Today’s Comic-Con Countdown Notes

* For no particular reason other than perhaps being a butt (I'm kidding; I always do this for my own use), I took the Comic-Con International programming and boiled it down to comics-only events. A positive trend in recent years is that they seem to be making a greater point of balancing their programming, which for most people means their favorite TV show panel is on a Thursday instead of a Saturday but for me it means the opposite: a greater likelihood for hardcore comics nerd programming on Saturday. Hooray!

* Here's my wonderfully abbreviated panel schedule, which sort of makes it sounds like I planned it that way. I'm just not very popular, like some people are. And by popular I also mean insane.

* Remember, CCI thinks they're likely to sell out of at least one day and potentially all four, which is totally going to screw anyone who wants to come last minute, doubly so since traditional ways to snag an extra pass like exhibitors putting in for ones for "Moe Howard" and "Deanna Durbin" or people lying and saying they're press have tightened up as well. So do any pre-registering you can now, and tell your friends, too.

* As expected, hotel rooms are being released, particularly for Wednesday and Thursday night.

* The final section of this site's CCI Guide continues to grow, with a section on computers I forgot and a bunch of reader suggestions, so if you haven't read it since the first day, you might want to take another peek.

* I'm not going to seek them out or even specifically solicit for them, because CR's not really a hype vehicle, but anyone who sends me their CCI-related PR will be included in this post featuring CCI-related PR at the top of the heavily-trafficked letters section. What do you have to lose?
