[toranoshi]

The Baltimore Con is Saturday Sept. 8th and Sunday the 9th. Who all is going to be there? I will be there Saturday through Tuesday for the Retailer Summit. I know that Billy and Mark will be there as well. Anyone else?

Ummmm...

[sllamky01]

I'm Trying or should I say I'm Hopeing.
Many things have to fall into place. so I do not know for sure yet.
I fould out that if I do good on my State test on thursday that week I will not have class on Friday.
But that is only one peice of the puzzel that must fall into place.

[dingolord]

I was planning to, but now it doesn't look like I'll be going after all.  Silly thing about trips is that you need money for them... 

September snuck up on me.

Let us all know if you get any good freebies!  Don't they usually give out some good stuff to shop owners?

I'll definitely be at the show and the summit. I have the debut of both Antiques and Zombie-Proof.

And it's the best guest list ever for a medium-sized show http://scoop.diamondgalleries.com/scoop_article.asp?ai=16109&si=124. This article includes most of the variants, but Top Cow will also have a Madame Mirage #2 Baltimore Comic-Con edition.

Here's my Baltimore Comic-Con cover:

OOH! OOH! OOH! <arm raised like Horshack>

Could this mean what I think it means?

Marvel Enterprises, Inc. – Ultimate Spider-Man #112 Exclusive White Variant 

[pctchuck]

I'd love to get a copy of the con version of Madame Mirage #2 and perhapse a copy of the con version of Zombie Proof signed by anyone who might be involved with that book (hint, hint!).
Love to know what the Abstract Studios print will look like as well.

From what I can gather, yes the back cover will be completely blank. Once I have it in hand I will put the pics up

The cool thing is that the whole creative team (well, minus letterer Marshall Dillon) will be there, including convention cover artist Neil Vokes!

I will do my best to achieve it. And I will post all of the pics of swag when I get back from the con.

[JAvery]

So far, my ride is still confirmed as going so I will be going as well, woohoo!  I've gone every year since I've moved down to VA in May of '05 (whew, hard to think it's been that long already).

Who else is going, maybe we can meet up within the convention center?  Providing Billy doesn't get security to escort me out for getting all fanboyish!

[pctchuck]

Don't worry, Billy is used to fanboyishness.

[orcafresh]

Yeah, he soon forgets us all...
