If anyone wants to take a hotel room the night before the show, the Days Inn in East Windsor appears to be the hotel of choice for both vendors and creators. It's about 20 minutes from the park. Decent sized room is only about $100. Did the search... NO bedbug reports... which is good since I'm sleeping there!

[pug productions]

Joe Giella has just been added to the list of creators attending.

[Dark Prime 0]

just ordered my tix

[pug productions]

Cool!

 

Any boardies coming to the show get a $10 credit at my table!

 

My wife will be working the table for me while I'm running around like a nut.

 

She's the tall blond that won't be able to answer a single question about the books.

[Foolkiller]

Bought my ticket as well. Folks, I really hope you can come out and support this show and this event. I think JP is working really hard to make it a great event and I think it will be a lot of fun.

 

This is kind of innovative "comic event" that could bring a few more peripheral people to the fold. I really encourage everyone to come and participate.

 

One question JP, is there an site in door location we should be looking to be directed to once we get into the park?

[pug productions]

The site is easy to find. Once you enter the main gate, you will pass a number of concession booths and then enter an open area that precedes the rollercoasters. To your left about midway (on the midway) is a plain looking metal building that used to be an indoor ride. That is where the show is being held. There is freshly erected wood stockade fence along the side of the building that will hopefully be slathered with signage. There should also be someone dressed as Green Lantern outside waving you over.

 

From what I understand, they should also be handing out flyers with a map at admission.

[frankpatton-migration]

Is there a schedule of events posted anywhere?

[pug productions]

The officially scheduled events are:

 

 

12:00 "Comic Book School" with writer and publisher Buddy Scalera-Find out how a comic book is created from start to finish.

 

 

1:00 Chuck Rozanski-the owner of Mile High Comics and largest comic book dealer in the world will tell the incredible story of how he found the most valuable comic book collection ever... followed by a Q&A.

 

 

2:00 A "no minimum bid" auction to benefit The Childrens' Miracle Network. Great deals for a great cause.

 

 

3:00 Find out what it's like to be the only blind comic book dealer in the world when we interview Adam Cerniglia.

 

 

4:00 What's a "Web Comic"? Danielle O'Brien and Bill Ellis, the creators of "All New Issues" will tell you!

 

 

Artists including Neal Adams, Irwin Hasen, Sean Chen, Lee Weeks, Fred Hembeck, Daxiong, Joe Giella. Doug Baron and Glenn Whitmore will be available at various times throughout the day for signing and sketching. (Additional events including some of these creators may be added during the course of the day as their comfort levels and customer activity allows.)
