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.
