Man, I hate how they always schedule it the week a different event I'm attending takes place...

 

last year it was ACL, this year it's the F1 GP

 

[The Blot]

I believe it's because they have to pick a fall weekend when University of Texas football has an away weekend. Those other events also pick an off or away weekend of football.

Today and tomorrow are the last days to pick up discounted Two-Day Early Bird Tickets for $79. Regular priced two-day tickets & single-day tickets available starting Sept. 1st.

Is there anyone facilitating this show?

[JasonDaTwit]

I asked around but no one bit. Issue is that people need to make it something worthwhile for a facilitator to go to. Without that, you're out of luck.

 

I created a thread for it in another section but no one responded regarding attendance --

i hear you, was hoping to get something done with JOCK

[RJ70]

Have you (or anyone here) been to MondoCon before? I was told elsewhere that the artists usually don't sketch at this show and it's just for buying prints and autographs, trying to determine if that's true or not.

[RattyLa]

I have not but i guess i was thinking about getting a comic signed by him, not getting a sketch.

No Wrightson, wow and he lives in Austin

[RJ70]

No Wrightson, wow and he lives in Austin

 

He's at the Memphis Comic Con that weekend

[The Blot]

I was at Mondo Con last year and there was definitely a ton of sketching going on. Not everyone sketches, but I'd say most of the artists do. Lots of original paintings and art as well. The show is relatively small compared to the really big comic cons, but its a ton fun. There are panels all day and every one I attended was excllent. Can't beat this kind of access and interaction with artists from around the world.

[RJ70]

thanks for the info. debating between MondoCon and Alamo City the next weekend.

[JasonDaTwit]

Seems like Rich Henn will be going to MondoCon in October. Hit him up if you want a book CGCed --
