And there's some sort of Comic-Con brochure called "Around the World" that has information about each booth - under the Fox booth, it says which tv show casts will be signing on which days at that booth. Bones is listed for Friday. Snow – Bones has a panel in Ballroom 20 beginning at 3pm or 3:15pm.

San Diego hasn't had predominant chinatown for decades. But it suppose to be around K Street and Market. I wouldn't say its a site to see. ChinaTown? think your thinking of San Francisco.

I double-commented because it's also applicable to this post) For a first timer attending the Con, I had my schedule for panels all planned out and then I really thought about what I was doing and decided to ask for some advice (hopefully this is the right place). I'm only able to go on Friday and I originally planned on going to the Bones and Dollhouse panels in Ballroom 20, in addition to picking up my limited edition Dollhouse DVD. So my plan was to get in, rush straight to the line for Ballroom 20 and sit through whatever was going on until we got to the Bones and Dollhouse panels. After the panels I was then going to pick up my DVD and any other free items I could round up in the Exhibition Hall. However, this weekend I learned that the Exhibition Hall closes at 7pm, which would make my post-panels trip impossible to do. Then I thought about it, and what I'm really interested in is getting autographs and pictures with the stars of Bones and Dollhouse. I highly doubt that they would do autographs in Ballroom 20, right? There's too many people for that. On the 'Around the World' schedule that was released, it says that Bones and Dollhouse casts will be among the people signing at the Fox booth in the Exhibition Hall. Does that mean that I should just ditch all the panels I had originally planned on seeing and just hang out at the Fox booth until the cast of stars I want to see shows up to sign autographs? Sure, sitting in a panel with Joss Whedon would be amazing, but I've already seen Epitaph One and I'm sure someone will record the panel and put it on YouTube. I know that sounds very conceited and selfish, but this is my first time and I'd like to get myself as close to getting an autograph and/or picture as possible. So for those of you that are experienced Con attenders, is this a smart plan or something very stupid that will ruin my whole experience? I need all the help and advice I can get. Many thanks in advance! -KEG (This is the same comment as the Exhibition Hall Tips post. I double-commented because it’s also applicable to this post)
