100 Days 'til showtime!
Hope this isn't too far in advance, but who's coming? I've always seen some neat projects at NYCC.
The entire con closes ~10pm each night unless you're in one of the panel rooms (uhgh) so maybe we could plan a meet afterwards?
I'm going, even taking a plane from Denver to make it!
Just watch until the end. It's so true!!!! : ) Sheldon vs Leslie - YouTube
I'll be there and definitely interested in a meet up! It's my first Con, be gentle...
I'm going to try to make it. Would be my first NYCC. Any pointers for a newb?

If your budget's tight, your legs are your best friends that weekend, take care of them.
If there's a panel that will ruin the weekend for you if you miss it, get there at least one full panel early. My GF knows DIDLEY about Spider-man but she sat through a whole hour and a half long panel about Spidey just so she could still have that seat for Mark Hamill's following panel.
this will be my first comic con too!!!!!!!!!!
we should definitely find a time/place to meet up. is the decision gona be democratic or dictatorial?
So, who is going to be there! I will be in my witchblade gear!!! come say hurroh!
muhhaha now i can tell you its in the wrong forum, because theres an event forum no xD
if anyone pays me the 12 hour flight there and back i will be there xD
I'm pretty stoked on this. Sewing of stuff and fabrication doodads has already begun.
To NYCC vets,
Have you run into any problems with NYPD regarding a) cosplay b)cosplay weapons c)Cosplays where you're pretty tac'ed out?

i've gone to a few cons and events in the city carrying large blaster rifles but all metallic and MIB looking. cops def look, but once up close they will chuckle and just nod and not a big deal. but if your wear a tac vest, with straps and toy guns, def be prepared to get stopped or at least looked at thoroughly.
Yeah... post Aurora CO, I'd suggest walking in with orange tips already on and firmly attached to any gun replicas. Even at that you'll probably still get a dumb orange safety sticker plastered over the end.
The NYCC at the Jacob Javits Center is divided into four parts.
Autograph area (aka Artist's alley) vendor area (top floor) panel rooms (bottom floor) and of course, the comic sellers area. All of these parts are linked by the central lobby area along the front of the building.
DON'T assume that once you're past the front door you'll never see a cop again. There WILL be extra cops on the con floor.
Here is the 'true facts' right off the NYCC website

I'm considering it, since the last two years in a row it falls on the same weekend as Rock 'n' Shock in Worcester, MA. Effectively sapping all the "talent" away. Don't get me wrong, R+S is pretty rinky-dinky, but thats kinda what I liked about it.
We're thinking of exhibiting there this year...not sure yet. Maybe, we'll see. Love to see you all if we do!
David
I go as press every year, so I'll be there working.
The ironic thing about the above list is that many of the banned items are for sale on the showfloor.
Yes....I will be there, and possibly (fingers crossed) debuting something cool. Otherwise, come by the 501st Shoot The Trooper tent, and ask for Steve (the ECG CO).
I'll be going! Is there going to be an RPF get together anywhere?
I know saturday aftermath of convention me and a few rpf members will be going over to barcade in jersey city for some arcade games ..drinks and bacon nutella sandwiches lol
FYI if anyone's interested:

The animated series follows the bizarre misadventures of the Venture family, which includes world-renowned Dr. Venture, his dimwitted sons Hank and Dean as well as Brock Samson, their bodyguard assigned by the government to keep an eye on the family who is then promptly forgotten by the Feds.

They also happen to be legends in their own minds who will often sacrifice facts, lessons and syllabi for the sake of being awesome.

Fast-paced animation, flying guts, creepy underlings, and plenty of prison fights dominate the Wardens chaotic prison in Superjail!. The blood flows like wine and the line between criminal and keeper gets blurrier by the minute. Picture a kaleidoscope of entrails meets Jon Waters meets Shawshank damnation plus a sweaty muscle woman minus primetime sensibility. You are hereby guilty of being given what you asked for.

Just got my tickets the other day. Can't wait to meet Christopher Lloyd, Ian McDairmid, Peter Mayhew, and hopefully, Sean Aston, Tom Felton.
I can't wait! I'm going as the main character from my book.
Every time you shake hands with someone, lean in for a kiss. It may get a bit awkward with non-RPFers, but it's a price we may have to pay
