Sounds great guys! Thanks for handing out the flyers! ;-)

Glad to help, Mike!

Saw Scramble today, and the show was great. I had tons of fun and even got Herb Trimp to put write : "Major H. Trimpe" on my MOBAT. Now, that's priceless ( because I'm keeping it.

I also got a Boba and Greedo signed figure signed by respective fellow actors Jeremy Bullock and Maria de Aragon! Everyone was so nice, so the day was a great success.

Thanks to all those that came ( even If I didn't see you )

Good stuff!  My buddy got his Marvel Universe Hulk signed by Lou Ferringo and his Tales of the Bounty Hunter novel signed by Jeremy Bullock.  Herb Trimpe was really nice to me, like the last time I met him.  Very modest and laid back.  I explained to him how much I enjoy his art on the GI Joe books, and that I was disappointed when his run ended.

He signed Special Missions #1, Transformers #11-12 [his first 2 issues], and Backissue #28, which features an article about him and an interview, plus some of his art.

Jose Holder is so awesome.  At the last Comic Con, he drew me a Snake-Eyes sketch, his first time drawing a G.I. Joe character!  This time, he drew me a Storm Shadow in the same art style and pose so that they are facing off against each other, Snakes dodging backwards defensively and Stormy leaping forward, attacking.  I have to frame these and mount them on my wall!

This was a much bigger comic con than I've seen before in Montreal. I really like the direction the con's heading, although the price increase was discouraging.

LatinJoe22, always good to see you.

Typical, I read this the day after it ends. Ah well, my punishment for not visting more often. How many of these are there here per year?

There are usually 2 per year, one in the winter and one in May.  But this was the biggest one yet, lasting 2 days with bigger guests, and in September!

I attented the Spring Comic Con. It was not good at all in terms of program. And It felt empty. This one was a total experience the first day, and managed to pull through very well the second day to my surprise ( I was expecting way less people but no  ).

The secret formula to a Convention's success is the program, and of course, the variety of Guests. The admission may have increased from 6$ to 10$, but hey this time around there was a ton of guest attendance, comic book artists, actors and well known personas from the entertainment industry.

I wouldn't complain about the cover charge increase at all even if it was obviously important this year, but one musn't forget that it just had to follow with the improvement of the program. At the last Con, I felt that I got ripped off paying 6$ and not really doing much but buying, and buying. This time the 10$ admission was well worth it as I got various memories to cherish from it and took some pics with cool people, a few Celebrities and a swarm of nobody's like me! :wink:.

Just kiddin', I am somebody and so are you , Yo-Joe!

I completely agree.  This was the biggest and greatest comic con yet.  I can't wait see where they take it from here!

[Scramble]

It was the combination of parking and admission that made the day expensive. $20 just to go to the con hurts my attendance and the possibility of my wife attending. Sure, the celebrities were better, but seeing Honky Tonk Man sitting by his lonesome or Lou Ferrigno charge $30 a signature didn't make the day any better. Mike Alred, on the other hand, very much did.
