Any of the NC or SC gents going to this one?

It's $3 to get in, and it's in the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

I will be back in NC so I plan on checking it out.

Wow - so soon after Christmas???

Why can't one of these things be in Raleigh? A 3-hour drive to Charlotte is not one of my fave things.....

Most likely I will not make it.

It's doubtful that I will make it either with money being so tight right now and that being Christmas and winter (fuel oil bill)...

We burn wood, so if I get cold I can just burn comics....

You must have a stack of Deathmates handy to use for kindling.

There will be one in Raleigh on Dec 7th at the Holiday Inn at Crabtree. 919-844-1758

I would attend this one as well, but I have to spend some time with the family.

I know that show - Lynne puts out a great effort, but those shows are usually what I call "cruise-throughs"...

Yep. God, I haven't been to one of Lynne's shows in over 10 years...

Gents,

The convention is the same day this year, and I will be going back to it. As you can see from last year, their was some good Valiant to be found.

Let's get the NC crew together.

If I had the money, bro... I'd be there.

Who knows, time will tell.

I'd love to but I will be out of state in Missouri with my in-laws. I also with with slym's post above from last year that I would be much more likely to attend if this was in Raleigh, Durham, or even Greensboro. Charlotte is clear across the state for me...

There are enough of us in NC to have our own poker night though if anyone's home can accomodate...

tarheelmarine · Post by **tarheelmarine** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 8:42 pm

I will post what I pickup tomorrow.

Got it and 3 other books for $15. A little much, but it's in pristine shape.
