you know, one of the reasons we quit going was due to my fear of chaos erupting in the con while i was there with my family. with 2 kids, its not only tough enough keeping an eye on them every moment, but, imagine if some $hit went down inside there, say, on saturday? who knows how many lives would be lost in the mad dash out of the convention center, flooding into downtown. this is a sad story. even with all the traffic and law enforcement officers they do have working the con, accidents are bound to happen.

I really hope nothing like that ever happens at the show. My wife and I have been bringing our kids with us since they were born. Its definitely a challenge to keep an eye on them at all times and the crowds can get to be a little much.

Yeah, those with badges are all channeled in through a staging system as the doors open. Once things get going its easy to go in/out as you please. Some of the best pics I ever took at SDCC were of the thousands of people standing around nuts to butts waiting to get in. Good luck.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Whew... I would have loved to be at the Con, but I don't know if I can handle the crowds, the whole time
