UPDATE!!! I've just been informed that there are bathrooms INSIDE HALL H itself! This should make it easier to go to the bathroom and get your seat, though you may still need someone to watch your stuff. :)

There is a bathroom pass you can get to leave and re-enter the room, but it won't guarantee you keep your same seat. If you have a friend with you, take turns using the bathroom pass. If you are going by yourself, make friends with the person seated next to you in the Hall. I always believe it's best to make new friends anyway - offer your seat neighbor a snack or to return the favor if they'll watch your stuff. Usually people know what you went through to get that seat in the first place, and will help you out. If no one seems to want to help, change seats while you can and find someone who will.

Usually the parking structure at the convention center opens 1-2 hours before events begin for the day (so around 8 AM). I have posted the question to @SDCCPark on Twitter to get an official answer, however. Stay tuned.

The competitive pricing at the convention comes from multiple vendors who will be trying to get your business. Most of these booths will include tax in the sticker price, so as to alleviate time consuming calculations (after all, there are usually a lot of people trying to buy things. It makes it easier if they set the price ahead of time). However, you will find that you can haggle with some of the retailers, particularly as you get close to the end of the convention on Sunday. For some mint or hard to find items, you may not be able to get a lower price, but it never hurts to ask. You don't always have that luxury on the internet either.

I do mention some strategies for finding out about evening activities in last year's guide. Let me also direct you to another valuable resource: I do mention some strategies for finding out about evening activities in last year's guide. Let me also direct you to another valuable resource: http://sdccblog.com/offsite-events-2010/ That link will take you directly to their page detailing off-site events taking place through the con weekend. This looks like a good place to find parties, special events, movie screenings, etc that you might be interested in attending. As for some of the "big" parties - they are usually for media and professionals, but there are some chances to win passes to some of these parties through participating websites, most notably those who sponsor the "Masters of the Web" panel -- they give away tickets to the Wrath of Con party every year to attendees of the panel. You may find more chances for these kind of opportunities on their websites also.

As I said last year, it's all about strategy. If you want to avoid the masses of Hall H...don't go there. Seriously. I went to Hall H for ONE event last year, and I know a lot of people who never set foot in that room once. If you are going to panels that are important to you and they are in Hall H, you're going to deal with some madness. Keep in mind that's exactly what the "Twilight" fans are doing - planning for the one thing they are there to really see. Call them crazy, but they are committed. You have to be too, if you are going to be successful.
