Comic-Con: Maybe Screwed

[jetpack_monkey]

So. I registered as press for Comic-Con this year, because it's actually important this year to do so (not that I wouldn't've anyway, but that's neither here nor there). There's some sort of serious delay getting press confirmations out, so I email them and they confirm that Classic-Horror has three registered as press, which is good, because we do, in fact, have three.

Then the exhibitors and panel people start emailing. Except they don't email me. They email midnightfae and airawyn. For a while, I think that they've just singled out the freelancer (airawyn) and the alphabetically superior editor (midnightfae). Except I'm still nervous, so I email them and ask about me specifically. They assure me that I am registered.

They email out the confirmations. Unlike normal registration, you *cannot* get into Con as press without your barcoded confirmation. Guess what? Everybody gets one but me. I even checked the email logs. Nothing arrived for me, not even to the wrong email address.

So I'm thinking that somehow they have the wrong email address for me. I've shot them an email about this, but there's a handy note on the confirmations that says that so close to the Con, they can no longer make alterations to our info or make any corrections. P.S. quantum_gazebo, we thought we'd take the time to delay the press confirmations to the very last minute to screw you over specifically. Take it, monkey boy.

*headdesk* I'll see what the press folks have to say in response to my email, but I'm a little panicked right now.

Meep! Fear not. I guarantee you we can get you a pass if they completely screw you over.

I'm going to need that Press Access, though. I'm signed on for at least three press events, plus I'm in Hall H Thursday and Saturday and I can't get in the Press Pit without the Pass.

After talking with my mother, I've decided that the best course of action is to see if they get everything cleared up beforehand, and if they can't, to not leave the Press table until it is (or I am forcibly removed, at which point expect me to go Oracle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Gordon)-like for the Con).

I would recommend printing all the emails you've written between the two of you so that you have proof of what Con told you.

Hopefully, though, that won't be necessary.

It's going to be okay. You'll get everything straightened out. I ditto the advice to print out all the emails.
