I go every year and it never gets any better, but I still go.

I'll be there. I've been going every year since 1998, except for last year (due to my son being born).

 

I suspect that some Forumites may wait until Philly, but I've always quite liked this show. It was not so hot in 2001, but it's picked up a bit since then. I generally go to the Burg partly because there are no other Brit dealers in attendance! Plus there are some nifty places to check out in downtown Pittsburgh.

 

See you there!!

Eh I'll go. I've been going for the last 12 years (?) and see no reason to quit now.

All right, I meant there were a couple of half decent comic shops that were worth a visit. How could you diss the Burg??

Oh all right ONE comic shop. Anyway, regardless of Donut's scorn, let's see some enthusiasm. There's a half decent Japanese restaurant near the Radisson in Monroeville - if anyone's interested in having a Forum get together, give us a shout.

My wife's from the Pittsburgh area. Don't let her hear you laughing at it. She gets excited when she sees Heinz ketchup in restaurants.

It is a fun show to go to, it's smaller than a lot of "big" conventions and has always has a great guest list. Michael and Rene George put together a very warm and hospitable show for dealers and fans. It's a little remote, and sales are variable, but the guests are very accessible.

 

I've been going for the last four years, however I may have to pass this year because I have to move on that weekend. There is a chance I might be able to move the weekend before - if I can, then I'll go to Pittsburgh.

 

Paradise is going to set up, so Peter will be there along with some helpers.
