Anyone else still waiting for any kind of email...rejection, wait list, or confirmation? My wife and son both got emails yesterday but I'm still waiting. Trying to figure out at what point I call onPeak to be sure I didn't enter a bad email address.

I just called them and the very unkind operator informed me that the emails are still going out. I tried to tell her both the automated greeting when I called that phone number, and their tweet on Twitter, mentioned otherwise. She pretty much just wanted me off the phone.

This analysis makes the process sound worse than the usual "slam the server and fill out the form in under a minute" of previous years and honestly, less fair.

What a disappointing read. Too, in years prior, you'd rush to fill out your form and the faster you were the better you'd get, and it was fast or bust. But this year we had people with several windows open with different ids in different browsers & their incognito modes. I can't even imagine how many screens people had open this time. I hate this system.

Are there any hotel reservation trading threads going on?

My group struck out with the hotel lottery, but we're trying real hard to get something in the Gaslamp.

There's Reddit and friendsofcci.com but it's a sellers market right now. If you have a convention close hotel you are a supermodel looking for a lab partner

Thanks, already trolling the Reddit one hard. I'll check the second one out.

Kind of a huge bummer, my group has managed to stay in the Hyatt for the past 5 years; we're ok with something else in the Gaslamp, but staying a trolly ride away really impacts our ability to day drink and refill at the hotel room.

I'm even willing to pay someone for their DT reservation, but Reddit has a strictly give or trade only policy going on.

I guess I don't have enough email addresses because if this is anything like hotels, they let all the winners know yesterday and will let the losers know today. This would mean between ~15 email addresses spread across a decent group (4 people), none of us got poo poo.

Star Trek Beyond is having its world premiere at SDCC in outdoor IMAX. It'll be taking place at the park behind the convention center, the same park that had the Star Wars thing last year.

I will burn my dread.

I'm not sure if this is the thread for it, but some of us were talking about the NECA TMNT Arcade Game figures that are being released as SDCC exclusives. If anyone is going to SDCC and planning to already be going to the NECA booth to pick stuff up, if you can reach out to me via PM (or at cowise at gmail) and we can work something out for you to pick up both of these sets for me that would be very awesome.
