I have sent repeated e-mails with no response. I am just going to stop by there Saturday or Sunday morning if I can and try to get in, if not I will just continue on my way back to central CA. I literally will be driving right by it, so if I can't get in, it will be no big deal.

Re: Wonder Con 2015
Day 1 was fun. So good seeing the WCVC! The first panel was funny because right before we went in I was asking about the "wedding of the centuries" that was posted on Facebook, and we walk in and they talk about it! And hopefully we will have a new member, his normal online I.D. Is "Ronin" and he is new to the Valiant Universe and I helped him pick out trades to help him get started, and wrote this website on his badge! Lol everyone was talking about Valiant on the floor. Very very cool stuff!

Re: Wonder Con 2015
Day 2. Man what a turn out! That was a big audience. Valiant is the big dog right now. It's amazing how many people are still finding out about them. But on the plus side, at least they are still coming. And that's always good news. .

Re: Wonder Con 2015
More importantly, great seeing the WCVC, and hanging whenever there was an opportunity.
Not going back today, but really like this show.
Strange how they changed the artists alley/small press layout. But, I suppose it made logistic sense, more so than last year.
I gushed all over Dysart like a total fanboy meeting an A-List celebrity. The dude was just gracious, and took it like a pro. I was a blubbery mess, but I am just so impressed with his work.

Re: Wonder Con 2015
Yesterday was a blast. It's always a good time hanging out with friends and meeting new board members.
And I'm right there with you being at a loss for words around Dysart. He wanted to know what I thought of Imperium 3 and I was unable to put it into words. That guy and his work are simply amazing.

Re: Wonder Con 2015
So glad I was able to stop by from noon til 7 on Saturday. A big shout/thank you to ilzuccone for the badge. Ramses I missed you somehow on Saturday, did you leave after the panel? I also heard quite a buzz about Valiant around the con, lots of people talking bout that movie deal. The VH1 books I saw were ridiculous. $250 for a Harby #1, c'mon man that is outrageous, but some guys were paying it. It looked like a great show, even better than last year. I wish circumstances had allowed me to to have more than a quick pit-stop so I could have done the show right, but still it was great time. I recommend this show highly to anyone who wants to go to SDCC but can't make it or get badges. This is the next closest thing to it.

Yeah Jace, sorry I missed you. I took the kids to Disneyland! I actually felt this years show was smaller than last. It was very interesting though.

Re: Wonder Con 2015
I talked to some Comic con employees, the LA move is most likely a one year move.
They love anahiem, but they are doing some work on the convention center, maybe another massive parking structure.
The dude also mentioned that SDCC might be moving to anahiem if San D does not get it's act together.

Re: Wonder Con 2015
You really think they'd have both conventions at the same place, a couple months apart from eachother?
