MegaCon, May 26-29, 2016

4 months to go and I haven't seen any guests listed. Also, on their site they list only one table for corner spots. Can anybody corroborate this or correct this for me?

[Pike's Comics]

They are giving corners only one table...

That's been typical of the shows we have done. We always have to bring a folding table to close off the corner. It's cheap of promoters to do this, but at least they are consistent.

Megacon has always supplied two tables with corner spots. Figured that's one of the perks for paying a couple hundred bucks extra. With this being their first Megacon, you'd think they would want to make a good impression on their customers.

im hoping there will be onsite grading too as one of the main reasons coming from the uk for this event was that.

Per Facebook, they will be announcing guests beginning next week...

 

After last year/s guest list underwhelmed I hope for a better roster this year

Thanks Kevin!

 

Can you work on getting CGC to do onsite?

[FN-2199]

Cool. As always, I'll be there. I want to see how it compares to Wizard World Comic Con Orlando later this year.

 

Hopefully Stan can make it this year.

Thanks Kevin!

I called and asked --- since it's Memorial Day weekend it's tough for them to get staff to work the con and stay at the office and grade and encapsulate, but they will be there taking subs and hopefully we'll have onsite grading back in 2017.

KEVIN SMITH and JASON MEWES

Will be appearing on stage together for

JAY & SILENT BOB GET OLD on Saturday, May 28

 

Admission to Megacon is not required for the stage event - it will have separate ticketing.

 

However, the duo will be appearing at Megacon for photo ops, and attendees of Megacon will be able to pre-purchase photo ops in advance of the event (admission to Megacon is required for photo ops).

Kevin,

 

Makes sense, I appreciate you checking in to it. I pray it works out for 2017 as it draws a lot of us CGC devotees to megacon.

[blazingbob]

Highgradecomics.com will be attending the show this year.

 

If there are any books you want to see at the show please let me know in advance.

 

Look forward to coming
