Another for the hell of it It's a very worthwhile dinner for anyone interested. Great food, great people, great conversation

Well, welcome aboard! Glad that you'll be joining us

I believe it's considered a collection, as opposed to a pedigree. Still a fantastic book. Congrats

See my post above yours

Awesome!

Bought some books from Karl recently. Excellent communication, packed extremely well. As good as it gets

Details: Friday Aug 24 8 PM at Blu Fish Sushi Bistro in Park Ridge. It's a few minutes from the convention center, and very easy to get to. Here's the address to input into your GPS device: Blu Fish Sushi Bistro 130 N Northwest Hwy. Park Ridge, IL 60068 (847) 720-4479 It's located in a small strip mall right near a Lenscrafters, so it shouldn't be too difficult to locate Their sushi is excellent. A group of us local collectors meet there for dinner every month and always have a great time. If you have any questions about pricing, click on the "Menu" tab on the link I posted and it'll give you a pretty good idea what to expect. Hope to see everyone there **The group will be seated in an area called "the lounge". If you enter the restaurant from the street, it's immediately to your right. If you enter from the parking lot, it's at the opposite end of the restaurant and to the left. Tell the person working the front of the house that you're there for "the group in the lounge". They'll know what you mean** People attending TheWatcher joeypost Logan510 + Emily greggy Moondog electricprune

$4500 for this last year

Glad you and Jeff could make it again this year, Ray

It's that time once again for collectors of all things comic to get together and indulge in dinner, drink and dance (okay, maybe not dance). Saturday August 25th at 8 PM at Gibsons Steakhouse, directly across the street from the convention center, where, in previous years, attendees were able to meet and talk to such great comic luminaries as: Neal Adams Bernie Wrightson Joe Jusko Maggie Thompson Michele Nolan This is an evening for collectors of comics (new and old), OA, pulps, BLBs to meet and hang out, indulging our inner comic geek. It's an opportunity for anyone to show off pieces they brought to the dinner from their collection, things they picked up at the con that day, or drool over once-in-a-lifetime books like: Action 1 Tec 27 Comics from the top GA pedigrees (Church, Larson, San Fran, etc) Details: Dinner is Saturday Aug 25th at 8 PM. It'll be held in the Stephens Room (also referred to as the Fireplace Room). Doors will open at 7 PM to allow attendees to get properly liquored up before dinner It's a cash bar, so don't blow all that money on comics. The menu consists of the following: House salad Center Cut Filet Mignon 10oz WR Chicago Cut 22oz Lake Superior Whitefish Spit Roasted Chicken Baked Potato Vegetable Combination Platter *If you're thinking of attending and you're a vegetarian or have a food allergy, please PM me so I can pass that information along to Gibsons* The cost is $95 per person. It's quite a bit of money, I understand, but you're getting Flintstones-sized cuts of beef, an opportunity to see and talk to comic book icons, and meet fellow collectors Payment can be done via Paypal (PM me for details) Feel free to PM me with any questions Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones at this year's dinner Speaking of old friends, I'd like to dedicate this year's dinner to John Verzyl. John was a regular at the Chicago dinners, and he left us much too soon. Whether John knew you for 15 years or 15 minutes, he always took the time to talk to you. Without a doubt, John had some of the best stories regarding the hobby he loved, and would tell them at every opportunity. He had an encyclopedic knowledge about comics and comic history. I cherish the memories I have chatting with John about his Timely Church run, buying the Slobodian collection, and many other fascinating comic-related stories. The dinner will be a little emptier without John there this year List of people attending the dinner TheWatcher greggy BitterOldMan + 2 PedigreeMan + TheEnabler Logan510 + Emily Red84 Chicago Boy CentaurMan Cat-Man_America + Roxanne Moondog + ?
