And of course 5pm till 4am, I'll be in the Hyatt bar with my anti-homophobia banners to salve my guilty conscience.
And if you're still around on Monday morning, a very special event indeed. A Bleeding Cool breakfast, where you can pop by and tell me every little snippet of info you've come across. More details as I make them up…
Wednedsay Night Previews may now be the saviour of your Comic Con schedule though. From 6 until 9 they'll be showing many of the pilot TV shows being screened over the rest of the show. Including Human Target, V, Vampire Diaries and a preview of other shows,
That is if you're happy spending time watching telly instead of, you know, running round the show while it's still actually possible to run round it.
