I'm going down Saturday! Anyone else gonna be there, we should grab food or something.

Here is what I'm for sure checking out:

10:30-12:00 Lost: Season 3- You won't want to miss this panel with Jorge Garcia (Hugo "Hurley" Reyes) and Daniel Dae Kim (Jin-Soo Kwon) from the cast of ABC's hit show Lost as they are joined by co-creator/executive producer Damon Lindelof and executive producers Bryan Burk and Carlton Cuse to discuss the new season of Lost. They'll preview excerpts from the Lost Season 2 DVD box set, take questions from the audience, and perhaps even offer some surprises! Room 20

12:00-1:00 The Simpsons- Heading into their unprecedented 18th season this fall, and with their historic 400th episode airing next spring, The Simpsons continues to entertain and delight. Members of the team responsible for the longest-running comedy on television will be on hand to answer the questions everyone wants to know, including: how do you continue to keep it so good? Panelists include Matt Groening, creator and executive producer; James L. Brooks, executive producer; Matt Selman, executive producer; David Mirkin, executive producer; Al Jean, executive producer and head writer; Don Payne, co-executive producer; Bill Odenkirk, co-executive producer; Matt Warburton, supervising producer; Mike Scully, producer; and David Silverman, director. Moderated by Bill Morrison. Room 20

1:00-2:30 Kevin Smith- The moment is here. Kevin Smith's Clerks 2 is in theaters now, and the man, the myth, the legend behind it is here at Comic-Con to talk about the making of the film and whatever else he damn well pleases. Hall H

5:30-7:00 [adult swim] 2 for 1- That's right. Here's your chance to see new stuff and ask dumb questions. Panel #1: Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro (Aqua Teen Hunger Force), Jim Fortier (Squidbillies), Dino Stamatopoulus (Moral Orel), and Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha (Metalocalypse) will kick off the first half of this year's panel. Panel #2 follows with Seth Green and Matt Senreich (Robot Chicken), Jackson Publick (Venture Brothers), Adam de La Pena, Todd James, and Peter Girardi (Minoriteam), and Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim (Tom Goes to the Mayor). The gang's all here. You should be too. Room 6CDEF

I have Derithian's cell phone # if you want it. He gave it to me in case anyone from here was going and wanted to meet up with him. If you want it, let me know and I'll PM it to you.

saturday for a one day visit is a mistake though. it's so busy it's impossible to see much of anything. expect to have to show up tho every single one of those panels early as lines especially for the kevin smith one start lining up waaaay early. Don't expect to hit the simpsons then kevin smith unless you intend to leave early. same with the simpsons from lost one....

good luck getting in to em man

I can't go this year (will be in Vegas).

But for anyone who has considered it, I suggest GOING. I went for the first time a couple years ago and I had NO idea I was in for something this fantastic. It certainly blew past my expectations for a "comic book convention" by a few country miles.
