Thanks, TJ and bettie.

I have Thurs/Sun, while my husband has Sunday only, so we were really hoping for Press approval this year. Last year, I wasn't too upset about it because we had 4 day + PN. This is the first year we haven't had all 4 days. Well, at least now we have an answer, so we can start planning properly.

I guess that just means that you'll have to do some awesome offsite coverage for your blog!

That sucks, Violet, especially with so little time before the event. :(

So sorry Violet. Hang in there. I know it took me 3 tries  before I finally got approved. Hope you can get some great coverage on the offsite events. I know last year there were a ton of cool things. The Comedy Central stuff looked like a lot of fun. Keeping fingers crossed for you for next year.

Anyone else "not due" this year, register for the badge, and then receive an email approving them last week due to their outlet sending in their name? On the Member ID login, it's showing me not registered and took off one of my outlets (the one I didn't receive an email approval last week), but according to the Expo Logic Online Press Registration, I'm registered already. I emailed, but I'm still waiting for a response. Last thing I want is to find out too late that there's something wrong with my registration.

EDIT: Heard back, everything's all set. (So if anyone else had the same thing happen, don't freak out.)

Still down.  Last night it would not take the password or ID.  So hopefully soon.

Don't know if any others are international. Just received my barcode email from CCI with the instructions for press badge pick up for international attendees. Looks like they will use the Industry Registration scanning station in Lobby D. I already have my barcode email packed in my camera bag. Son and I leave on Monday for LAX and then the following Monday into San Diego. Just waiting on more press room emails. Seems like they are super slow this year. I guess the 4th of July holiday had a lot of folks out of office (at least I hope so). I remember last year having a lot more emails by this time before con. Good luck to all! May the con force be with you all and positive replies for press rooms!!
