Not Likely

 * - I'll be at SDCC, but it's unlikely that I could go. This overlaps with a panel I'm on. Doczilla  @SUPERHEROLOGIST 06:44, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Panel what about..? :-D --Peter aka Vid2vid (talk) 07:28, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

 * It was about time travel, "140-Odd Years of Looking at the Future" with Greg Bear, David Brin, and Larry Niven. Doczilla  @SUPERHEROLOGIST 06:26, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * &lt;--plans to attend this Edit-a-thon! I already had this in my phone calendar from having signed up via MeetUp.Com here. (My original rsvp was 15:58, 17 June 2019 (UTC), but then I moved it from Likely to a new category "Going / Will Attend," on following date: -Peter Vid2vid (talk) 23:44, 1 July 2019 (UTC))
 * Sorry all, I'm unable to attend this :( .. I had issues at home printing my parking pass, got late start from UTC, then parked too far from SDPL to make it over from Comic Con on time. I hope it was fun! What was discussed? (Bonus question: Any way if I'm signed in to WP for it to always convert all UTC TZ's to PT transparently?) Peace. -Peter aka Vid2vid (talk) 21:39, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
 * and banner looks great but ummm, does it have a section in raised Braille? :P --Peter aka Vid2vid (talk) 00:51, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
