[Shark]

If I counted correctly it's now 64 boardies on this list.

[Secret Son]

Strength in number.

 

I hope to meet a bunch of you good folks there.

[Mushie]

How do you professionally clean a hole in the ground?

We have lime technicians.

You and Arex are driving to Chicago?

 

How far is that from your place?

[Transplant]

It's even further when they stop in St Louis "on the way."

Nine hours.

Wow, I can’t believe SDCC is over and I just got back from a quick little SF trip this past weekend.

 

I will be flying out Wednesday mid-day and arriving very late that night.

 

Out of all the Cons I have been to this year I would say this is the most special because I have not been to this con since 2006 which was one week before I traveled to San Diego for a vacation and where I have now live for almost the past 3 years.

 

It will feel like a weeklong adventure of comics, on-site grading, friends, restaurants, and straight vodka.

 

I am excited to see all my friends on the boards in Chicago and for meeting new collectors for the first time.

 

I leave early morning Monday so it going to be almost a long week.

 

Of course I am flying in to work with Bob Storms at the HighGradeComic’s booth so please stop by and say hi and hopefully we have something you need. We actually will have a better selection of vintage comic books for sale that is better than what we had at SDCC. A lot of new stuff, come and see.

+2 because +1 just isn't enough.

Arex, look forward to meeting you. John (Spideyontilt), look forward to more drinking with you!! Heading Wednesday with my girlfriend, and will be meeting two friends out there as well from Cleveland. Any of you guys heading to Lollapoolza as well?? Just curious. Hope everyone has a great time.

I read through this entire post, and this is the only thing I actually understood.

 

 

straight vodka.

 

 

[seanfingh]

 

That actually was the most coherent, understandable, and well fashioned response that I have ever seen from SOT. I'd suggest a CAT scan, John.

 

PS: See you in Chi-Town.

So I call the Wizard World phone number from the e-mail they sent me for advance tickets. Buy in advance and save $5 per ticket. Sounds like a good deal, they get their money faster and get to put it in the bank. I scratch their back and they scratch mine. except: It's a BS scam! I try to buy 3 tickets for my family for Saturday, I get to the totals, and the computer on the phone says: "3 tickets at $25 = $75, PLUS SERVICE AND CONVENIENCE FEE. TOTAL = $94" or some such BS. I hung up and tried to order online instead. 3 tickets for Saturday early order = $75, PLUS CONVENIENCE FEE of $15! What the?!!! What kind of bait and switch are they trying to pull? Does anyone else find their intelligence insulted by this garbage?
