    I'll definitely be there. I'd recommend that any of you ATX BenBo crew attend this as well. Also, I know a few of these guys, and my roomie did an ad in their pamphlet. Also, they'll kill me if I don't tell y'all this. Please, don't let me die!

    If they will kill you if you don't tell us...then I think you're safe. You told us...so we'll be there.


    Actually...I would highly suggest EVERYONE that can go to this go. It's truely an amazing experience. I've been to both of the previous years...and have not had more fun. I've met some truely talented people that I never would have known about previously had I not gone. I've also gotten to see many friends. I also like the fact that you can actually talk to the exhibitors at the con instead of having to worry about the whole hustle and bustle of your large comic convention.

    I love this convention so much last year (and this year again) I'm driving out of Austin to another city JUST to pick up a car-less friend, and drive back so that he can attend.

    I was going to try and get a table this year for said friend that I will be driving to Houston to pick up...but sadly due to work and all sorts of other issues...I wasn't able to meet the deadline. But that's OK. We're both gonna be there and having a blast.

    So again...For you NON-Austin people...hell for you NON-Texas people...Mark your calenders and get your ass over here on March 3, 2007. You will not regret it, I promise.

    Look at this...I don't even work for these people...You see all that text above? I don't normally write that much in my posts. Yeah...that's how good the show is. So be there.

    I'm excited to go to Staple for the first time. I feel more at home at small press cons.

    I'd love to go but I don't think finances will allow it. Maybe next year.

    Taki, you need to show up in my town so we can have a climactic ninja showdown.

    She's soft-spoken, so she can probably kill you with her thumb.

    well, I've not missed the Dallas WW in the last 3 years, I know it's not exactly Austin, but you should at least make that trek for the showdown... I mean seriosly... the distance you cover is nothing compared to the distance I'm covering to get there.
