Unfortunately, I don't think that I'll be able to make it. I really envy anyone here who can go.

I think it will be during Comic-con. A friend who lives in the SF Bay area is really split between which one she wants to do.

That might be a little bit difficult since, according to the article that I linked to, he doesn't come to the U.S. very often, and he doesn't even make very many public appearances.

I don't know if it's true or not, but according to this story, there's a rumor that Miyazaki might be at SDCC as part of the promotion for Ponyo:

That would make sense for Disney to have him there. And if true I will use my press badge, dealer badge, and every other tool at my disposal to get the opportunity to shake his hand.
