Many of you have asked me about the Comic Con situation and why SG has been banned. I am going to point you all to Missy's journal entry:
Missy's journal - June 25th
We do not yet know the outcome of all of this. I guess it is still up in the air as to how much of a presence SG will be making this year at SDCC. I am saddened by all of this because I so often promote and argue for Comic Con Conventions over all other companies.
In any case, it seems that SG needs to revise how we sell and promote at our booths. It would have been nice if ComicCon would have given us warning and then perhaps spoken with us about what changes need to be made in the future so that the Suicide Girls booth could remain there. I think they will find that our staff is very open-minded and more than happy to work out an agreement.
If not, then maybe SG will start doing DragonCon instead! (hahah...I can hope!) I love DragonCon and would love to have an excuse to go there each year. A workaholic through and through; I feel guilty taking "vacations" when there is no work involved.
Anyway....I just want to let you all know that I will still be attending SDCC this year. I actually buy my own pass and hotel room every year so that I have the freedom to come and go as I please. In fact, I was attending that convention for several years before I even started helping out at the SG booth (mostly due to shyness). But I am a sucker for panels and previews so I spend many hours a day in line for those. (especially last year....*grumble* stupid lines)
Soooo....I will still be there walking around and, I suspect, standing in lines. So feel free to come up and say "hi". I will sign things and take pics for anyone who asks.
Hopefully, there will be other SGs there as well. I will try to make up a list of who is still going as an attendee so you guys can keep an eye out for them!

How about Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle? DragonCon weekend has too many geek activities to choose between - DragonCon, PAX, and Burning Man....
