San Diego Comic-con 2011--what should I bring

Stan Sakai · Post by **Stan Sakai** » Tue Jun 28, 2011 14:02 -0700

Well, it's that time. Comic-con is right around the corner. If you would like me to bring anything in particular for you, let me know. This includes a specific issue you are looking for, a hardcover, artwork, Albedo #2, and other miscellaneous items.

I will keep your wanted items "under the table" until Saturday mid-morning, then will put them up for table sale unless other arrangements are made.

Except for Books 24 and 25, I will not be bringing hardcovers. So if you are in need of one of the older HCs, please let me know. This also goes for the Special Edition Box Set. I will not be bringing many of these as they are very heavy.

Either post your wants on this thread or PM me. If you had placed a order weeks or months ago, please place it again. All these conventions run together, and, no doubt, I've already forgotten it.

After San Diego, I will be going to conventions in Baltimore, Montreal, Long Beach, and (next year) Washington DC, Kansas City, and Portland, OR.

I will pick up the sketchbook from the printer on July 13. I don't think I will have the time to offer them for mail order before the convention.

Sorry to keep going off-topic, and I also really appreciate your replies, but I have another inquiry.....

Have you heard anything from Dark Horse (or Fantagraphics) about any Usagi promotional stuff to be made available at this years convention?

i.e. posters, buttons, signing cards, etc

I have not heard of any promo items yet, though DH usually gives out something.

Is there anybody going to SDCC that's willing to grab some swag and mail it to a brotha out here in Hawaii? Thanks.

If anyone can finagle me one (or more) of the following hardcovers I will do a special happy dance:

Space Usagi, Book 10, Book 12, Book 14, Book 16, Book 21

PM me if something can be worked out. Thanks and thank you, Stan!

An "Old West Usagi" commission I had noted you about before. Assuming you have time in this hectic push to get ready for the con. Look forward to seeing you there!

The usual item I pick up... plus the HC we talked about on FB. Don't worry, I will have plenty of one dollar bills...

Hi Stan,
I'm coming to Comic-Con for the first time ever this year, and really looking forward to it.
Are there any copies of the Spanish Sketchbook left for sale? If so, I'd love to buy a copy from you.

cynlee · Post by **cynlee** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 12:00 -0700

Okay-- I've PMed you, Stan, on the lists of things I have been requested to pick up for three dojo members who can't make it this year.

BUT-- I forgot to say ONE new sketchbook for myself as well as what I told you in the PM.

Thanks.

There will be a new sketchbook--number 8. I hope to pick it up from the printer this week.
