Lash, I know statistics and stuff don't always help soothe nerves, but - http://suite101.com/article/airline-safety-a129826 http://www.executivetravelmagazine.com/articles/why-airplanes-are-safe Airplane crashes are less frequent than car crashes, even controlling for the fact that there are more cars and land vehicles. Of course, airplane accidents usually affect more people and are bigger when they do happen, but... they don't happen as often  And if it helps, you can always focus on the cute flight attendants

I plan on being in Chicago at least for a day. Really wish I could afford to get out to see you guys, but it is 99% doubtful at this point.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

Oh, very cool! I like the idea of pre-planning a few things. Not at the expense of spontenaity and serendipity, of course, but a few things to structure schedules around is not a bad thing at all. Once i have a firmer sense of my own plans, i have a few ideas i might propose (and take on organizer duties for). Originally posted by Nightcrawler: Originally posted by Quislet, Esq:

2013 is a rare year where the Conn dates don't conflict with my annual family vacation, so I'm going to do everything I can to get out there! FYI, for NYC people, Jet Blue direct flights from JFK to San Diego are pretty efficient.
I really am amped up to go to the Con to visit Artist's Alley and the independent publishers booths (like Drawn & Quarterly, or Archaea).
But really, I want to be part of the official 10 year LW anniversary. My goal is to get at least three Princess Leia's to visit the LW table.

If I make it out there, I'm going to wear a "Bring Back Lyle Norg" t-shirt.

Since we're talking about flights we were on that later crashed, I was on one of the 9-11 routes.
But probably living in Manhattan is more dangerous, and I do that every day.

Pre-planning events is great. Just keep Thursday night free; that's usually the night of W00tstock and that's become a must-see event for me at the con. Again, assuming that I'll be able to make it at all.
UPDATED: Preregistration for 2012 attendees was today and I bit the bullet and registered. I have four single-day badges which, based on this year, should be converted to a four-day badge before the con. Now I just need to determine whether I'm actually available that weekend.

If I can get a pass than I am in. It's just become more real. Anybody have advice on where to stay? I don't think I mind paying more to be closer to the con or at least a short ride on the train.

Haven't been here much, so I dare anyone to remember who I am, but I will be attending Comic-con in 2013... Contemplating cosplay in Rokk's classic 70s disco bustier, just need to find someone to make it for me  ...
Why are you laughing at me? It's unkind, as well as puzzling!

If I ever don a Cosmic Boy bustier, a pic will most definitely be posted here, haha, I promise!
I won't promise, however, that you won't go blind viewing it.

In terms of dates, it's looking good for my ability to attend the con (in other words, I don't have classes that weekend). Once we start getting closer, I'll definitely be interested in splitting hotel costs with someone or someones.

Good idea. No one has really done a "Who's Who" type thing of just Legion members in awhile. I'm thinking along the lines of the AMAZING WORLD OF DC COMICS #9 , but updated to the present time. I like! opportunity for our artists to draw, and our writers to do up some bios.
Collectables for ourselves, and for fandom in general! Artists and writers are needed to help with this project. Please help! I actually think it would be best to do an all-Legion version of the DC Comics Encyclopedia, but with current bios and fan art....the Legion Encyclopedia! I'll be the editor and bring it all together. And I guess I could "steal" from the Legion Wiki, but it would be nice for the fans here to participate and we'd need it all to be an overview of each character and not a step-by-step of every adventure they've had. Not to mention it would be a cool showcase for the artists here.
