If nothing else, the pre-reg experience makes for an interesting story.

I did. The trip was free of incidents, although we were stuck on the plane for a short time when we landed in Detroit. Seems that we arrived 15 minutes early and they weren't ready for us.

That's great.

If I can get over, I'll be sure to track you down.

That I don't doubt.

KNX in Los Angeles says that Comic-Con will stay in San Diego through 2016 at least. There had been rumors it would relocate to either Los Angeles or Las Vegas.

I read about that, too. LA's pros would be that it's near Hollywood and Burbank and that it's in a location that isn't too hot on average (though not as cool as the Gaslamp/Marina areas of Downtown San Diego). Not sure about the safety of the part of L.A. their convention center is, and I'm not sure their convention center is large enough. LVCC is massive, and Vegas has large selection of hotels. LV's cons would be the 110+ desert heat, not good for those wearing large costumes or those that want to spend some time outdoors. There are concerns that membership badges could skyrocket higher in price. Also, probably not the best place to be, if you don't want to gamble or anything. Anaheim was also another candidate. Love the area, but Disneyland being so close, and the hotel choices are spread out, and I wish there would be a light rail system in the city. For San Diego, I've said it many times, they need to really improve on accommodating more people.
