San Diego Comic Con!

Out of curiosity, how many people are planning on going? We're hoping to get a meet-up set up.

Also anyone planning on going to the Slashers Dinner this year?

Yep! Various little, and I do mean little, ones peppered throughout the year, but the big one is usually the last weekend in August.

Really it's hardly fair to even compare it to a con like San Diego. The "Fan Expo Canada" is a conglomeration exhibition of somewhat inter mingling hobbies. Comics, Anime/Manga, Gaming, Horror, and Sci-Fi. They do try to get some noteworthy guests every year and tend to succeed. Worth checking out though, it's not a very expensive ticket or anything. :)

Isn't that the con that the one year the guests of honour were William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy? I remember it was huge news when they were in town, and it was at kind of a multi-con.

That would be awesome to go to, but this year I've had to say no to cons. I'm trying to save up for San Diego Comic Con next summer and the Harry Potter Con in Orlando in 2010 (amusement park, yay!). AND (hopefully) go back to Anime North. That was a blast too.
