I love these comics. I wonder if Paola will get a table.

This is pretty much how Comic-con ticket buying and hotel registration goes.

I wonder how she'll destroy her computer - and damage her house - this time. Laughing

There are 3 AA registrations:
1. Casual sign up
2. Lightening speed sing up
3. Why bother signing up because because of con bureaucracy you won't get in.

I feel your pain. This past weekend was Comic Con ticket registration. I'm not gonna rant about that. However hotel registration should go better. Good luck Paola!

I just want to say kudos to whoever came up with "Daikon".

That's such a good multilingual pun.

To Sameulp:

I'm pretty sure that Daikon is already a real convention, it's the name of the convention that Gainax's earliest unpublished animations were aired at (try looking up Daicon IV on youtube).

Oh yeah!

I knew that!...

But I'm not sure Daicon was ever meant as a pun with Daikon (the radish) in the original intent, since it was formed by taking the first letter of Osaka ("大”="dai") and adding in the con from convention. The year before was "Tokon" cause it was in tokyo... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihon_SF_Taikai

Whereas "Daikon" in ANN Nina is obviously just supposed to be a parody of the Japanese-word + "con" naming conventions of anime cons that happens to also just mean radish.

Aw, poor Paola, hopefully she'll get a table this time. In the meantime, enjoy netspace, Paola! Maybe she can hack into the system and sign up for Artist Alley. Wink
