Thanks for the offer. nope. I'm actually across the lake, and I'll be going down I-87 by bus. too bad. I'll see you there in any case.

Do you still have all those naked teenagers walking about? Well... hopefully not in December! Would it really be Brattleboro without them?  Used to pass through there all the time when my sister lived in NH.

...  I may have to bow out. I just checked bus tix prices, almost 2ce what I expected. As much as I'd love to go, it's a lot of dough for an extended day trip (I'd be riding the bus overnights there and back. More than half my San D airfare - and I don't have thr budget now that I did over the summer). ADDED: Actually, flights are only a few bucks more... hmmm...

Just bought my ticket (Is it odd that I'm most excited to meet Jim Shooter?) I'm just going up for Saturday, but might crash in the city that night. Let me know of any hotel deals you found out about, Rhino. Thanks.

I should have $ by then... but I may also have to go to the City the weekend before.
Other than using the airports, I haven't spent any time in the City in years (probably not since my first meeting with Darden and Jen, in '05) - so right now it seems like a bit much to do two weekends in a row, both in cost and losing two weekends of work-time.
I may also rent a car (if I go). If so, I might be able to find a friend to stay overnight with in the Poughkeepsie area.

That's just what you want the feds to think. Nice paper trail to throw them off your real course...

So, for those going. Should we exchange cell phone numbers? Designate a meeting area? Make plans for dinner?
I'll be there all three days (although leaving early on Sunday)

So er, anyone buy their ticket yet? I haven't really bothered to check any of that stuff yet, but probably should. I know, I know, I'm the worst at this

Off the subject sort of--Can anyone recommend a decent, safe, somewhat affordable hotel near Manhattan? Unfortunately, we would be going in June. Just wondering.
Long Live all them Legions!

I think I might go, but I have a question.
Can artists and writers autograph fanart?

I imagine it all depends on the writer or artist. Most of the professionals I've met at cons have been very accommodating, although I've never really asked them to autograph anything other than their own work. Give it a shot.
For those going, here's a high level list of some of the Legion-y types that will be there:
Al Plastino
Geoff Johns
George Perez
Jim Shooter
As well as:
Andy Lanning
Chris Batista
Colleen Doran
Dan Abnett
Greg Larocque
J. Torres
Jim Starlin
Joe Staton
Karl Story
Mark Waid
Olivier Coipel
and Sanford Greene.
Pretty nifty.

If the artist gives me permission, I wanna see if I could get Geoff Johns to autograph that contest prize, of the Toon Legion meeting Comic Legion.
And, Nei Ruffino and Joe Prado are gonna be there. I love her coloring work in Green Lantern and Grimm Fairy Tales, and I like the way Prado draws Batman and LL.

it kills me that except for the Hero Initiative Charity Art Auction, there is no other listing of when and where Geroge Perez will be at. he'll probably be signing at the DC booth but i'd like to know when and where so i can get a good spot on line because i know there will be a huge line wherever he's at.

Here's a cheap but safe hotel a couple of blocks from the Javits center. It's directly across the street from the apt.building I lived in for a few years and it's walking distance from Times Square.
