Hell Ya! It is an amazing guest list and it aint gonna cost anything. I get to save my admission money for the show the next weekend.

[CGCMINT]

The guest list looks pretty good!

[imyoursoulmate-migration]

I just read on a website that the big summer show will be previewing their guest list this weekend. This is gonna be a stellar 2 weeks!

[AlexH]

Why did you open a second thread for this CON? There is already one open.

[Aces]

Why did you open a second thread for this CON? There is already one open.

 

Two is better than one cause one is the loneliest number that you ever knew...

 

That song was playing as I post this!!!!

[AlexH]

I just read on a website that the big summer show will be previewing their guest list this weekend. This is gonna be a stellar 2 weeks!

 

Hey,

 

Could you post a link to this website? I usually read www.comicbookconventions.com but I didn't see anything there about this. Let me know when you have a minute.

 

Thanks

[CGCMINT]

So Alex, are you going? Chris Claremont and Andy Kubert are going to be there this weekend.

[AlexH]

I'm not sure. I haven't been able to find a store that has tickets. If I go I won't decide until Sunday, but I'm leaning towards sleeping.

 

I wish you well, and hope you have a good time though.

[CGCMINT]

A lot of the "Paradise" guys will be going.

[Kevin Boyd]

Peter's not going. Doug's not going and I have no interest in going. Besides we all have work to do getting our convention ready, which, as you well know, takes place the following weekend. Are there some other Paradise guys that I don't know about John?

[AlexH]

A lot of the "Paradise" guys will be going.

 

I would like to know too. Everyone I have spoken to from Paradise either won't be available or won't be going to this show.

[Ares]

Im not and I am a Paradise Regular...

[mitol]

I might go, but not if I have to pay. Plus I want to see how the turnout is for myself.

[CGCMINT]

[sumo panda-migration]

Yeah, i'd like to know who these "Paradise people" are, too. As far as I can tell, they're a little too busy taking care of their own show.

[CGCMINT]

The show is tomorrow!

[hogations]

I went. I didn't check out the artist/writer alley, but the area seemed pretty busy so I guess Claremont and Kubert were there. The regular dealers were there and there was quite a bit of discounting going on. The trend I've noticed in the past few years is that more dealers are discounting across the board. If you have patience, you can find pretty good stuff, but the ultra-high grade stuff will still cost you.

 

My good buys for the day were Batman 234 VF+ $110, DC-14 100 pgs VF/VF+ $20 & Witching Hour #13 VF+ $5 (steal!). I also picked up the first three Morrison/Quitely X-Men trade paperbacks for an amazing $25. The show was great for picking up trade paperbacks for cheap.
