| Every year during Wizard World Chicago, collectors of all things comic get together to indulge in food, drink and song (okay, maybe not song). This year's dinner is on Saturday August 20th at 8 PM at Gibsons Steakhouse, directly across the street from the convention center. In previous years, attendees had the distinct pleasure to meet and talk to such great comic luminaries as: Neal Adams Bernie Wrightson Joe Jusko Maggie Thompson Michele Nolan This is an evening for collectors of comics (new and old), OA, pulps, BLBs to meet and hang out, indulging our inner comic geek. It's an opportunity for anyone to show off pieces from their collection, things they picked up at the con that day, or drool over once-in-a-lifetime books like: Action 1 Tec 27 Comics from the top GA pedigrees (Church, Larson, San Fran, etc) Details: Dinner is Saturday Aug 20th at 8 PM. It'll be held in the Stephens Room (also referred to as the Fireplace Room). Doors will open at 7 PM to allow attendees to get properly liquored up before dinner  It's a cash bar, so don't blow all that money on comics. The menu consists of the following:House salad ( Your choice of one of the following: ) Center Cut Filet Mignon 10oz WR Chicago Cut 22oz Spicy Niman Ranch Pork Chop Broiled Salmon Spit Roasted Chicken Baked Potato Vegetable Combination Platter **If you're attending and you're a vegetarian or have a food allergy, please PM me so I can pass that information along to Gibsons** The cost is $85 per person. It's quite a bit of money, I know, but you're getting Flintstones-sized cuts of beef, an opportunity to see and talk to comic book icons, and meet fellow collectors at one of Chicago's premiere steakhouses Payment can be done via Paypal (PM me for details) Feel free to PM me with any questions |

 I've spent years perfecting my brand of assholery.

| Borock saved my life one year by giving me the key to his hotel room. I'll never forget it. | ||
