Wasn't planning on it, but a local LCS owner gave me a flyer. Have you been to this event before?

No but I know the LCS owner who runs it, and everyone says he does a great job. (Knowing him, I'm sure it's accurate.) Plus, Joe Sinnott is coming, so how can you go wrong? I plan to finally go this year.

Awesome. If you get some good finds, post a few pictures. I think I need to save up my budget for Rhode Island CC, just a few weeks after.

Dug up some more info on the show, and I think it will be worth going. Looks like it is only a $5 admission.  I didn't check the address on the flyer very well, for some reason i thought it was downtown and i would have to drive around looking for a parking spot.

Also, FYI Excellent Adventures (where i got the flyer) is doing a Halloween event on 10/28, all back issues 25%-50% off

Thx! John, the owner of Excellent Adventures, is the creator of the Albany con. See ya there!

It's always been on Wolf Rd.  Lots of parking spots.  It looks like the name of the hotel has changed.  I don't think there ever used to be a Radisson there.  I've been about 3 or 4 times.  I've had lunch with MrZipper most times.  Redhook joined us once, too.  I've met other boardies as well.

I don't remember a Radisson there either. If you were willing to drive in from VT 3-4 times to attend this, it must be worth it. Good luck finding what you want at the show!

@comicdonna  I have an off the wall question about VT... What's up with all the red asphalt? Is there a lot of red clay soil? You don't have to answer, just something that I've always been curious about.

I used to live near Albany.  It's 200 miles from northern Vermont.  I won't be attending this year.

I have no idea.  I haven't seen any here in northern Vermont.  Most of it here is fertile, brown clay.  More sandy in the Champlain valley.

Thanks for answering. I noticed it most when driving to Burlington. Went for the VT ComicCon this year.

BTW, My comment wasn't a knock on VT, I've been visiting for years and have even entertained the idea of moving to VT someday.

Anyone attending the June 3rd Albany Comic Con? I'd be down for a round of drinks at Hooters (just down the road).
