I just wanted to give a quick update. We are a little over 2 weeks away from the con and we've had a few changes (mostly additions) with dealers and guests, so I'll repost the entire list. The show is getting bigger and bigger, and we've gotten considerable attention from local media. It's going to be an absolute blast from start to finish. Our website is www.annapoliscomiccon.com and you can get in touch with me at ben (at) awesomecons.com if you have any questions.
