captain_slinkyThe convention is just a day away! I'm not ready yet! I'm not prepared! I'm stuck here at werk! GRRRRRRRR!!!
Gotta get our outfit made for Molly! We're ironing a bunch of comics logos to a plain white shirt for her, and putting a Supergirl Comic Book Cover front-and-center. She'll be so cute!
We also intend to get as many signatures in Molly's Baby Book as possible, a little momento from her very first comic book convention :)
I need a back pack. Two of them, actually; one for Me and one for Britt. I figure we'll load Britt's up with the water and food items, she can be our little pack mule, and then I can devote MY back pack to the transporting of important items (I'm taking my Supervisors $15k comic to get it slabbed and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
teegin's The Crow comic to get signed).
I need to meet up with Jon, my only co-werker who's going to the convention. I will meet his wife and kids, he shall meet mine.
What food items are we going to pack for the day? I hate to waste money on the Convention Food, but I also need something better than granola bars and beef jerkey!
And here's a list of the Panel Discussions going on both days:
Slave Labor Panel Q&A
Saturday 12pm-1pm
Join Editor-In-Cheif Dan Vado along with Roman Dirge (Lenore) as they talk about what's new with SLG, followed by a Q&A session with Dirge.
CBLDF Sketch Duel
Saturday 2pm-3pm
Join six of comics' top artists as they draw your requests in a sketch duel! All art is auctioned at the end of the panel to benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
Costume Contest
Saturday 4pm-5pm
come show off your cool costume and try your chance at winning some great prizes!
DC Comics Panel
Sunday 11am-12pm
Join Batman Group Editor Bob Schreck and writers Kurt Busiek & Gail Simone as they discuss upcoming DC titles and projects, plus the ramifications of Infinite Crisis.
Webcomics Panel
Sunday 1pm-2pm
As some of the most succesful webcomic creators today, come hear Mike Krahulik & Jerry Holkins (Gabe & Tycho of Penny Arcade) talk about how to get started in webcomics and their path to success.
Farscape Panel Q&A
Sunday 3pm-4pm
Enjoy an hour-long talk with actors Lani Tupu & Gigi Edgley as they recall their time on Farscape with amusing stories and anecdotes, followed by a Q&A session.
On Saturday, there isn't an event that I don't want to see. The Slave Labor panel, the Sketch Duel, the Costume Contest... all stuff I NEED to see! I'll probably get in to the show, get my free stuff, then go get good seats for the festivities! But if I *have* to miss one, I'd probably choose to miss seeing the Slave Labor panel.
On Sunday I can do without the Farscape panel, considering that I've never actually seen an episode of the show. But DC Comics and Web Comics panels are pure GOLD! I'll be sure to be there for those :)
I wonder why there's no Marvel Comics panel this year? Also, since Jim Demonicos is now head poobah of PR at Image, why not an Image Comics panel?
