Crazy that they moved it up so early! Less of a wait but it’s Gonna be cold

Keeps moving earlier and earlier.  I remember when it was mid / late April.

Yep, last month was terrible.

I wouldn't be surprised if McCormack Place gave them a better deal for those earlier dates.

Maybe.  Nothing really advertised there during those dates. Maybe they are trying to undermine ECCC?  Or reed pop has some other stuff too close by?

ECCC is put on by the same promoter so it really doesn't make much sense to me. April was always a great time for this show, so I'm bummed that they are continuing to move into the colder months.

Guest list is looking solid so far for 2020, and it's only the 2nd day of announcements/

I moved further away from Chicago, so it won't be an easy day trip for me. I guess that just means I'll have to go Friday and Saturday this year.

I believe Tix go on sale today... the show really sneaks up on ya.

We just finished our last major convention for this year. 

Looking forward to our first of 2020

3 Months, 20 days to go 

[punksdropdirtysrh]

Less than 3 months away. 99% sure I’ll attend, but I’m very underwhelmed with the guest list. Hard to believe their new Celebrity Premium Package sold out with all the “basic” guests scheduled. Boooo.

Many great writers and artists attending however. Looking forward to having fun in artists alley and standing in line at the CGC booth .

[Goon]

Getting ready to buy my ticket but wondered if anyone knew what "Exclusive access to CGC pre-show sign ups" entails? It's under "The Collector" badge info, just wondered if it's worth it or not.

One of these years I’d love to head up for this show but the timing is always bad. If they continue their trend of moving the show earlier maybe one year it’ll fall between Christmas and New Year and I’ll be free to travel...

The reasons I enjoy going to this show each year as a fan is there are tons of great artist and creators there and I can always pick up something, I get to shop some of the dealers based primarily on the East Coast and see what kind of golden age stuff they got, and I love staying in Chinatown and gaining about 5 pounds from all the good food!!!

This came in the mail today!  Also booked my hotel...I got 3 days for $200 tax included on priceline.com! That’s the cheapest I ever got. Now all I have to do is book my train ticket and I am good to go!

[westerberg14]

Full panel schedule is out!  Since I’m only going on Saturday, I was hoping The Boys panel would be that day - but unfortunately it’s on Sunday along with Matt Smith. Guess that makes more time for looking at comics!

Awesome.  I am driving up from KC and was able to get my AirBnB hovel in Chinatown for about $170 from Thursday to Monday.  Plus my pro badge just got here and I am set.

Yeah I have done it several times.  Gives me sometime to really just tune out and get catch up on my podcast and listen to music.
