WHAT TIME IS THE WALK?
The walk starts at 6:00PM sharp.
WHAT TIME ARE WE MEETING?
Please show up to the meeting point between 5:00PM and 6:00PM.
If you would like help with makeup, please bring your makeup and application instruments (brushes, etc.) with you and show up closer to 5:00PM. Makeup takes at least 20-30 minutes to complete in most cases, so it's better that you show up early. Also, if you can HELP with makeup, please show up early :)
WHERE ARE WE MEETING?
We will be meeting at Marina Park, next to Seaport Village. Please do not confuse this for the park directly behind the Convention Center. See the map below for the exact location.
WHAT IS THE ROUTE WE ARE TAKING?
- We will be walking from Marina Park, through the center of Seaport Village, up Kettner Blvd. and then turning right, onto Harbor Drive.
- From Harbor Drive, we'll be turning left, onto Front Street and then making a right, onto Market Street.
- We'll walk one block up Market Street, where we'll be making a left onto 1st Avenue.
- We'll walk up First Avenue and then veer right, through the open-air area of Horton Plaza.
- We'll exit Horton Plaza onto Broadway.
- We'll make a right onto Broadway and walk along Broadway until we get to Fifth Avenue.
- At Fifth Avenue, we'll be making a right onto Fifth.
- We will continue down Fifth Avenue, straight to the Convention Center.
There is a PDF file of parking lots around the area, on the Comic-Con website, located here.
The closer to Marina Park/Seaport Village that you can find parking, the better. It's best that people see as few zombies as possible before the walk, for obvious reasons.
The parking lot directly next to Marina Park has metered parking until 6PM. It is 25 cents for 15 minutes and has a maximum limit of 2 hours ($2 for 2 hours). After 6PM, the lot is unmetered and has no time limit. The lot does close at 10PM, though. This may also be the situation with the lots at Seaport Village. I will check before the walk and let you guys know (unless someone else already knows for sure?)...
DO I NEED TO PURCHASE A PASS FOR COMIC-CON?
You do NOT need to purchase a pass to Comic-Con to participate in the walk.
If you are planning to go to Comic-Con that day, it is highly advised that you buy your passes NOW, though. You can purchase them here.
HOW CAN I SPREAD THE WORD?
There are links to our banners in this blog entry.
WHERE SHOULD I RSVP?
We ask that you please RSVP as soon as possible, as we really need to get an accurate headcount for the walk. You can RSVP here.
