Damn. Maybe I should cancel my Philly appearance so I can make Charlotte...

That wouldn't be smart. More competition in Charlotte. Stay in Philly and make bank off that sweet Wolverine print you have.

Yeah, that's actually the plan. I'm an evil genius that way. I mean, who would you rather spend your money on, signatures from the wrestler du joir, or custom sketches from an unknown artist?

its my plan to do both those things.

Well unknown or not that Wolverine print is money. If I didn't hate Hugh Jackman I'd be getting one.

The t-shirts are ready! See the pic on the right.

For those of you who got your order in, these are free of charge from me to you.

We just need to connect on Friday so I can give you your shirt.

Apparently, I'm so pissed at Wizard customer service that I can no longer tell my right from my left. See the pic on the LEFT.

Remember we are planning on wearing these on Sunday, the day we will be doing the mock funeral. We will be doing the Funeral on Sunday before they open the doors so the people in line can see it.

My vision is for us to go to the front of the line and an area where we can't be told it is a fire hazard or bullshit like that. Set up the tombstone and say our last goodbyes. A number of us have wrote eulogies and we will be video taping it (right SFM?). I will have one of my buddies there also to take some pictures. Do you guys think we should do this like 30 minutes before the doors open or an hour before? What time do you think would be the best to get the best effect?

I'll be taking a crap load of pics as well.

i thnk 30 min cuz i dont even know how much time they will let us have before the go all SS on us.

I got no response from Spat about the final line-up for WWP. This is the "latest" news about the con.

My opinion, this needs to be a well-oiled machine. We should have one person serve as the emcee to introduce the speakers. How many people are giving eulogies? We need to keep each speaker brief. We should have a few of us running cameras so we can post video and pics of this on YouTube, Facebook, this Web site, etc.

I'm going to work my ass off to promote this to bloggers, media, etc. on Friday and Saturday, so we need to determine an exact location to encourage them to come.

Also, it needs to be brief. Maybe a better idea is to pick a location close to the line (right in front of the convention center?), and do our best to draw people to that location, as opposed to doing this right in front of the line. That's blatantly ballsy, and my piss off Spaz, who will send the SS over to put a stop to it or throw us out, even though we are doing something out of respect, not of protest. So 30 minutes prior to opening should work.

Reactions?

I agree with jake

Ok so what we have.

1. We are doing this 30 minutes before the con opens on Sunday.
2. Everyone who got a shirt, wear it on Sunday. If you didn't get a shirt please wear something BLACK!
3. We have stickers and arm bands for you guys!!
4. Jake, SFM, and I will get together on Friday either before the con, during the con, or after the con and do a little recon and figure the best place to do it.
5. Have fun at the show, pass out some stickers, tell everyone what we are about, pass out some NerdGasm fliers.
6. Say goodbye to a con that has treated us all fairly well.

Sound good?

ARGH!!!!! At one point in time, the seating arrangements in Philly had me seated next to Garth Ennis. Now, it looks like he's been moved over to an Exhibitor Booth, and I'm back in the realm of the unknown nobody's. DAMN THE LUCK!!!!

FUCK!!!! Wait what is your table number now!!!

88b, which is what I think it was all along. But Garth has been moved.

well yeah I even told you that in the old WUMB thread silly goose. now your sharing your table with some noob that is all.

It was more exciting when I was sitting to Garth.

you might convince another artist to come out and play with us.

I'm down with the plan because Punisher, YOU ARE THE MAN!

I nominate Punisher to be the emcee of the Funeral.

How many eulogies do we have and who's giving them? I'll give one if we don't have enough.

This is my first WWP so I have no business giving a eulogy. I will be taking as many pics as I can. During the con I'll be doing my part to pass out fliers and spreading the word.

i dont know if i will give one or not i need to find time to write one. but yea just give me a call or we will talk on xbox about it.

Screw it. I upgraded to a full table.

Nice work sir you should put a poster of the logo up that would be awesome

I'll have a printout of it displayed on my table.
