There will be a special guest signing on Saturday at the con! We're waiting for him to get be able to confirm it and then he will make the announcement himself. It will be a top sculptor in this industry so if you live nearby, you will be able to get your statues signed if you want!!

[Avenger]

Hey b_c you should try to make it up. :buttrock:

[Ghost]

Damn in August though, I'll be in Cali by then. But I can always hop on a cheap flight and swing back by the end of the weekend, I definitely wanna see who the sculptor is, since most of my stats will still be here in Chicago.

If I bring a block of super sculpey will they make me an original piece? :laugh:

[galactus]

I just booked my flight/hotel room for this (along with Ck13) since I'll be manning the booth with Drod. Just curious as to who is going to be there this year?

[Comicboy]

Boer and I will get down there again I'm pretty sure. I only live an hour and a half away so I can make that trip. Besides I'm still kicking myself in the head for not picking up a Barbarian last year! That guy had at least 6! Maybe I can find one this year...

Great news....Congrats!

[tuv1305]

Chicago's great. This will be like my sixth or seventh consecutive year going. I'm already counting down the days (116 as of today)

As far as hotels go, I can see where being connected to the convention center could be worth it if you're flying, but if you're driving, nah. We paid $180 a night the first couple years to stay at one of those hotels and then switched to a Hampton Inn 6 miles down the road. $70 a night means I have a lot more money to spend on statues.

[phrmcst]

D rod, Moore is a nice exclusive. Will you have a Moore sale prior to the show and allow members to pick up their pieces at the show and get signed?

I usually stay at a Marriot about 1-2 miles down the road. Close enough to walk to the show, but far enough away to not be overrun by comic geeks (at least that is how my wife sees it).

[rychehitman]

Well, the odds of me going just improved a bit today! Dont know if I would go for all three days, but I want to be there for the Saturday Clay Moore signing!

[Colossus]

Gah I don't know if I will be able to go wife is due Aug 21. and now Bowen will be there arggg!!!!

[kal-el]

I'm there this year , have my Cubs tickets for that weekend as well.

[tuv1305]

Did anybody go to the premiere night Thursday last year? It's included in the regular ticket price this year but we don't normally leave until Thurs. night-Friday morning around 2am to avoid the cross-Chicago traffic. If it's worth attending, we want to change our plans. I'm mainly hesitant because it's been my experience that on Sat-Sunday when they let the advance ticket holders in an hour early, a lot of the exhibitors don't bother showing up until the doors open for everyone. Thanks for any responses.

I attended it last year and it was cool. Everything was setup but not a lot fo peolpe were there and you could get good looks at everything. I would go if I were you.

That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks a lot for the reply, I'd given up on ever hearing anything on this. :)

[Ghost]

Oh wow if Clay's gonna be there and so is Randy, I gotta go! Great news!

[Achiever]

It's a great show. Nice deals, usually. I'll be there and check out the booth. Thanks fer the info.

An open letter to Danny!


Danny,

As you know I am always trying to come up with unique and creative ideas to assist you in your efforts in making SF.com a success!

I have yet another monumental idea that I want to share with you publically to get some feedback from our fellow forum members on.

With the recent mentioning of SF.com in Toyfare magazine, and the buzz that has been generated by the HH exclusive line, as well as the excitement of the chance that there may be a SF exclusive Bowen piece at WW-Chicago, I see an opportunity to promote SF.com and CS.com in a way that might get some media attention from the local Chicago affiliates and raise money for charity at the same time.

My equation is a simple one.....

CK13 + DUNK TANK + $5.00 + 3 Softballs = $$$$ Money for local kids charities in the Chicago area!

If you can get Coca there, you could charge $10 for 3 softballs!

Just wanted to pass this along to do what I can, as it looks like I will be unable to attend! I will keep thinking of more ideas and PM you when they strike!

~ryche :)

Ryche, You could charge $100.00 and I'd drop a grand. Especially if the tank were filled with piranha. It'd be the only time in history that Piranha didn't go into a feeding frenzy when something hit the water.

[Collection King 13]

I wonder what exclusives will be available at this show...

[phrmcst]

I see where Bowen's White Moon Knight is included in the $1000 Toy Fair VIP ticket package. 5 available.
You also get a Hulk Hogan mint figure. :tounge:

Still waiting to see what, if anything, is included in the $150 Toy Fair VIP package which is what I purchased last year to get the Black Queen bust which ended up being available to the public the next day anyway. But did like not have to wait in line to get in so maybe the price was worth it.

[madjazz]

I am tenatively flying in on Thursday and out at lunchtime on Sunday. I have to find out abuot switching some vacation days before i lock in. I'm going to shoot for the Embassy Suites across from the convention center as well.

My wife will be travelling with me and I don't see her doing the convention on Friday and Saturday. She'll likely do the convention on Saturday but not Friday. She wants to go downtown Chicago to a museum or two and maybe even the zoo. Anyone else have a wife going that would be up for a side trip on Friday?

[madjazz]

I can personally vouch for the RAM as being a great place. Tons of big screen TVs, a separate dining area, good beer.

As an aside, that was the bar I was in when the Cubs gave away their playoff game with the interfering fan. Boy you could feel the joy just get sucked right out of the place. Creepy.

What are you? 90 years old or something that you are worried about sound levels?

[tuv1305]

Anybody know how hard it is to get to the Imax theater in Chicago from the convention area? We're hoping to hit Superman Returns in Imax 3d if it's still playing around then. No idea how long the shows stick around in that format, as none of us have ever been...

The Woodfield Mall area is about 20 minutes away from the convention center. It is the largest retail space mall in America. (The Mall of America is the largest, but when you remove the rides, etc and just leave the stores, Woodfield is BIGGER.) There has got to be a movie theatre in there somewhere. Look under Schaumburg, IL

That sounds cool, may have to check it out. Although we've been going for several years, we haven't really explored too much because none of us wants to wind up lost in Chicago. However, I'd really like to experience Supes in Imax 3-d, so the other two will just have to grin and bear it as we venture into the unknown. Thanks for the response

There is an IMAX to the NE in Lincolnshire and to the S in Woodridge. Both are in a 1 hour radius of Schaumburg, but probably further than you want to go.

Mod - change my vote from a Maybe to a Yes, please.

Madjazz and Mrs. Madjazz are coming out on Thursday and leaving Sunday early afternoon. I'll be at the convention on Friday and Saturday (Mrs. will be there some of the time).

Looking forward to seeing a bunch of Forum members that I have not yet met in person. I missed Danny on the trip he made to NYC (edit), and the storm killed his planned return trip. Also looking forward to seeing some members I have already met. I'll also see CK13 again. :D

I'm going to try and hit downtown Chicago with the wife on Thursday.

This will be cool.

Guess I didn't get the memo :sly2:

Guess what I am asking is..are we going to try to get a party room somewhere? 24 people have said they will be there, another 5 I know will be there that said the might or didn't vote. So we are looking at a possible 25-30 people. May be tough getting a place for all of us. :)

Why are any of you looking for a "place" at all!

Armitage lives in Chicago!

Nuff Said! :eplus2:

Me and Comicboy will be driving on down again this year, not sure what day though. I wouldn't mind knocking back a couple of cold ones with any of you guys! It would be great to finally put some faces to some names. :)
