When you say the official list, do you mean the list in the exhibitor area of the website? Or have you got a different list from Justin? The one on the website pegs Dayfree in 1233/1235 and Red vs. Blue in 1231. Flight is listed as being in 1128/1130/1132/1134, which is close, but about two aisles away.

Yes, this is a temporary map. And yes, this is subject to change, but it is this years and it's fairly accurate. I asked where I was because I didn't see myself here and I'm not with Image this year. The answer is that they put my booth over near Marvel, Image and DC. I'm over with the major comics publishers it seems. So I can stop panicking. I have my booth. They just didn't put me with webcomics. According to the official list, that Red vs. blue stuff is wrong. I see that one side is Flight(Random house) and the other side is day free press.

I don't think they've even started cashing people's booth cheques. All the info I've gotten about the size of our booth had to come directly from the exhibits manager by hounding him personally. Originally they told me that booth placements would be announced in December, and then in December they told me mid-January. In mid-January they told me "soon," and that things had fallen a bit behind. I'm thinking they rushed this "subject to change" layout in unfinished form just to get something out there. After all people are supposed to be making hotel reservations right now! I don’t think they’ve started mailing out packets yet. I don’t think they’ve even started cashing people’s booth cheques.

But neither myself, Penny-Arcade or Blank Label have recieved their packets from San Diego yet. Has anybody? Chris have you? I was told by the lady handling my GOH stuff this year that packets would go out well after hotel stuff (which was this week). Okay, so guys…I don’t know what is going on, with this.

I think Comic-Con's exhibit floor space needs to be expanded to the entirety of the city of San Diego for us to ever get more than two 10x10s.

But in the past, the tentative map has been accurate of the final layout of our particular chunk of the floor. It is a tentative map that’s still subject to change, though.
