“Continuity you weren’t expecting”. Coined by Peter at the Comics Weblog at San Diego Comic-Con– which oddly enough, none of the celebrity bloggers are blogging now.
Yes, I’m cheating, I had to wait till I got back to my room. I stopped paying $4.95 an hour for connectivity when AOL went to an all-you-can-download plan.

I didn’t mention this at the panel, but I’ve been using that word for like, 20 years or so. It’s like a locust– periodically it crops up to enchant a new generation.
Anyway, I’ll take credit for ebayables.
There are bars aplenty in the Gaslamp – IIRC, the one closest to the convention center would be Moose McGillicuddy’s, but I could be mistaken.
If you’re going for food during the day, Horton Plaza has a sizeable food court. After that, there is a McDonald’s outside Horton. For that matter, the Ralph’s, about four blocks away from the convention center, has a 24-hour deli, with some darn good sandwiches, as well as being a fully-stocked grocery store (which, in CA, means you can buy booze there, too! 🙂 ). The nearest BK is at 10th and B, which is more of a drive than a walk – don’t know if any of the buses ran by there, but it’s also near the trolley line (get off at the City College stop). There’s also a Wendy’s about half a mile away, on Broadway, and a Jack-In-the-Box at 11th and C (City College stop again). The Carl’s Jr, Taco Bell, KFC, and Santana’s are all a little further away (although driving to Santana’s is recommended – killer food!).
See? All you really needed to do was ask if anybody here was from Insane Diego, and you get the hook-up! 🙂
BID. Just want to say, If that is ‘THE’ Heidi M.–I really enjoy your column in CBG.
