2007 Convention Schedule
Here’s a list of the conventions I’m planning to attend. I’ve also listed the conventions (in grey italics) that I’m considering, but haven’t committed to.
The bad news is that Chicago is officially a scratch for 2007. I’m awfully sorry about that. I was planning to skip San Diego this year and attend Chicago instead, but I just did too well in San Diego to skip in this year. Unfortunately, that trip eats up the lion’s share of my travel budget.
The good news is I’m adding another East-Coast con: SPXpo in Bethesda, Md.
New York Comic Con: February 23-25.Emerald City Comic Con: March 31st-April 1st.Wizard World Philadelphia: June 15-17
Comic Con International: July 26-29.
Baltimore Comic Con: Sept. 8-9
SPXpo (Bethesda, Md): Oct. 12-13
PhilCon: NovemberSince my Eisner Award nomination was announced, I’ve been e-mailed the same question over and over: “When are you coming *here*?” The answer is: As soon as I get invited to a convention near your town. Write the promoters of your favorite comic con and let them know! And if you’re a convention promoter and/or if you help organize a comic convention please
get in touch and we can discuss how to make that happen.
