How to prepare for battle (aka getting a ticket)

  • Read Matt’s coverage of the process : Comic Con Tickets: A Saga
  • Wake up early and refreshed; patience leads to victory
  • Have a few computers with a solid internet connection. This is a race, and you want to win.
  • Have the pages loaded up before registration goes live. Hit refresh when it’s time, and go from there.
  • Have your credit card and personal information on hand. You’ll only have one shot at this, don’t screw up.
  • Click here, and good luck

Now, why would anyone go to all this trouble for a ticket to a silly convention? Well it’s everything a nerd could possibly love under 1 roof. This video pretty much sums it up. Tipping my hat to Machinima for one of the only solid 2010 coverage videos that I could find.

Weekend Warrior: Holiday Edition

With Christmas less than a week away we here at Nerd Appropriate are more busy than Phillps (…zing). I had plans to write a few breathtakingly long intellectual articles filled with factoids and quotes from interesting people, but I figured I’d spare you all for now and just tell you what I’ve been up to this weekend.  Welcome to Weekend Warrior ™.

Networking: You’re Doing it Wrong

Based on my interactions with friends, students, and fans, at conventions, meetups, and in general social situations, I’ve come up with the following list of Dos and Don’ts for networking within the industry. While a lot of this is common sense, I’ve found that our field seems to be a place where enthusiasm (or general awkwardness) often trumps formality. If you’ve been looking for a push in the right direction – and want to ensure you’re seen as the potential colleague, rather than the creepy fan or friend-wannabe, check out the tips (inside).

    I still don’t know if I’m going to go…I really dont have the money but if I buy a ticket I’ll find the money.

    I was really hoping he’d play up his stereotype a bit more and wear the aviators throughout the entire piece.

      You should have seen some of the OTHER Comic Con 2010 high light videos. Trust me, this one is a gem.

    Just some clarification – because I wouldn’t want your readers to miss the actual ticket sales: SDCC 2011 tickets go on sale at 9am on Saturday, February 5. (Not the 9th, as your headline states.)
