I just finished looking at the programming guide for Comic Con 2008 and have already picked out a few panels/breakout sessions that I will definitely be attending. There are a couple more that I haven't decided on but I've put them on my "we'll see if I have time to go" list. Since I have less than a week to go before I get to celebrate my own personal Christmas, here is my tentative schedule based on the programming guide.
THURSDAY: 7/24/08
6AM - 6:30AM: Get to the Convention Center for choice parking
6:30AM - 10AM: Picture time!!!
10AM - 10:45AM: Exhibit floor and more Picture time - Quick scan of what's on display and who's exhibiting
10:45AM - 11:25AM: Reinventing the Page: Stan Lee and Grant Morrison Talk Virgin Comics (Ballroom 20) - Stan Lee. 'Nuff said!
11:30 - 1PM: 20th Century Fox: The Day the Earth Stood Still and Max Payne (Hall H) - Two upcoming movies. One based on the 1951 classic, the other based on the video game. Keanu Reeves stars in "Day" and may make an appearance. Mark Wahlberg is Max Payne and will definitely be at the convention with co-stars Mila Kunis and Ludacris.

8:30PM - 11:30PM: Comic Con 2008 Masquerade Party (Sails Pavilion) - The last time I attended this party was in 1997. If I am not exhausted, I am going to try and make it to this year's masquerade. My costume? Mild-mannered photographer.
SUNDAY: 7/27/08 KID'S DAY
I will not be going to Kid's Day because I don't have a pass and I want a day to recover before having to drag myself back to work on Monday.
