    MonsterMania in March (Cherry Hill, NJ) and Wizard (Philadelphia) in June.
    If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

      Over here in Australia, I'll be heading off to the Supanova convention in April. The doc himself Christopher Lloyd will be there in person.

        Phoenix Comicon


        Memorial weekend. I'm very excited that Leonard Nimoy and Stan Lee are attending this year.

        I'll be there with family and some in-laws in tow. I plan to meet up with my childhood buddy again. Last year my wife, sis-in-law, bro-in-law, and I all wore Enterprise costumes. My kids went as Batgirl and Supergirl.

        This year I'm going as SMDM, my wife will go as Bionic Woman (so she'll be a brunette Lindsay Wagner because she's not wearing a wig or changing her hair and I wouldn't ask her to.)

        My oldest daughter wants to go as a Superfriend style Cheetah and my youngest has decided she wants to be Wonder Woman, which her older sister always dressed as up till now.

        My sis-in-law wants to wear an Aquaman type costume. No, not a Mera one, the orange top and green pants. My brother in law probably won't even consider a costume unless someone has extras in our party.

          I'll probably go to Wizard World Toronto, I just read they yanked the Wrestling ring from the show, which I thought was really embarrassing looking last year. Hopefully the washed up wrasslers who were carnival barking as you walked past them don't show up.

          $25 for me and my kid getting in free, it's superior to fanexpo imo.

                    It's just the magazines that got folded up to make the IPO for Wizard World more appealing. Not sure that bodes well given the pressure of publicly traded companies is always about the bottom line and making profits for the investors.

                    I suspect Wizard World is already well on it's way to becoming the Starbucks of Comic Book/Entertainment conventions. Hopefully Paradise Comics is still involved in Wizard World Toronto, they are my local comic shop and good folks.

                    I'm considering giving Fan Expo one more go... but only on the added Thursday to try and avoid the ridiculous crowds of Saturday and Sunday. This past year was so ludicrous... from lining up for hours with a so-called VIP pass, to not being able to move or even have any room to browse. I left early Saturday and gave my weekend pass to some poor schmuck in line that was never going to get in. I heard later that folks with passes that went to grab some lunch weren't allowed back in because they had reached capacity.

                    Locally, it's TCAF that I look forward to the most...

                    And Mego Meet was such an incredibly positive experience last year, I'm looking forward to going again this year.

                          I have worked Wonderfest in Louisville every year for the past 15 years. Actually voted the number one convention in the country in 2009. For those of you who have never seen it, you should give it a try some time. We have people from as far away as Japan attend the show.

                            Here's a site that has some Convention listings:

                            Convention Scene | Comic Book Conventions, Anime, Gaming, Science Fiction, Collectibles...from Comic-Con to Origins
                            "When not too many people can see we're all the same
                            And because of all their tears,
                            Their eyes can't hope to see
                            The beauty that surrounds them
                            Isn't it a pity".

                              Don't feel bad Damian, I didn't know about it either... and I went to the last GI Joe Con in Orlando, also at Disney World. But that one was on July 4th.

                              I'm surprised this one is so early in the year.

                              And YES, I'll be headed there too.

                              Frankly, I'd rather hit Joecon than WizardWorld Miami Con.
