Comic-Con, San Diego

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.

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.

Hooray!! I knew you'd pipe up.
I belive that Mousewife's hubster was familiar with the convention with it was at the concourse.... Seems that is what I remember him saying.

This is my.... seventeeth con I think.... or eighteenth.... awww who cares.
How exciting that you get to go an have fin this year! And, you wont be stuck back in the corner! You get to get food whenever you want, and its way easier to tell someone, we'll be at Dark Horse than it is ... we're in AA 216.

MW- How glorious!!! I love new recruits!!! Esp ones that just want to work slave labor to get in for free!!!

Yes, it was the Hubster who mentioned the CC way back in the beginning.
And yes, there have always been people dressed up. Always. I can't remember all of the themes he said would show up but he said it was always interesting.

Oh yes, the Son and his girlfriend say they are interested in volunteering. I think he was a bit unsure last year but when he heard of all of the fun Jen and Tim had he and his gal want some of that.

Dang, seventeenth or eighteenth??? Wow, to you.

1979? I remember meeting him at the 1977 Phil Seuling convention. My dad took me (I was 11). He signed a show program for me. I was thrilled. Ah memories.
