What's All This About a Comic Convention in New York?
A convention... for comics? In New York?
Anybody know anything about this little get-together of a few comic book fans that's supposed to happen in New York at some point soon?
No? Me neither.
Luckily for you, there are a few people who are paying very close attention (bordering on obsessive, in some cases) to all of the New York Comic Con hub-bubbery. Sure, you can check the official NYCC website, but where's the fun in that?
If you really want to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous lists of events, Heidi MacDonald over at The Beat is compiling an impressive list of everything that's anything related to the New York Con. Not only will you be able to stay up-todate with all of the latest NYCC happenings, but you can also witness her descent into madness. Big convention chaos will do that to the best of 'em, I guess.
Once you get tired of watching Heidi's sanity slip-slide away, check out the YouTube profile of ItsJustsomeRandomGuy, the creator of those "Marvel vs. DC" videos that have managed to meme themselves around the comics scene in recent years. The popular online filmmaker was commissioned to do some NYCC-themed shorts for the show, and has his very own panel on Saturday. (Also, I think he stole my "Thorbuster Iron Man" action figure, as it disappeared a few months back... right about the time he posted NYCC Video #3.) I'm watching you, mister.
Finally, keep an eye here on ComicMix tomorrow for a comprehensive list of all the places you'll be able to find our news team, comics creators and assorted ComicMix roadies throughout the show.

I'll be there all weekend - the kid has Friday off (her school has these random "teacher administrative day" holidays wher the kids have off for no adequately explored reason), so we decided to make a weekend of it. Looking forward to scoring a bunch of new Norberts ( www.internationalnorbertconspiracy.com ) and catching up with a bunch of folks.
