Caroline and I will be there on the 16th, 17th and 18th, leaving on Wednesday the 19th. So if Monday the 17th works out that would be great. If not, we would still have Tuesday night.
CJ, you still planning on arriving on Sunday?

Yeah Sunday through Tue in Vegas, travel Wed to SD. I got a friend who'd love the vampire show, too.
I can't wait to spend the dog days of Summer in Vegas!
Just spouting off.

Cali, I also have it on good authority that Geoff himself likes to draw sketches (as does Brian Micheal Bendis) but people just never ask them for them. Geoff, of course, likes to draw Wally. Too bad he's not on the guest list for SDCC then, huh?  Maybe he'll make a surprise appearance, though... I can always hope!! Originally posted by CJ Taylor:

There is evidence to that; sadly it is minimal. If you're willing to overlook it, send me a private message. If not, it's completely understandable. I don't want to room with me either.

sounds good. I've never been to Vegas, so I'm relying on your expertise as "locals"

If you've got a car, there's actually a few comic book stores under 10 minutes from the Strip. I went to the Star Trek Hilton (c'mon, how could I not!) and bought a bottle of Klingon blood wine that was suprisingly good.

OK, so I bought my train ticket out to San Diego. That's right, I'll be traveling cross country by train to get to the con. I am so looking forward to the trip. There are 4 legs. First from Boston to Albany (5 hr 10 mins) then Albany to Chicago (15 hr 40 min) From Chicago, I go to LA, the longest leg of the trip (43 hr) and finally from LA to San Diego (2 hr 45 mins)
I was trying to see if my 12 year old great nephew could come with me, but that didn't work out.
So now I just have to purchase my con ticket and an airline ticket home.

WOW! Now thats a train journey and a half. Its only when you see timings like that that us Brits get a sense of just how damn big America is. I would love to do a journey like that taking time to see the sights and relaxing and reading.
Hope you enjoy Quis

Blimey, that is a train journey. I do all the travel bookings here at work and people complain when it takes four hours to get from one side of the country to the other. Kind of puts into perspective quite how small the UK is compared to the US.

Kind of puts into perspective quite how small the UK is compared to the US. I've been told by fellow travelers it's very much like the Orient Express. Mind ya, murder isn't all that common on our trains... But the long ride, the varying landscapes and diverse mix of people gives ya that feel of Old World we 21st century kids rarely get in the New World You get to see so much of the country, and every region is a different scene with different lingo and people. I'm a little jealous Quis.

No question mark, I've got my room booked!! But... how do I, like, buy a con ticket? (And how much are they?)
Man, I'm so helpless... it's just sad. Very, very sad.

You can buy tickets on line here Cali. You can still register for the four-day pass (includes the preview night) for only $50 if you pre-register by April 19. Here is a direct link to the PDF registration form. Must have Adobe Acrobat Reader to open.

Never met another Legion fan In person I used to go to the Chicago Comicon when I lived there In the early 90's but I never knew Legion fans got together back then.
I tried to rip their soul out.I tried to make them forget Superman.
But they won't.

I had to flake on Boston last year, but I really want to go to one of these. I'll see what I can scheme up...

I'm still planning on making it to both Vegas and San Diego. But with recent engine rebulding, relocation, and job huntning problems, my plans are tentative til end of May at least.

After what I just had to drop on my car this last week, we came close to having to cancel Vegas. But, so far (knock on wood), our plans still hold. We just won't be seeing as many shows or visiting as many stores as Caroline wanted to.
