Toronto Comic Book Fan Super Show - Sunday, August 20, 2006

[Kevin Boyd]

Hey Jim,

 

Give Doug a call at the store anytime after 9:30 am- 416-487-9807, and he and Peter might be able to help you out.

I'd like to thank the guys, Kev and Dave. I found out at 2:00 AM this morning that I didn't have a table booked like I thought. After tossing and turning all night, I called Dave early this morning (and knowing of my plight) already had a table set aside for me, even before I called him. Class, just a classy group of people. Thanks guys.

 

CGC-World, Table 6 on the floor plan. See you guys there.

Is there any way to get some of my books signed and graded if I can not attend?

[Darrell F]

I think it is too late for this show since it is this Sunday. Next time there is a show, you can look for the list and then contact a Signature Series witness about obtaining your autograph.

[Jason Truong]

This may be a little last minute, but does anyone know if there's parking outside of the hotel, but really close to it?

[THE_BEYONDER]

Better get cracking then.

 

Display wall is almost complete, and I've got about 20 attachments. Just finishing up a frame to display Treasury Editions.

 

Have yet to organize a single comic though....

[Kevin Boyd]

There's street parking around in the area, and there's a large parking lot right across University Avenue (entrance is one block west of University).

[Jason Truong]

Cool, I'll be sure to check out the area when I'm down there tomorrow.

 

Less than 23 hours!

[Kevin Boyd]

Under 12 hours to SuperShow!

The same can be said for Phil Jimenez. Fans in Toronto love Phil! Thank you Phil for coming back to Toronto for a day!

Thanks to all the people that came to the SuperShow yesterday. As soon as I know the attendance numbers I'll let you know, but it was the most well-attended one-day convention we've had in a decade!
