Valiantfans gathering at NYCC

Post by kjjohanson »

Just wondering who from the board is actually going to NYCC. I'll be there all four days.

Anyone up for a post-con gathering? Maybe grab some drinks at a local bar? (I could do that any day except Sunday)
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

I'll be there Friday. Not sure I'll drink since I have a long drive home but I'd be happy to tag along and hang out for a bit.

Bumping this up since we're getting close. Would you guys be up for a Friday post-con gathering? I can scope out some places. Maybe we cab convince some of the Valiant guys to join us.

I'll be taking plenty of pics. I only made it to the con on Friday last year (specifically for the Valiant panel), but I'm going all four days this year.

I can hang. I'll have to ditch my 16 year old son at a **SQUEE** bar or something but I think I can stick around.

Note to Greg: I just had to **SQUEE** myself. I have a new word for you to add to the list. :lol:

I found the bar/restaurant below that yelp says is good for kids. What does everyone think?

The floor closes at 7 on Friday, and Artist Alley at 8. How does 8:30ish sound?

Sounds good to me. Let's just make sure they have tables that can accommodate like 8 or more guys in case we get a decent group.

I'm not really sure what the space is like, but I'll try to swing by before Friday night. There's another place on the same block that might work as well.

My son is already making noises about staying later than the con. I'll see if I can bribe him.

Okay, potential change of plans. It sounds like we might be doing the office tour after the con closes tomorrow at 8. Fortunately, McGarry's is right around the corner from the Valiant offices, so we can pop off for a drink after that. (BTW, Atom! might be joining us.)

Actually…crap. I think the show floor closes at 7 and artist alley at 8. Watch this space tomorrow and I'll post the definitive final plans

I got the sense from a talk with Dinesh that Rai is pretty much a given based on what we know. Whatever the announcement is about the Q&W teaser appears to be the big reveal this weekend.
