I won't be there, but hopefully many of you will. I'll update the link for the home page once they fix it.

Cant wait for SciFi Expo! Flights are cheap right now and I hope they bring some good celebs and artists!!

Mysterio,

 

What do you think ticket prices will be like for this show - similar to the FanDays or cheaper?

[mysterio]

Prices will probably be similar to Fan Days, at least I would assume so.

[telerites]

Thanks - I'm planning on driving down from OKC. I missed FanDays this time but that is one I usually try to hit. The SciFi Expo has been decent in the past.

[mysterio]

The guest list for Fan Days was exceptionally good, in my opinion, so hopefully the February show will be just as good. I'll be in Australia on a fellowship for 5 months, but otherwise I'd be there as these are generally solid shows.

[telerites]

You back by WW Tulsa next November?

[mysterio]

Most definitely, I'll be going to WW San Antonio and Chicago in August too.

[JorgeRR96]

Admission price is going to be cheaper since it's a 2-Day show.

[mysterio]

They're teasing some BIG pending announcement on Facebook, we'll see...

[mysterio]

Well, they've announced the next show exclusive (which apparently is NOT the big news they were teasing a few days ago).

 

This one is actually pretty cool.

Wish they would start making some announcements (outside of this) so I know whether or not to plan this one out for 2014. So far I'm planning on the 2 Wizard Worlds, and Capital City. But this one or the Fan Days they do in May are always cool to check out.

Despite their faults, of which there are many, I do really enjoy these Dallas shows and look forward to them. They tend to be very solid shows, and they always have guests I'd like to meet and I get to buy a book or three that I like. They'll never be SDCC or Chicago, but they're fun little shows.

 

I do wish they could change venues though...

[kaholo1256]

Yeah same here, felt like making the two women for DWC go up and down to the third floor from their position on the first floor to get a few Signatures. Funniest part was when we made it the first time after I had checked on the artist he wasn't their so they had to do it a second time.

aww poor things

[mysterio]

Looks like they'll finally be moving this show. The February show will be in Irving at the usual venue, but the big May show will be downtown at the Dallas Convention Center. I hope this will be a positive change, they're claiming that they'll have 4 times the floor space of Irving so that certainly sounds good.

[kaholo1256]

They probably saw some reviews on the Alamo City Comic Con layout and realized it was simply time to finally listen to the masses. Hope they have a good set of creators and artists this May as I really enjoyed the one I went to in 2012. Either way should be good for those of us in Texas and hope the February lists start to get posted to build up some interest.

[JorgeRR96]

I believe first Wave of announcements is coming next week. Can't wait for the three Dallas shows next year.

[mysterio]

Did they list a third? Last I checked there were only two sets of dates posted, February and May.

[JorgeRR96]

No, but Mark said that there is going to be 3 shows, SciFi Expo and Fan Days will take place at the ICC, Dallas Comic Con will take place at the DCC.
