I'll be there! Both days. I'd offer you a place to stay but I don't have it.

If you (or anyone else) can't find a place I might be able to help get discount rates at a Westin..just PM me and I'll see what I can do.

leili - That sounds awesome. I'll pm you if my squatter tactics fail.

eckotyper - Exactly, I keep a fan running into december. Plus I need a room to hide my shame as I inhale as many burritos as possible over two days haha.

I went to the first one in December 2006, it was held in a meeting room (Room 211). I've always heard how Comic Con started out in a hotel meeting room and decades later it grew in popularity to the size it is today.
Maybe 30 years from now when D*Con has grown to the size of SDCC I can mutter to my grandkids "I remember back when the first D*Con was called Vinyl Toy Network"

This is my fifth year as an exhibitor so must be my 6th year in attendance. I remember before it was DCon and before the ice rink. Suffice to say I'll be there.

I liked it last year.

But now having it as a two day event killed it for me.

The additional travel expenses, vacation, etc made it a pass for me.

I wish they would do it the early new year or spring.
As there are 3 US events in a row in July, oct, nov and then nothing for 6 months.

As a non-NYC or CA person, I wish there were something as amazing as those 3 events somewhere else in the country. ATL is pretty central for the southeast, but Dragon Con doesn't really ever have anything that SB fans are looking for.

Agreed, I wish the Chicago con gets some vinyl love sometime in the future.

As a Brit . . . STFU!

Most of you are only a maximum of 6 hours or so away from any event, anywhere in the US . . . buncha fuckin' lightweights! :D

Haha I wish it was only 6 hours! 6 hours wouldn't even get me to Atlanta, let alone NYC. 17 hours to NYC and 35 hours to LA! Unless you're talking flying, then yes, 6 hours. Guess it's actually my wallet that's a lightweight - It can't stand the airfare!

must say i love that sdcc is quick and easy, its only 6 hour drive, and i wont even drive to it lol.

NYCC, 6 hour flight wasnt bad, on the way there i slept the whole way, wasnt digging it on the way home cause couldnt sleep.

how greg mishka does that back and forth soo often, I dont get it lol.

you can find airfare at about $350 round trip... or less, just have to shop...

Me, arbito, and le merde will be there sharing a table. I know koji harmon has a booth, and pretty sure PK is going. Gonna be a fun Designer Con this year... plus the jarjar show. Bonus points.

PK & MVH

2 days worth of exploding peoples heads @ booth 322.

I'll bring a snow shovel, plastic bags, and some bleach.

6 hours was the shortest flight out of BWI.
Most range from 7-8 hrs, depending on the layover. I opted for a non-stop flight (thank God for SNUS)...

Looking forward to my first Dcon & finally placing some faces with the names I've met on this board. Hopefully none of my cranial matter lands on you in the Booth 322 blast radius :wink:

I wish 6hrs. Cheapest flight for me is 12hrs.

Post subject:  Re: D*Con!

Yea i dunno about the whole two day thing. You can see it all in one day id say and it will be a bummer to have to go to both days if releases get spread out... Only time will tell! I mean its great for the industry if it can support a full two days dont get me wrong.

I started attending VTN in 08 and i think i only mossed one or two in those early years when it was twice a year before it became Dcon. I also vote it gets pushed to early in the calendar year, as early as Feb or as late as April.
