Anyone going to Heroescon (Charlotte, NC) this year?

Looks like the big draws are Brian Bolland and Frank Cho, but there's still 4 months to go. This is the one con I hit every year and I always have fun.

Any of you guys going?

I am moving to Bluefield WV, that's only a 3-4 hour drive, I might try to make it down.

That off 77? By the natural forest?

Bluefield is the last exit off 77 south before leaving WV, exit 1, and before going through the tunnels through East River Mountain.

Cool, I thought it was around that area. Thats only about 5-6 hours from where I am (about 30 mins south of Pittsburgh)

I currently live in North Canton, OH, but work in Youngstown, at least until March 12.

I was considering it—Boland and Sale would be great signatures to have.

Yeah, I'm pretty stoked about meeting Bolland.

But not as stoked as I am about Liefeld.

You should print out the "naked" Cap pic and see if he would sign it.

I doubt I will be able to get down there again this year. I always seem to have a weekend shift at a job, and the two days I squeezed out of my boss now are Tuesdays and Sundays.

I'm going - first heroescon in 14 years. Bringing a good buddy of mine for his first convention.

I'm not a huge fan of the lines for autographs, so the draw for me is more for the dealers and selection.

The wife and I will be in town for all three days. Hitting the NASCAR hall of fame on friday then the con the rest of the weekend.

sanman · Post by **sanman** » Mon Apr 19, 2010 9:30 pm

Still a possibility

aggr1103 · Post by **aggr1103** » Fri May 14, 2010 10:34 pm

So stoked...

Just found out my buddy got a hotel room for Heroescon as his birthday present. Looks like we're gonna be there the whole weekend.

Just called Heroes and preregistered. Guy on the phone sounded stoked about it (as I would expect). Looking forward to this

One day, I swear I'll make it back... (it's only a 3-hour drive.)

*sigh*

I'll be there Friday only. We should have a meet-up. What's everyone wearing?

I'm currently wearing some damn tired feetsies.

First day was awesome!

Sitting downstairs here at the Westin because we have to pay (WTH?) for internet in the rooms. Had a blast today but being up nonstop from 10:30 until 7 gave me out. I picked up a TON of loot and filled some gaps in my collection.

Unfortunately, not alot of Valiant, and what I did find was predominantly post unity.

Here's some pics of the loot - no valiants

Had a fantastic day! Got to meet some favorites of mine for the first time (Jim Starlin, Rob Liefeld, Jose Marzan), and make some new friends (Marat Mychals is one of the nicest people I've EVER met at a con) and pick up some great sketches and signatures.

The only person I wasn't able to get a signature from was Brian Bolland. By the time I made it up to his table his agent told me that he wasn't doing any more signatures today. He said to come back tomorrow, and when I told him I wasn't going to be there tomorrow it was basically "oh well....tough luck..."

Kinda lame.

But it in no way ruined my day by any means. This is probably the best time I've ever had at Heroescon.

If you check Rob Liefeld's blog I'm in EVERY SINGLE picture he posted from today.

I'm the guy in the black t-shirt with a pair of sunglasses on my head in the middle of the third or fourth row.

I posted the sketches I got today on my gallery thread here...
