I am going to try and go but it is uncertain yet. I live in southeastern NC, 30 mintues south of Goldsboro. Where are you in NC?

Outside of Burlington. Maybe an hour away from the con.

I went to heroes con in 06, met Warren Ellis, Matt Fraction and Brian Wood, Joey Q, and JG Jones.
Got sketchs from Ethan Van Scriver, Colleen Doran, and a lot of others.

It will likely be the best con I will ever attend. And all i had to do was convince my father in law whos from Elon, NC to postpone his annual 12 hour road-trip down there, take the wife and kid as well. Ditch family with rental car drive 2 hours south to charlotte, all because I wanted to meet warren ellis.

Shelton (Heroes Aren't Hard to Find store owner and head of the show) always puts on a great show and what's awesome about it is that it's a very "comic" oriented show.

At one point this show was behind only Chicago, New York, and San Diego.

Great atmosphere, great creators, huge venue...it's usually a can't miss for me.
