I am new to the forums and was trying to find some posting about who is going to the con this year. I own a comic store but due to other obligations with the local Renaissance Festival, I will only be able to go on Friday. Who else is going?? Love to meet more CGS listeners at the con.

still planning on it, but it will depend on my getting a ride.
Hal Jordan is the OJ Simpson of the DC Universe, and I, apparently am the Norm MacDonald.

Unfortunately, that same weekend is Rock The Block, our local public radio station's fundraiser and a huge 400 person catering for us in addition to catering their 100 person VIP Lounge party (this was the event that kept me from SuperShow last time), and the Derby Demons (almost half my staff are DerbyGirls)have a match AND we have a Hungarian musician performing @ Gypsy all weekend in two sold out shows.

If I cancel Brunch on Sunday I can come out to the con. Otherwise I'll come by for the afterhours party. Pants' room right? smile.gif

Aw, yeah. Here we go! I'll be getting in on Thursday afternoon. Will be leaving Sunday night.

Lots of guests this year!!

Any suggestions for a gathering/dinner/bar scene? Lots of cool places in Monroeville, the Waterfront, and downtown.

What do yunz think?

I'll be there! I'm at table B in Artist Alley. I'll be selling The Guns of Shadow Valley preview book, back issues of Scar Tissue and Fiendish Fables, as well as prints and original sketches. Also, you can pre-order sketches from me, details in this thread.

Come on by and say howdy!

I won't be there. sad.gif

But I thought I'd pass along some important information for those of you who participate in the trivia contest:

The answer is "Professor Ivo" not "T.O. Morrow". Trust me on this one.

Right, Mario? wink.gif

Alright, folks. I talked to Jim and Shawn. Let's set a tentative food schedule. If yunz want to eat on Thursday, let us know in this thread. I am sure we can put something together.

Let's go to Mad Mex (Miracle Mile) on Friday and Primanti Bros. (Across from the con) on Saturday. I'll print up directions and drop them off at the CGS booth. I'll toss my number on 'em in case anyone gets lost or needs a ride to and from the convention.

Any additions, deletions, etc.?

How about New Jack Kirby? You'd have to get an early 90s haircut however...
