Panel I know they'll have for sure by talking to one of the guys there that some fans here will be interested in is the Venture Brothers Panel.

[Kazari]

Are the Mirage guys not going this year? I thought they were. I have reservations but I'm probably not going to go if they don't show up. Also btw, Scott Williams told me he will have a booth this year for his WitchHunter comic.

[Michaelangelo]

I heard the Mirage guys are going, though I'll post them as I know which ones from Mirage are going.

[CriticalCrittles]

Did I hear Venture Bros panel?! I'm SO THERE! Buying my ticket asap, I'll comment when it's official lol

[WolfofMibu]

Ninja Please and I will be going again.

[Phoenix]

So... anyone wanna buy me a plane ticket up there that weekend as a birthday gift? Eh? Anyone? Anyone?

[Michaelangelo]

No plane ticket PG, but you could ride with me since I'm driving.

Great to hear you're going to be there Blue!  Can't wait to see NinjaPlease and you again!!!!!!!

[Phoenix]

I'm gonna have to think about it and talk it over with hubby. I know he'd want to go, but he isn't he best in crowds and work never wants to leave him alone.

[Silver Sentry]

Count me in!!!!!!!!

[Shredder]

I'll be going...Probably Saturday and Sunday, or Maybe Friday and Saturday.  Not sure which...

[Phoenix]

I think it's pretty set in stone that I won't be going to this con. Much sadness.

[CriticalCrittles]

Aww Phoenix   Bummer

[Michaelangelo]

I really wish you could come PG

On other news I know Crittle and I are looking to room together for this convention, but anyone else looking for people to share a room with to help cut the cost?  I don't usually spend a lot of time at the hotel, so I'm willing to stay just about anywhere, perfer in NJ since it's usually cheaper and free parking at the hotels... Only thing is I do need to be able to stay in one of the beds, because of the pain I'm usually in on these trips, though I do share beds with no problem... (as long as no one kicks or punches me while they sleep )  

Usually I have no problem with up to 5 people in the room.  So if there's anyone else going that needs a crash space and is willing to pay their share of the room, please do let me know.

Nights planning on a room :   Thursday Night to Monday Morning.

[CriticalCrittles]

Crittle has officially registered for this event!

[Kazari]

Ivey: I think if I do go to this one..it's still up in the air depending when I can get the time off They still haven't passed the vacation schedule around in my office so I won't know for sure if I'm going or not till like late February But anyways, I think my room is packed because I'll have NinjaPlease, Mibu, and perhaps my friend Becky XD!
