Big Reminder: Seattle's Emerald City ComicCon This Weekend!
Wednesday, May 07, 2008 - 06:29 PM
Washington-ians! Seattle-ites! People of the Northwest in general! Big reminder that this weekend is Emerald City Comic-Con (Sat, 10-6; Sun 10-5)!
Emerald City has quickly become my favorite convention, because A.) There are tons of Sheldon readers in and around Seattle, B.) The convention itself is super fun, C.) This particular con' will be the first time my friends and "How To Make Webcomics" co-authors will be in one booth, signing together, and D.) We'll be giving a featured talk, also called "How To Make Webcomics," at the show.
It really is going to be a great time. If you can make it, don't miss it! I'll be giving out free sketches to Sheldonistas of all shapes and sizes (There were lots of kids, last time I went to Seattle — which was very fun)...and I'll be chattin' and givin' out the Commemorative, Limited Edition, 2008 Emerald City Comic-Con High Fives (Note: Only bringing 65. Get yours quickly, while supplies last).
Also, to say "thank you" to all the Sheldon readers who do make it out, all Sheldon Original Strips will be $25 off the normal price at the show. So if you've had your eye on a specific strip, now's your chance to snag it! Just e-mail me to make sure I bring your favorite.
Thanks! See you there!

I shall be there! I'm bringing my copy of HTMW for all of you to sign. And free sketches?! Awesome!
I want a picture of Oso, Flaco and Arthur re-creating all five endings of the The Return of the King (or is it six?) Just Kidding! I am a sucker for ducks though, so Arthur's my man!
Can't wait to meet you and the rest of the crew! I'll be the chubby guy with a goatee and glasses... I'm sure I'll really stick out from the crowd. lol

I'm up in Calgary, Canada, but hoping to make the trek across to Vancouver BC and then head south. It's a 2 hr flight to Vancouver and then about a 4.5hr drive south, but should be worth it!! I'll be the guy showing up as they close the doors at the end of the day... :)

If you have a break in comic mania, bring Oso or just yourself to Pugmania! Hundreds of pugs snorting and hyping all in one place, fabulous fun! Pugmania is at Magnuson Park. Come on out and get snorfled!

Unfortunately, my unemployment budget and the ComicCon entry fees just don't mix. :) Have a great time, Dave, I'll wave hello in the general direction of the Space Needle on Saturday!

I'll be there! I'm a sucker for ducks as well.
Perhaps there are more "duck suckers" in the Great Pacific Northwest than elsewhere, and thus the great popularity in this region.

I'm really disappointed I won't be able to be there this year -- I was totally looking forward to having you four sign my copy of HTMWC, and many of the panels look great.
Stupid Mother's Day, necessitating a drive up to Canada! >:[
I was also hoping to have a table in Artist's Alley, but they sold out too quickly. Oy. Next year!
