Tampa Bay Comic Con! March 3-4, 2012! Jim Steranko appearance!

[KingOfRulers]

The Tampa Bay Comic Con will be back on March 3-4, 2012!

 

We're excited to debut this two-day format with new features such as guest panels and other special events. We are definitely expecting a surge of "out-of-towners" to attend. If you're looking to couple the convention with a full-fledged Florida vacation, nearby family attractions include numerous outdoor activities, world-class beaches, Busch Gardens and the Florida Aquarium. In addition, Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World and Wet 'n' Wild are only an hour away. CGC is only 50 minutes south for all of your comic grading needs.

 

You can reserve your Doubletree hotel room (which is the same venue as the convention) at the special convention rate through the below link. It doesn't get much more convenient than just having to walk 60 seconds to get from your hotel room to the convention room! The Tampa airport is less than 10 minutes away from the Doubletree Hotel, and the Doubletree does provide shuttle service.

 

 

Admission is only $5.00 for adults (per day) and is FREE for children (12 and under). Parking is FREE. Convention hours are 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM, on both days.

 

Address:

DOUBLETREE HOTEL

4500 West Cypress Street

Tampa, FL 33607

I think I'll check-in to the DoubleTree & drink for two days, attending the con in my pajamas.

This is a step in the right direction. It was kind of awkward at the last show when you

were naked and sober.

No one has ever found any appeal in my sobriety. I've gotta give the people what they want.

We've added another great artist to our guest list...Mike Mayhew! Come out and see him, as he has not been frequenting the convention circuit (and he is coming from 3,000 miles away).
