I think this is going to be one amazing new venue.

They've bought Big Wow. I'm not sure if they are running this show in addition to Big Wow, or if this will replace it.

Interesting and had no idea the Woz is a comic fan.

makes me wonder if those 100 lifetime passes they just sold for the Big wow are now worthless..

I think they have to honor it as they are buying the show. They of course may opt out with some loop hole, but when you buy a company you assume the assets as well as the debt. But who knows..like comic books anything can happen.

If they "end" the Big Wow show then they have honored it. I bet they either refund those passes or convert them into passes for the new Con.

I'm officially going.. I talked myself out of it numerous times because it would cost so much.. and in one split second today everything changed.

Michael J Fox, Lea Thompson and Christopher Lloyd.. all at once AND MJF will be signing!

Never thought I'd pay $750 for a photo op and autographs.. but this opportunity = Priceless.

I was trying to swing it myself, if I still lived in central CA I would go for sure. But it is just too far from where I am now. Especally with Wondercon the following weekend.

[nycjadie]

It's a definite maybe for me, depending on the artists attending. Sacrifice Con is the weekend prior, so not fabulous timing.

[nycjadie]

Bob Layton will be at this show.

My son wants to go because the actor and actress behind Darth Maul and Princess Leia will be there.

How much does bob charge for sketches?

I want to say its $225 or $250 but I don't remember exactly. I am about 80% it's in that range.

He charged about $100 to do a sketch cover for me 2 years ago.

Last I saw Layton was 125 for a bust/head sketch and 250 for a full body/bodies. That was last year at the con I was at anyway.

I'm glad I got mine when I did, then.

Love to see someone get a "first signed copy" out of Wozniak. Or ask Stan Lee to sign something nuts like Trinity Angels.

I wonder if there is a book Stan actually wrote that he has not signed?

[Aram]

Con was good but a severe lack of valiant books to be found. An $35 ew 4
Some bagged early bloodshot runs an one crack smokingdealer trying to get 5$ for turok 1 and 6$ for bloodhot 0 and some quarterbin random books i didn think were worth my time to dig through since condition sucked on all of them. Thats all i could find of valiant in the whole place.

[nycjadie]

Ouch! But the signatures?

[Aram]

Sigs made it a great trip;

Michael J Fox, Leah Thompson, Christipher Lloyd, Jon Heder, Bob Layton and Olivia. Leah Thompson and Christopher Lloyd and Jon Heder were especially amazing and super friendly. Bob was awesome and hilarious as usual.

I ended up standing in a line and talking to the ceo of the show for about 20 minutes too and I'm conviced the show will be even better going forward. It was really cool that he and his family waited in line like everyone else when he could have just cut straight to the front.
