C2E2 Chicago

[firesprite]

Anyone want to lay bets on if Nicholas Brendan walks out on the con like he did here?

On the upside, there look to be a couple decent novelists going.

im thinking bout going-- Train in from Geneva, taxi to McCormick no driving or parking. Wonder if they will let me on the train carrying Mjolnir or Thunderstrike????

On Metra? They have a bar car. I'm sure a giant hammer is nowhere near the weirdest thing they've seen.

I just saw this. Right in my backyard. Might have to dust off Han Solo. Do a lot of people dress or is it mostly collectors.

 

[Deathstalker II]

Lots of costumes, actually. It's like a more intimate but cooler Wizard World.

I'm definitely there all weekend. Went to Wizard World last year and had a blast.
So if this is cooler than that, I'm even more excited!

I`ll be there in plain clothes.....


But for WWC...


The Shadow will return.




See you at C2E2.

[Chicagovader]

I was there all 3 days as The Punisher from Warzone and had a blast.

 

[ModernDayMarc]

Oh man,
I was there all three days as well and it was a blast!!
I didn't want to leave, wish it was longer =] Can't wait til next year.
In the mean time, if any of you know of any cons in the midwestern area,
I'd love to know about them...

Chicago Comic-con is in August. It used to be Wizard World. However, it is much more an entertainment show now, and I hear it's not all that great (never been myself).

Here's the link: Chicago Comic Con Wizard World Convention: Chicago, Wizard Conventions, Comic Convention, Wizard World Chicago, Wizard World Tour, Wizard World

If you're into horror films. Flashback weekend is that same weekend, and I believe across the street from it. http://www.flashbackweekend.com/

It's been more and more like a flea market with the occasional A-List guest and a lot of has beens. Last year was a cluster**** with the organization and crowd control for the panels. Particularly with the lines for the Felicia Day and Bruce Campbell panels that were forming and with the crowd leaving the Patrick Stewart panel AT THE SAME TIME.

Was at C2E2 on Saturday and had a blast. Next up is ACen!
