The Programming Guide for the 2009 San Diego Comic Con has started to release finally! Below are all of the panels and signings I would like to attend in a perfect world. There is not enough time in the day to make it to all of these panels & I have a feeling that even if there was, panels I would like to go to would still be overlapped in time and on opposite sides of the convention center, etc… I know I will not make the majority of this long list of panels and signings, but at least you have an idea of what I am aiming for! If you plan to be at any of these panels/signings, lemme know! Feel free to say hi if you see me there!

As for night happenings, I never know what I will actually do for sure until the time comes, so we will see. I would like to be part of the Zombiewalk and attend the New Moon Podcast @ Borders but we will see what happens! I have also never been to Masquerade…even though every year I tell myself I will go. So we will see if I go this year and hopefully there will be good free advanced movie screenings this year. Last year was the only year in awhile that I missed screenings. Time will tell what happens!
