I would love too come too this but we'll have too see! If i ca get cheap enough flights (usually around £650) and then cash too spend! I won't guarantee but it's a maybe! It's be awesome to have a beer with you. I know it's tough for you to make it though because it's so freaking expensive. Plus the location isn't ideal for you. Orlando is a much better vacation spot for you. Also, go Rays tonight. I was pissed they put out my Indians but Tampa is my second team. Beat those fuggin chowds tonight. Looks like it's fuggin game over for the Rays  3-1 in the 9th! Man i fuggin hate those Red SUX!!!! Yeah Florida would have been a better location lol but the flight costs are pretty much the same for me regardless of the state, like i said i'll try, would be awesome too meet up |

You mean the guys who gave me the Hometown Heart Attack yesterday....uuuuggggghhhhhhh....At least the workhorse is pitching tomorrow and he's starting look like Verlander again. I think he was holding back this season he wants that world series ring and didn't want to go full bore in the regular season and burnout in the playoffs. |

I believe O'hare is the closest airport to the event. Chicago Midway is south of the city.

You'll have too let me know details for the hotel/motel and tickets for the con. I booked at the Chicago South Loop Hotel for $103 a night. It's a half a mile away from the convention in downtown Chicago. I just looked up prices again and the price for the hotel increased to $139 a night...that sucks. There are a few other hotel options. You want to get a hotel close to McCormick Place. McCormick Place is where the Con will be held. Con tickets aren't up for sale yet. The website says they go on sale in the Fall. I'm guessing they be up for sale in a few weeks. Probably before Thanksgiving. |

I believe Aaron is planning on hanging with us the same time frame. The only day you really NEED to be there is Saturday, the day we'll meet up at C2E2. I'm going to set a time during Saturday afternoon where we all get together and take a picture as a group. Cubs game on Thursday is being planned. I know for sure that me and Aaron will be there in time to make the game. I think Jimbo said he'll be there on time as well. We still have a lot of plannng to do for Friday, Saturday night and Sunday. |

UPDATE: Here is a really cool update for you. There will be a group photo of all attendess from GPKUG at C2E2 like in past years. However, this year we'll have a bit of a twist to it. We are going to take that group photo and turn it into a GPK class photo like what was done in Giant Series 2   This will be painted by Mark Pingatore and will be 11" X 14" in size. Everyone in the painting will have the opportunity to purchase a signed limited edition print directly from Mark. It will be limited to the amount of people in the painting. Cool bonus potential, I talked to Stephen Dumas over at Topps about getting this painting included in an upcoming series as a card back. He said that he can't commit to do it but he'll keep it on the radar. What this means to me is that he can't say yes until he sees the painting. I'd say the same thing. The content and quality need to be up to par, which I'm positive Mark can nail. Also, he said that even if he is unable to use it in a set he'll post it up on the company facebook page. Details on when the photo will take place, print pricing and any requirements to participate will be posted before the show. |

3-Day tickets go on sale on Halloween. Single day tickets will be on-sale shortly after that. Saturday is going to be $35 for presale tickets. I'll post up something when they go on sale.
Due to the popularity of these comic con events and the size of Chicago we really need to buy them fast. You don't want to miss your opportunity.

I got the 3day was going to try to get a press pass but I haven't updated my credentials in a few years and they'd probably get rejected anyway since they are being really strict as to what is acceptable this year.
