I promise to wear my cape and goggles.

I'd make it if I could. Sadly it has been predetermined that my budget/schedule does not stretch. If you meet anyone from 2000ad say hi from me.

I shall try to, if I can find them.

...
At the door, Weekend passes are $65, Friday passes are $40, Saturday passes are $45, and Sunday passes are $40.

If you guys venture out of the Javits center at any point, I may be able to hang out. I can't afford a pass, though.

Don't think I can make it that weekend, but I'll keep my eye on this post.

I honestly am too broke even spare the cash to go to the actual convention, but I'll keep my eye on this space as well and if there's any extra-ComicCon meetups to be planned I'll see if I can make it. Though I'm 94.889% sure I agreed to go see Tokyo Police Club on the 20th.

I'm pretty disappointed about missing out on the Con though, because I'll miss out on [OMFG]MikeMignola[OMFG] and making it two for two on "turn into a giddy blubbering mess in front of Grant Morrison."

Oh, and I forgot to mention, it'd have to be after 6. No idea if that changes anything

I mean to say after 6 for me. Gah. Not expressing myself well/

I'm signing at the BOOM! booth all three days, but FRIDAY's booked up and SATURDAY I've got evening meetings with publishers plus chicanery planned all day and SUNDAY I head back.

So I'll be there, but mostly as a strange, spectral presence.

(Oh, and if you wanted to stalk me, here's the flyer.)

I was just trying to stalk you, but it turns out you're not the Boom! guy I've met (Fall of Cthulhu Boom Guy)

That's Michael Alan Nelson, who is a fantastic gentleman. I'm the guy what wrote some shorts, remixed some things, and scripted Cover Girl.

I also roast a mean chicken.

so, um...anything get decided with this? Do we have a time date or location outside Javits, or are you all just gonna try to meet up in there?

Hows it going there? CBR seem to have some pretty good coverage.
