If you listen to the podcast, you may have heard a few other names tossed around that were tentatively going to do signings. Alas, due to scheduling conflicts, Michael Emerson, Carrie Preston and Paul Pope will not be able to make it. Sorry kids! Rest assured, I'll get them on the show at some point since they are pals and I'll make them. :)
Also, some of these signing times are tentative and may change due to schedules. A few other folks may pop over (like my roomie Ben Templesmith) to do a signing if they have time so always good to check in on us. For the most part, it's a lock!
I wont be at the booth at all times as I may be off getting interviews but do stop by and say "Hi!" any time. Jen Timms will be my right hand at the show and several other friends will be helping out as well.
The raffle will offer some great prizes so come on by! Lots of graphic novels, signed comics and other treats were donated for the raffle. Thanks to the likes of Dynamite Entertainment, G4TV, Garth Ennis, DC Comics, IDW Publishing, Dark Horse Comics, NBC, Ben Templesmith, Fred Van Lente, Greg Pak, Dean Haspiel, Mike Maihack, Richard Starkings, 2000AD, Dan Panosian, and more! Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. Best bet is to show up right before the raffle, buy a boatload of tickets and hang out to win! Plus, your ticket stays in the box so you can win again all weekend. And remember, the more tickets you buy, the better chance you have to win. Go figure!
You'll also see me doing interviews at the booth with your favorite creators! I'll be at various parties all weekend and am throwing my own Dead Dog party on Sunday night. Alas, not open to everyone but if I know you and there's room, I'll see what I can do!
And...if you're a cosplayer, please stop by so we can take pictures!
So come on by the COMIC NEWS INSIDER booth (D18) in Podcast Arena in Artist's Alley this weekend! See you there!
UPDATE: Carrie Preston WILL do a signing on Sunday from 12-2pm! Bring some True Blood paraphenelia to get signed!
