was reading the New York Times on my iPod Touch.

The Comic-Con programming schedules for Friday, July 25 and Saturday, July 26 are up. Here's what I might be going for. Some tough choices will have to be made - obviously there's a lot of overlap and I'll have to consider if I'll even make it in the door for some of these which will be absolutely packed, and/or have queues hours long.

Call for questions, by way of Tom Galloway:
This year's San Diego Pro/Fan Trivia will have Len Wein, Kurt Busiek, Mark Waid, and Robert Skir going up against Tom Galloway, Terence Chua, David Oakes, and John Sardegna, with the questions being asked by Peter David. We're looking for people to write questions for it, with this year's theme being "Young Heroes". Specifically, we're looking for questions about characters college aged or below, from stories published from 1956-1986 (essentially the Silver Age and Pre-Crisis). For example, Superboy, Supergirl, the Legion of Super-Heroes, Robin, Teen Titans, Spider-Man, Human Torch, the original X-Men and Kitty Pryde, etc.. If you send in a Legion question, we request that you also send in at least one non-Legion question for each Legion question, as we don't want an excessively Legion dominated set of questions.
There are two types of questions in the match, toss-ups and bonuses. You should mark your questions with what type you think they are. Toss-ups can only be answered by individuals, while the full team can consult on the latter. The latter can thus (and should) be both harder and perhaps a bit more complex in terms of a correct answer. In general, questions requiring more than one answer ("Name seven of the villains who appeared in the story about Reed and Sue's wedding") should be bonuses, not toss-ups. Ideally, I think 90% of toss-ups should be answered correctly, while around 50-70% of bonuses should.
Questions should not ask for issue numbers (they can be included in the question, but try for more descriptive set-ups than just "Who was the villain in Forbush-Man #3?") or creators. We're interested in story content. Also, unless it was fairly memorable, please don't write questions on the order of "In Superboy #158, Lex Luthor revealed a particular fondness for what Martian dessert?" where this was never mentioned again outside of that one panel.
As an example, take a look at 2003's match, including all questions and whether and who answered them correctly, in this post.
I'll just note that ones I think were probably too easy were Tossup #10, Bonus #11, and Bonus #13. Ones I think were probably too hard were Tossups 2, 8, and 20.
Finally, if possible, try to add a bit of style to the questions, sothey're not of very basic forms like "What's the Top's real name?" "Who fought Forbush-Man in Forbush-Man #1?", etc. I like Tossups 3 and 14 from the 2003 match in this regard.
Questions should be sent to hal_sdcc@yahoo.com
The match'll be Sunday the 27th, 2:30, in Room 4.
For those attending Comic-Con this year in San Diego and are interested in seeing two teams battle it out over items of information that no one in their right minds would ever, ever remember... but we do:
This year's Pro/Fan Trivia Match at the San Diego Comic-Con International will be taking place on the Sunday, July 27, between 2.30pm and 4pm at Room 4 of the Convention Center.
For years, there was a team trivia match challenge at Comic-Con, but after three years of being on championship teams, fans Jim Drew and Tom Galloway were banned from ever participating again. Len Wein then suggested a pro/fan trivia challenge: eventually the original trivia challenge ended, but the Black Ink Irregulars vs. The Purple Pros match continues to today.
Rules are simple: Two teams of four people (one captain and three team members) each. The first question asked is a Toss-Up, that goes to the person who buzzes in first. If they get it right, the team gets 10 points. If someone buzzes in before the question is finished and gets it wrong, there's a 5 point penalty. If the Toss-Up is answered correctly, the winning team gets first crack at the Bonus Question, worth 20 points. If they can't answer, the chance goes to the other team. Questions continue until time or questions are exhausted.
The permanent captains of the Pro and Fan teams, respectively, are Len Wein and Tom Galloway. You can find a history of the various matches and the winners each year here.
I took part in the match last year, of which the theme was "The Multiverse". The BIIs beat the PPs 230-130 - I have to say though, that was probably largely due to the fact that Mark Waid didn't show up as he was supposed to.
This year we were hoping to do a Legion of Super-Heroes theme, since this is the Legion's 50th Anniversary, but naturally Len balked because if Mark didn't show up again, they'd be toast. So the compromise is "Young Heroes", that is, college age or younger, which means Legion, Titans, original X-Men, Silver Age Spidey, Robin, etc.
See you guys there. I'll be wearing my flight ring.

Peering into the future
Aug. 14th, 2007 04:21 pmSo, Comic-Con next year, for which I have pre-reg'd, is from July 23-27.
Worldcon next year, in Denver, is from August 6-10.
One week separates them.
Hm.
Possible to do both, but... what shall I do in the week or so in between? And is anyone (aside from the obvious Denverites like Kathleen Sloan) planning on being there?

Con over, back at the Golds'. Am going to collapse soon. Con reports, such as they are, and some pictures to follow when I am conscious. Was fun and terrifying at the same time. May do it again next year.
And oh, Fans (Hal Shipman, David Oakes, Tom Galloway and myself) beat Pros (Len Wein, Paul Levitz, Kurt Busiek and Elliot S! Maggin) in the Trivia Contest, I believe 230 points to 130.

Bags are packed
Jul. 23rd, 2007 09:18 pmBags are packed. Sorta. Kinda. You know how I am. I just throw stuff in the bag and hope it'll spontaneously rearrange itself into some kind of order. Entropy, ha!
Flying off at 1015 hrs local time tomorrow, and will land in LAX at 2.20 pm Pacific Time on 24 July 2007, to be hopefully met by Lee Gold. Then take the Surfliner down to San Diego the next day.
Will update when appropriate.

San Diego trip
Apr. 5th, 2007 08:33 pmSo I'm finalising my plans for the San Diego Comicon trip, and wondering if I should extend my stay after the con - seems a shame to just go there and not see anyone else. Anyone in California want me to visit?
(One of the things I'm thinking about is maybe taking a trip down to Anaheim to the Disney California Adventure park to take the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride. Yes, I'm a geek. Of course, my knowledge of Californian geography is sketchy at best, so I really don't know where you all stay or what's in easy reach. Let me know?)
