Reporting San Diego will not Cover Comic-Con
BY NADINABBOTT on FEBRUARY 12, 2016 • ( 4 )

Feb 12, 2016 (San Diego) We just got news from San Diego Comicon that press passes were denied. We provided them all they requested and included copies of the City of San Diego issued press credentials. Yes, we are press.
We know people enjoy the coverage, but we are not going to pay to cover news and give Comicon essentially free advertisement. If you value the coverage, maybe customers can contact Comicon on behalf of the paper.

This is an outrage. She has a press pass, a Good Rig, ESL, a website, and everything.
Many of us have depended on nadin for all our Comicon coverage for years.
I think I caught a whiff of Skimmer working behind the scenes to arrange this insult.
This cannot be allowed to stand!
-
Maybe the intelligent and responsible people that run Comicon got a whisper and finally took a look at your ridiculous blog and decided that you are an unhinged idiot. Suck it nadin.

In two or three days we'll get a bouncy that it was because of peanut allergies, and her choice of footwear.

Yes, we are press.
Ummm, no. You're a shitty little blog that no one reads.

They must've seen her pulitzer award winning jeep review

Can't she get in as a villainous character? She can just dress the way she normally does. Maybe call herself "The Oblate Spheroid."

?! Has any of your past coverage been negative?

Nope. But there are rumors on the internet that they want to keep local area folks out. No sin off my nose. I get to stay home, unless there is a major story around it. And that might not be positive either.
"sin off my nose" = :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

well, I like the things that the con does that have not one thing to do with Game of Thrones, which was always our angle, and never that well known. For example, the history convention that went on the side, or the writing convention.
<<<am sure Roger and bea are creations of the cousin, to make it seem as if this is provoking interest.

:rotf: :loser: The Comicon people probably looked at her picture, thought she was dressed up to look like Jabba the Hutt had offspring with an Ewok, and turned her down for her lame costume. :loser: :rotf:

I'm betting that way too many bloggers figured out the Nadin scam and went for FREE press passes too.
Suck it, nads

Let's see...worldwide press attention for the premier entertainment/media event in the United States, check. Journalists from all over the world excited to provide meaningful coverage to new and curious audiences, check.
Meanwhile, a local, stringy, dumpy weeble-wobble who probably hoovers up all the press freebies wants access so she can provide coverage to East County shut-ins who haven't spent a nickel on entertainment since they discovered xhamster.
Someone at Comic Con is getting it right, I must say.

I've restarted my blog with mostly posts about running and races ... I wonder how many posts it would take to try to nadin my way into races free. Nawwwwww, I'm too honest to do crap like that.

I thought that was a 'Pulverizer' prize.
But, of course, you can see why I made such a mistake.

Another possibility would be a spontaneous fire breaking out and burning tons of comic books. Fortunately nads will have the fire gear ready to go by coincidence

You're on to something. gNads may be on San Diego County's Watch List, given all of those fires she "covered".

They are definitely aware of her, the strange coincidence of her witnessing so many fires from her patio last year hasn't gone unnoticed.

Forgive my ignorance; I've never attended a "con" thing.
One has to pay admission, and that's what she's hoping to get out of, with a press pass?
Does one have to pay very much in admission?
When I was manager of a privately-owned student union, the place had lots of fantasy game "cons" (this was during the late 1980s, early 1990s), but I don't recall anyone charging admission.

Some of those conventions sell out of their tickets pretty quickly, and others can be pretty expensive.

So that's her main bitch then, that she has to pay to get in?
Damn, what a tightwad. She doesn't want to spend money for anything, including the pocket change for gasoline to get down and see what's going on in Ensenada, which is practically within walking distance of San Diego.

It depends on a lot of factors but I know the prices are steep, like $75.00 - 125.00 for a day pass, and the lines are huge.

Thanks for the information, sir.
But I'm getting the impression the cousin is so tight she probably charges her own elderly mother motel rates when visiting them in San Diego, seventy-five bucks a night or something to sleep on the bed in the guest room.

Ugh! Her guest room is probably where she keeps the parrot cage in that tiny, bird-shit-encrusted apartment.
Damn it, she took down her parrot cage picture.
I hope someone saved it - it should be a DUmp classic.

I checked out the admission prices for this years SDCC. It runs from the 20th of July to the 24th. Boy, I can see why Nads was trying for the press pass.
These prices are for each day of the con:
Wednesday - $40
Thursday, Friday and Saturday - $55 per day
Sunday - $40
Didn't see anything regarding an event pass that covers admission for the entire con though. Every con I've been to usually has something like that.

