Comic-Con, San Diego

[blueerica]

Though I question my placement of this little gem in the Out on the Town forums...



Anyone else thinking/planning on going to Comic-Con this year? I'm giving some heavy consideration, though I won't know entirely how I feel about it until around mid-June-ish.

Just throwing my feelers out there, to see if I can justify yet another weekend doing fun things as opposed to buckling down and doing work, as I should be doing.

I want to go - just because it's been so damned long since I went to the big event, and I had a bunch of fun at the lil local one a few weeks back.

[blueerica]

Woah, that was a fast response.

I'll put you as a "yes"

Haha... Ok, there's nothing planned yet hehe...

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

I will be there as ususal. If you all are planing on staying down there, there are really no hotels left.

[blueerica]

Haha, already?

No, I'm not planning on staying there. I really only go for a day. With the camping trip, and a few other things, I really can't afford (monetarily and school-wise) knocking out both days in a weekend.

I am so there... we should plan a LOT meet up place ...

I know I should really want to go to Comic-Con, but I've never ever been to an NFFC Convention. Is anyone else going to this?

How do I answer this? I've been to NFFC conventions, and I have been to Comic-con..... more than a few times.
Who have I seen there..... Bornieo, Disneyphile and FrodoPotter, hmm.... who's spouse/partner is an artist.. I forget, but I met her last year, Mousewife and family, to the point that Mousewife's darling daughter, and now new husband were drafted onto my staff.

MousePod, Bornieo and myself are givens. I realize I just spoke for him, but thats the standard. (and the person who's name I cant remember)
I am sure that MW will show since I will be stealing her child again, otherwise its catch as catch can.

BlueErica, you want to come you let me know. if you need to crash in my room, you let me know. Its all good honey, I'll take good care of you. <evil laugh>

KatieSue.... I've never seen you there... I wonder if she attends.

[MouseWife]

Oh yes, Ponine has won over my Chickie and her new Hubby. My older son and his girlfriend heard how much fun it was and want to join the team. {currently he is having time off issues with his job....}

For almost my childrens' entire lives they've been to the CC. With the Hubsters' job it was convenient.

So was the Harvest Festival but they quit going to that years ago.

A meet would be great, I am hoping to go as well.

Oooo...who will be there, t.v. show/comic book wise???

That would be me. We're not going to have a table in Artist's Alley this year -- we are taking a break from that, maybe permanently. Hubby will be doing a few signings at the Dark Horse booth and that's it! Whoooo! So we're going mostly for fun and will be there Fri-Sun. Staying at the Hilton because we love that outdoor firepit area.

I've been going to this con since...1979? It was a little bit easier to navigate back then.
