| Do a lot of you guys travel to various cons or do you just hit the events in your area? We don't get a lot of events in my area if at all, so just wondering what are some of the better ones to attend? |

| Well i have gone out of state twice for a con. I have been to Dallas Fan Expo and loved the Con. My plan next year to hit Alamo City Comic Con next year or Denver Comic Con. I go to my local con to aupport them and most are non hosted by the Library or good causes. Never wrong to be at local cons | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by huskershawn69 I really enjoy Baltimore! Its a cheap airport to fly in to and cheap places to stay if your from out of town. As a bonus, a lot of the con exclusive covers are the same as NYCC. |

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

| I'm only really able to get to the ones in my area. Mainly Planet Comicon in Kansas City & sometimes Wizard World St. Louis if I can afford it & they have enough guests I want to see to justify the long drive & the huge expense. went to Wizard World Des Moines the first year when they actually had awesome guests & it didn't suck like this year. | ||

| I travel for a living all across the lower 48 but I hardly have time to stop at the cons so I only get to the ones in Cincinnati really as my lady likes to go with | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by MR_SigS Not worth it. Portland smells, too. It's weird. I don't think anybody there can smell it because they are desensitized? Odd. I kid, but seriously there is a smell. The Wizard World Con itself there, and Rose City are both nice shows. I think Wizard World is better organized however. The minions at Rose City were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. I was disappointed with the handling of the Stan Lee VIP ticket holders and not scanning the autograph tickets separately , yadda yadda... Cons can be a drag if you let them. The traffic, the people, the lines, the logistics. My advice? If you go locally...CALL A CAB. Best thing I ever did in 6 years of going. Each year in Seattle it's like the shows get bigger and bigger. It's crazy. Last 2 years they went from a 2 day show to a 3 day show and they took over the entire convention center AND the Macy's Buiding. I bet it's going to rapidly become the next San Diego or NYCC because we are so close to Vancouver. |

| For the cincy cons try going to mammoth cave and staying around there. It's 3.5 hrs away however its an extremely cheap vacation and extremely cool. Quality Inn for like 80 bucks (as good as a 150 dollar con room) and the cave tours are like $20 each. I leave from Detroit area take the family on vacation there then we stop in cinci for me on the way home. | ||
