82 Days Until San Diego Comic-Con 2016

Oops…yesterday my post title indicated there were 84 days again when there were actually 83.  I went back and fixed it, but it was out there for 24 hours…oh well…it’s hard to keep track sometimes.

Today I am a bit upset about the fact that I didn’t get into the parking lottery.  As I mentioned the other day, I signed up with 3 different email addresses and thought I’d at least get into the lottery with one of them…nope.  All 3 struck out.  Hard to believe, but I guess I should just be happy I got tickets to all four days AND preview night this year…it’s worth dealing with the trolley for that.

But I don’t necessarily have to deal with the trolley – parking is being opened to the public on June 13th so after all the groups make their selections, the rest of us unlucky folks get a chance to make a made dash for the remaining spots.  That’s how I got parking last year, but I was hoping to know my situation earlier this time around.  Oh well, nothing is simple with Comic-Con anymore.