Since I go to cons either as a person who does displays for my model club or now for my own Facebook page I can tell you it can get expensive for those of us on an income of less then 15K . I doubt that El Guapo is making that low of an income in California with a retired Navy enlisted man to be married to. As an example I went to Archon 39 this year and for three days at the con it cost me $70.00 dollars just for that alone and there was only one named person headlining I knew. Harlan Ellison a long time Science Fiction writer who I met once before. With room and food just add double or triple the cost depending on when and where you eat. Then add more for buying into the dealers room to get anything from Books to Moldels to Props and Costumes. So with all that at Archon that still wouldn't touch the cost to cover going to San Diego Comic Con because it is in five separate hotels and they have 30 to 40 or more guest from TV and Movies and as has been pointed out is a huge media event.
I am betting she wanted the press pass to either get a discounted rate of admission and to get close to any celebs she could and they figured that her daily blog and that fish wrapper she works for are not enough to help them put. Sorry but that's just the way Cons work . They all have to make money to keep themselves going for the next one a year later. Sorry But we all knew that you were not important enough to cover the local brush fires and now the SDCC has figured it out too.

My son's and I tried to attend a few years ago, we arrived at 8am but the line for tickets was so ridiculously long that we just left. The only way to get in is to buy tickets from a scalper at crazy prices, or camp out with a bunch of sketchy nerds and be near the head of the line.
-
Damn it, she took down her parrot cage picture.

Yeah, this is my serious plea, if someone saved that image. We need it for the archives, as it fits in well with NJCher's bowl of stew, Big Mo's tattoos, the exterior of the sparkling old dude's house all lit up in Christmas finery, kpete's digs, the lioness primitive's dirty filthy kitchen, among other classics.
-
It's truly sad if nadin's photo of her shit-encrusted parrot cage has been lost.
It was hilarious because she had no idea of how it would be perceived by normal people.
Isn't there some way to retrieve old deleted DUmp posts?

Here "website" is a Wordpress blog with a domain name pointed at it. Didn't she say in a post on DU that she asked her editor to remove something false and she claimed her editor refused? Looks like she is her own editor.

Mostinko is probably jealous as it is no doubt still cleaner then her rat infested chicken coop truck.

WTF? I've never owned any pet birds, but I'd guess the bird seed my wife puts out for wild birds is healthier than the crap she was feeding that poor bird. Lego Waffles and chocolate chip cookies? Chocolate is is poisonous to birds just like it is to dogs and cats. Stupid bitch should never be allowed to have another pet. :rant:

Wow! I hadn't noticed the chocolate chip cookies toward the right side of the cage! OTOH, I just noticed that the Lego fragment to the left of the bowl with the Corn Chex is either growing fur, or was a blueberry waffle. And then there's the wall behind the cages ... Gahhhh---ROSSSSSSS!

Besides poisoning the poor bird, she was starving it to death by feeding it empty calories.

The what? I think you mean "my online foray into illiteracy."

In their native Norwegian fjords, these parrots seek out Eggo trees during months when the waffles are ripe.
But are we sure that's a parrot?
With that beak, it looks more like a dyed crow or a mutant seagull.
(And thanks to the wizard who retrieved this classic from the digital ether. It deserves as much exposure as NJCher's puke stew, or Pantano in his tutu.)

If that was the bird's diet, I can only imagine how terrible nadin's is.

When she gets hungry, she just steps over to the bird cage, picks up a piece of waffle, and cracks open a can of milk.

nadin claims to be intolerant to all dairy products, they mess with her tummy.

Yeah, like Ms. Hindenberg, the defrocked warped primitive.
The primitives are funny this way, though; they're "allergic" to things good for them, but not allergic to things bad for them, such as chocolate or sugar.

After Fukushima, she and that retired nuclear sub skipper exchanged knowing nods at the supermarket as they loaded their carts with shelf-stable milk.
Only they were wise enough to anticipate the nuclear disaster that would soon descend on California.

Even if it were squeaky clean...The husband has a choice. The bird doesn't. Just imagine what that poor bird is stuck listening to. First it listens to her, then it hears itself mimicking her instinctually, even when she isn't around. If I were that bird, I'd have a high-speed head on with a wall, on purpose like.

In the infamous filth-pic there is a second cage next to the one more or less in the center of the pic. And the filth between the cages flows out of both cages.
