Alright, Greer, I'll try to stop by and say 'hello' on Sunday.

Seems like Baltimore is a popular con for people here. Is that because of how great the guest list is or just how well run and comic-orientated it is to begin with?


In my case it's because I live in the DC area and it's within driving distance... :-)

Can't afford a proper weekend this year (minimizing temptation as much as anything) but I'll be there tomorrow.

Yeah. It's relatively close for me, as well. Less than a two-hour drive.
 
And it generally IS very comic-oriented, without a lot of other media distractions. But, this year, they're featuring a handful of TV/movie celebrity guests...with comic book/fantasy ties, to be sure...but still. I hope they continue to keep it to a minimum.

I can't come down too hard, as I plan on getting a photo with and signature from Hayley Atwell, and also attending her spotlight panel.

But also, I have things I'd like to get signed by Neal Adams, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, Walt Simonson, Ron Wilson, and others...

...and I'll be thumbing thru some back-issue boxes. Nothing in particular I'm looking for...

Owen,
Fan Expo Toronto is huge.
Matter of fact it's gotten so big that I've refrained from going the last few years, and I had gone 17 years in a row, but the lines got to me and I tapped out.

It's always a great show with excellent guests so I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Have fun and take loads of pictures!

Thank you everyone for your insights!  I'll certainly be ready for Fan Expo to be a zoo.  Meeting Stan Lee and Frank Miller will have to be worth the travel and lines though.  

As for Baltimore, hopefully that will allow me more time to breath, and my plans seem very similar to yours, Brian.  Hoping to get books signed by the Simonsons, Ron Wilson, Steve Englehart, and and some others. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I went to Baltimore today and saw Scott Green, Fred
Chamberlain, Paul Greer, and Roger Ash.

I posted some pictures here.

CincyComicCon last weekend, the first of my four Fall Ohio shows, was a huge letdown.  Attendance was poor and I was frustrated by the lack of items any of the artists/writers brought with them to sell.  I spent $35 on a ticket to get in and only about $30 on the show floor despite a pocket full of cash.  Not good.

Next weekend is the Cincinnati Expo which I have much higher hopes for!

For $10 bucks and two days I'm going to Pop Con Milwaukee to see Mr. Steranko and check out the comic vendors.
