Title: Motor City Comic Con 5/14
Post by: Rico on April 27, 2011, 06:32:52 PM
I will be attending the Motor City Comic Con (in Novi, MI) again this year.  It runs from May 13-15, but I will be there on Saturday May 14th.  This should be a lot of fun.  If anyone happens to feel like dropping by, I have a couple of spare bedrooms.  No joke, I know a few of you are within a reasonable driving range - hint, hint.  :)

Media guests this year include:  Kate Mulgrew, Brent Spiner, George Takei, Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict, Tricia Helfer, Sam Huntington, Peter Mayhew, and many more.  There are also a ton of comic book writers and artists too.

Details here:

I would love to listen to Kate Mulgrew!  But I have to attend a friend's graduation from college that Saturday.

Nice guest list. It would be fun, but I'm saving up for one that will be in Columbus in October. Mid-Ohio Comic Con. The guest list so far isn't as good though.

Come on up for the MCCC too Will.  Cheap lodging and the con isn't that pricey!  ;)

Man I'd love to go. I'm ashamed to admit it but I've actually never been to a huge Con.  Sounds like fun, enjoy Ric!

Same here, almost got to one with a WoW guildie here in Toronto but I ended up having to travel that weekend. Really gotta do a big con one of these days.

Oddly that seems like an appropriate place to run into Mr. Spiner :)

This actually did happen.  After his talk at the con a couple years ago I had to use the rest room and Brent was in there doing what no android ever needed to do - lets just say.  Pretty funny actually.

Well, had a good time at the con today and will have some hopefully fun stuff to talk about tomorrow on the podcast.  Took a good deal of pics too.  I'll get those up on my Flickr page soon too.  Here are a couple sample pics:

That's not even close to how many t-shirts that one place sells.  Hundreds of choices to pick from.
