WonderCon 2016

Post by chriskay99 »

Exhibitor and Artist Alley lists are up and posted. Image Comics is back again, thankfully. Really enjoyed the talent they had at their booth last year. :high-five:

VEI will also have a booth.

Talent related to Valiant...looks like Bernard Chang, Ming Doyle, Clayton Henry, Paolo Rivera.

Feel free to add to this thread, and post if you're going to be there. I have weekend passes and am glad I don't have to drive to Anaheim this year!

I got my pass today. I was denied a press pass, which I completely do not understand. Anyway I will talk to someone about it when I am there for sure. I wish it was still in Anaheim personally, but it is about the same distance from Phoenix so whatever. Only thing I am not sure of is which days I am going or where I am staying. I bought a 3 day pass but not sure if I will go all 3 days.

I think the plan is to return to Anaheim when the construction on the Anaheim Convention Center is complete.

That is my understanding too, yet they keep mentioning actually wanting to return to SF. I guess we'll see!

Sadly I think LA is a one year thing, too. I keep hearing talk of retuning to SF but I think they could realistically run both. Do like a WonderCon North and a WonderCon South. They're killing it with attendance down here in SoCal. It blows away anything else in California besides San Diego of course.

Haha as much as I dislike the Dodgers, Vin Scully is a legend and one of the greatest of all time. It is just terrible that he was stuck with the Dodgers all this time and their underachieving ways.

My bad. Jerry Coleman was just the better rookie of the year. And allstar. And World Series mvp. And decorated WWII fighter pilot. And decorated Korean War fighter pilot. :P

I'm looking forward to it. Still miss it being in San Francisco, but we'll see how the show does in LA. Definitely not mad about the travel this year. :wink:

Sweet! I know you always do well at this show so this is great news man. Though knowing you will be working the booth means less time to hang out. But I am sure we will find some time to grub.
