Nice! Will you be a guest with a table or just walking around?

I will probably get a table, but traditionally I am never very busy at anime cons. I do get work done at these shows, though.

I just made my hotel reservation for WonderCon. Oh, if only it was so easy for San Diego hotels.

Count me in if there is! Haven't bought a ticket yet, but I'll probably just go one day.... Saturday is my guess. Would really like to meet some more Dojoers! I enjoyed meeting Maka at Long Beach, but I think we were all short on time.

Yes I think a Dojo pic/gathering is definitely in order. Probably Saturday since that seems to be the most popular day. This is my first time going to WonderCon. I am imagining it will be similar to how SDCC was back in the late-80s/early 90s?

I haven't been to Heroes in about 12 years.
Usagi and Groo in the same room?! Comic heaven!

I really hope you are able to make it. HeroesCon is the only major con I can attend. I missed your previous appearance(s) at DragonCon in Atlanta due to work issues. So your being able to visit Charlotte this summer would make this year sweet indeed!

If there's another big comic convention in London next year, maybe we can persuade Stan to attend that...? ;)

I will be canceling a few conventions. I was still in negotiations with them, so my participation had not been announced anyway.

The only one that had definitely been announced was March's Planet Comicon in Kansas City. I have already taken it off the list on the first page of this thread. I still plan to be at the others on the list.

Hopefully you don't cancel Portland. It will be my daughters first comic show. She'll be 7 months by then and ready to look for comics.

I do plan on being at Stumptown in Portland. However, I was to first go up to Seattle for some signings, but canceled that part. Dark Horse is headquartered in the Portland area, and I really would like to meet with Editor Diana and Mike Richardson.
