@mrtonylee of Marvel UK has his finger on the button
For those of you hoping to acquire lodging downtown (or anywhere remotely in the vicinity) hotel registration opens a few hours from now. The online registration process has been upgraded this year, allowing users to que up for a hotel slot with priority given by time of visit. For full details, including the official list of participating hotels, hit the ComicCon hotel site, located here.
Follow the joy of victory and agony of defeat on twitter search as people invariably tweet about their hotel luck (or lack thereof).
UPDATE: several twitter users reported that ComicCon’s new hotel booking service, TravelPlanners, crashed under the load two minutes into the rush. It’s back up again, but EXTREMELY slow from all accounts.
It’s too bad the city wasn’t more supportive of this event. It really makes downtown happening.

Strange, this showed up in my Google reader on Saturday morning.
Travel planners’ new system is very slow, but it works. I got a room at the Mariott next to the Convention Center
