I'm taking my wife, 6 yr old son and 3 yr old daughter on the Sunday - busy or not, fun way to get them out of the house and see some people nerdier than their Dad.

I'll be sporting a Greyjoy kraken 'we do not sow' shirt - say hello if you see me.

Just as a comparison, the Home + Garden show in February ran from Thursday to Sunday and had 61,000 people attend. Same amount of halls used as the Comic Expo.

This show has become huge in such a short time!

Getting pretty excited after reading a bunch more online today. I think I'll go right when it opens Friday afternoon to scope it out, then head back with the family Sun morning.

, I'll definitely stop by your booth with the key phrase. Love picking up some graphic novels every year.

The size of this year's event is somewhat of a turn off for me, I have no interest in lines or hordes of people.

I have to go out of town on Friday and Saturday, but I may go to the expo on Sunday--we'll see how peopled out I am.

The organizers of the event tweeted about a week <?> ago that they were still looking for volunteers. So if you missed out on tickets to the TNG thing, you might have luck that way . . .

I saw those tweets too, however as people contacted them it appeared that volunteers for the TNG event were already filled up.

I badly want to go see Stan Lee at the Palliser but $200 for an hour? That's bogus.

He's not lying. I had to shout "10 more years, 10 more years" last year. I got the discount though. And some sweet comics.

I chose to look at it this way.

First, shouting something at the comic expo won't make you the weirdest person there, not by a long shot. Hell, you could shout "great save Tanev" in Klingon (something I suspect you may be able to do) and the most you'd get is a witty response from some fellow nerd who also speaks Klingon.

Second, there is enough stuff going on I don't think anyone even noticed. They probably thought I was doing some sort of battle cry from Viking Quest.

For anybody that's interested, the Back to the Future DeLorean is sitting outside of the Palliser Hotel at the moment.
