Also, as an FYI, autograph and photo op prices are up on the website. This year seems pretty reasonable to me as the vast majority of the celebrities are charging $40 or less.

Of course the ones I am wanting are asking above $40. And Clark Gregg.... That price is insane and the tipping point I am not willing to pay for his autograph of $80... or even a photo op at $99. I know it's all the agents who decide this stuff into the costs for having him there, but that is awfully high of a price to ask for him. I mean Stan Lee is even less, and he is basically the God of Marvel.

Oh.... Also JUST announced, firesprite:


Finn Jones
Best known for his role as Ser Loras Tyrell on HBO's Game of Thrones, the Arts Educational School-trained actor has also starred in the films Wrong Turn 5, Sleeping Beauty, and The Last Showing. He started out as Jamie in the UK's Channel 4 series Hollyoaks, and also spent some time (and space) on The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Re: Emerald City ComiCon 2015 Updated 01/26/15

This is definitely one of the best announcements out of many of them. i wonder how many are yet to be revealed left with the full programming schedule coming next month, right?

So excited to see Anthony Daniels is coming to ECCC!
 
Re: Emerald City ComiCon 2015 Updated 01/26/15

Educated guess? I'd expect to see another two or three celebrity guests announced before the con. I don't have any insider info, but that's my thought.

I still have my fingers crossed on Peter Dinklage, but my understanding is that he doesn't really do cons because they're really uncomfortable for him. Still... I would LOVE to get a chance to meet him.
 
Re: Emerald City ComiCon 2015 Updated 01/26/15

I can't wait to meet John Barrowman! I'm saving my money so I can get his autograph and a picture with him.

I'm going to be Amy Rose and Unikitty.

Can't wait to enjoy con for Saturday and Sunday. :)

Re: Emerald City ComiCon 2015 Updated 02/09/15

Show floor layout and locations of the various exhibitors and artists went live earlier this morning, so I thought I'd share this... complete with handy-dandy little arrow to show where my table will be during the con.

As you can see, we're up on the top level, a proverbial stone's throw from the media guests (which should, theoretically, give us a LOT of traffic). Also, note, based on the number of media guests announced and the number of berths for them, we have 1 more celebrity announcement coming in the next few weeks.
