Tampa Bay Comic Con - August 23-25, 2013! Game of Thrones guests!

[KingOfRulers]

Hopefully today. Just waiting for our webmaster to update the website.

Congrats on this move! I just wish I could come to the show.

[Par2ch]

Cant wait to see the guest list. Try to bring Trimpe down!

[TupennyConan]

In need of a little focus group assist from the Boards.

 

If you were an August 2013 Tampa Bay Comic Con attendee, would you be interested in an event such as this at the DoubleTree, the Saturday night of the August TBCC weekend?

 

[Evil Cody]

I love that the show's getting bigger and bigger. Maybe this time CGC will have a booth?

 

Again, can't wait to see the guest list, with 3 days it'll be a lot easier to get sketches.

Sounds like fun. Are you doing all ages? Alcohol?

I think you should encourage the cosplay crowd to attend. Bill can take pictures of scantily clad ladies until the wee hours of the morning.

 

Sounds like a fitting farewell to the Doubletree.

What is closet hotel to the con center?

[TupennyConan]

Embassy Suites: connected directly the to Convention Center.

 

But please wait to book your room through our room block discount rate once we publish it on the website; which should be this week -- I'll have the deal closed soon.

 

[TupennyConan]

Thanks for the help, guys. This event won't be at the DoubleTree. All Tampa Bay Comic Con events will move downtown in August.

Nothing is going to keep me from this one. House is closing on the 24th and then I go into con saving mode. I want golden age and silver age goodies at the con! I will be there at least Friday and Saturday depending on guests.

What is the estimate on the new entrance fee and parking fee?

[Pike's Comics]

Entrance fee is supposed to be the same.

 

Parking looks to be either $2.50 a day or $10 a day mattering where you park. Here is a handy map.

You also have the option of just taking your boat there and docking at the convention center!
