Late In The Game CCI Socializing Tip

USA Today pop culture blogger Whitney Matheson sent out e-mails to me and a lot of other folks to promote her Saturday afternoon CCI meet-up in San Diego. That's July 26, for those not calendar savvy.

I mention it here not because I'm a nice guy who wants to start posting everyone's get-togethers but because a) like the CBLDF party on Thursday night, it's an away-from-convention-center social event to which everyone is invited, so it might appeal to folks who, like me, might not know about or get invited to all the Thursday and Saturday night publishing, agency and Hollywood parties, and b) it takes place during the show but is being advertised and promoted in conjunction with the show. I think this will be a big part of future San Diego cons if the attendance remains high. For instance, I bet in the next few years we see off-site supplementary events from publishers, particularly those that don't necessarily attract the plan-six-months-in-advance crowd.

In fact, I'm sort of surprised no one's yet tried to put together a not-the-con but near-the-con alternative event, a Slamdance to CCI's (Super-)Sundance. I know I'd go to a cool event at the Marriott or Hilton that honored my CCI badge, and I could even get some local pals or LA friends to go that had no chance or desire to get a CCI badge proper.
