Gotcha. We're actually working that out right now.


For kids under 10 - it's free. FREE.

Adults, it will be $10.00 for a basic admission pass.

And we're working out the perks, but a VIP pass will be $15.00.
 
More on that shortly. As I said, we're working it out right now. ;-)


Just so I can get the word out, can I quote this along with the link you posted just earlier?

Yes.

You can use US dollars but if I were you I'd get it exchanged. The dollar is being traded at par so you'd save money if you exchange it.

Not sure if this has been answered yet, but where will the line up start? at the convention front doors?  Will there be poles or anything to denote where and what direction to line up?

The first person there can decide that.

I would suggest lining up to the LEFT of the admission doors. That's usually the way lines have gone with events at this place before.

But if security asks you to move - PLEASE make sure those that are in front of you - remain in front of you. No budding. No fights. Anyone caught doing either will not be permitted access to the Convention, and thus - will have no chance at the set of exclusives.

So have there been any more guests confirmed (comic writers, artists)? I believe you alluded to working on another guest or two, but haven't noticed any updates.

We were in talks with all of the following to appear:

Sgt. Slaughter
Rachel Nichols (Scarlett from Rise of Cobra)
Kene Holliday (Roadblock / 80-'s cartoon)
Ron Rudat
Larry Hama

I also contacted the agents for the voices of Flint, Duke, Lady Jaye, Shipwreck and Duke from Resolute. NONE of the agents returned my phone calls or emails.

From those, that did reply (from the above list) one has commitments he needs to keep, one wanted far too much $$$, one would come for free, but the cost for his wife and him, plus hotel, etc would cost more than Sarge would of. Another just "vanished", or rather, their agent "vanished",  and one persons Agent messed things up for everyone - including his client... and his client didn't seem happy when I spoke directly to him.

The problem with some of these people is the Agents. They decide what is good for their client, and most times, a convention isn't worth the agents time financially, even if the client would, and has done these things before.

I'm still looking into another guest, but with one week to go, if we can get him, it will be a last minute addition - so last minute that he may be a surprise at the Convention.

Hopefully something comes out of it quickly.

On the plus side, I do have a couple of those people "on the books" for next year - which I expect to be an even bigger event than we'll have one week from today!


You guys have no clue the hoops I've had to jump through the last 2 months.  ::)

Mike - we appreciate all the work you've done - no matter who shows up (can you set a Con Set aside if I'm late - kidding).

Besides, Mr. Hama was the number one guest that I would ever have wanted to see at any con.

Well, Rachel too, but for different reasons...

Mike, my hat is off to you for ALL the effort you put into this thing year after year, especially now that it's SO MUCH bigger.  Fantastic work putting together everything you've already told us about!
