Title: Motor City Comic Con - May 15-17, 2009
Post by: Rico on April 23, 2009, 06:36:56 AM
The Motor City Comic Con is back this year, and it appears bigger than ever.  The dates are May 15-17th.  The big guest this year is Carrie Fisher.  A lot of other guests will be there like:  Erin Gray, Gil Gerard, Tony Todd, Garrett Wang, James Cawley, Bruce Davison, Catherine Hicks, and many more.  I will probably be going on Saturday, May 16th.  Anyone in the nearby area that would like to come on over and meet up, let me know.  It's a lot of fun and not too expensive.  You can learn more at:  www.motorcityconventions.com (//http://) (//http://)

Here's some of the video I took last year:

Well, I may be a little tall to be a stormtrooper but I think I'll go this year.  Hoping the overweight guy dressed up as "wonder" woman will not be there. **shiver**
