Wizard World Austin -- November 22-24, 2013

[JorgeRR96]

CM Punk went last year, this is Cena's 3rd Wizard appearance ever, and so far he is the only one to ever sell out everything (VIPs, Photo Ops, Autographs).

 

Norman Reedus is like the 5th beatle right now, he os extremely popular and gets loger lines than many guests there.

If anyone is looking for a hotel that is reasonable (for Austin standards) and close to the convention center, the Hilton Garden Inn is only about 3-4 blocks from the Con. We've stayed there a couple of times for this show and it works out well. Just be aware of the $28 per day mandatory valet fee if you drive down (this is at all the downtown hotels, not just this one).

Wizard must be having trouble with 3 day passes. They released an offer today through amazon local for Sunday tix at $57 that includes the WD variant they offer on their site with 3 day and a print by Suydam, Horn, or Golden.

 

After staring at $85 for 3 days on their site I opted got the $22 Friday only ticket. Gonna take a half day at work and just do Friday.

Did we ever decide what day and where for the boardie dinner / get together?

I thought there would be at least something both nights. I'm up for hanging out both, and since many who responded are only coming one day that'd work. I'd like to meet some new people and put faces to board names.

[kaholo1256]

Yeah, I'm certainly down as well. I just have to say may want to stay away from 6th street. Last thing i want to do is blow my money at the bar when I would much rather do that at the Con

[mysterio]

We'll see what we can do. 6th Street makes sense because it is so close, we'd basically have to try to avoid it. There have to be some reasonable spots, or a hotel bar we can find a few adult beverages to consume.

[Trev]

Cedar Door is a good bar for a meetup that is relatively close if people want to get together for a drink.

Sunday half price tix.

Actually it's the same Sunday deal as amazon local. $57 with the var and a Michael Golden print.

Waiting for my press pass confirmation. I'd definitely be down for meeting up. My buddy I'm going with lived in austin for the past 8 years, so he may know a good spot with some cheaper drinks.

[Gsims718]

I'm in Austin about every other weekend, and would highly recommend Trudy's for Mexican food.

 

I love that place. Drinks aren't the cheapest but food is great.

[mysterio]

I'm sure we'll be able to figure something out for both Friday and Saturday, I'm down with just about anything. Some BBQ would be good and I'm sure some has to be nearby.

[kaholo1256]

Their are quite a few places for both drinks and BBQ in the general area. Favorite place for cheaper beers is a place called the Black Star co-op. In any case, looking forward to meeting others and putting a face with the names.
