Don't know if I'll make it this year or not. Last year was a blast! The only lines you had to wait on to meet artists were for Jim Lee & Herb Trimpe. People like David Petersen, Rich Buckler, & Don Rosa, you could walk up and talk to whenever you wanted to.

Damn.
One of the cons, here in Australia, that I am planning to attend also has Lou Ferrigno & Arthur Suydam listed as guests.
Not a problem except it is on the same weekend as Planet Comicon.
Will have to find out who exactly is attending.

I'm going to be there again this year.

Great time last year. Some great deals.

I know one or 2 people not from the general area came last year. Just curious if anyone driving here would need a place to crash. I live in leavenworth so it would still be an hour or so drive to get to the con. I have 2 rooms that are not being used right now.

For the record, one way or another I will be there this year but the offer stands to anyone from out of town who needs a place to crash. Just provide your own transportation is all.

Several people did.

February 4, 2008 -- Unfortunately, Mr. Ferrigno has cancelled his appearance at Planet Comicon 2008 due to a professional conflict. He has expressed a desire to appear at Planet Comicon 2009 and we hope to see him in Kansas City next year.

February 27, 2008 -- Unfortunately, Mr. Pulido has cancelled his appearance at Planet Comicon 2008 due to a professional conflict. We hope to see him in Kansas City at a future Planet Comicon.

March 15, 2008 -- Unfortunately, Mr. Suydam has cancelled his appearance at Planet Comicon 2008 due to a scheduling conflict. We hope to see him in Kansas City at a future Planet Comicon.

I think I'm going to be present this year. I don't have anything fancy to wear however like Rubiks. I recall that one year we all wore something Valiant related to identify each other but I can't recall what that was.

MedicAR · Post by **MedicAR** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 9:37 am

Look like this is a lock for me too. I'll be there.....
