It's a giant, pop culture convention that includes a ton of guests (including the great Ron Perlman and the equally great Patton Oswalt...as well as a former Doctor Who, Peter Davison).
Anyone going? I just purchased a saturday ticket. They're also having an open gaming event on that day.

I'm helping run the open gaming area all three days. Stop by, hepcat, I'm planning on wearing my kilt!

My daughter's birthday is that weekend, as attractive as hentzau's hairy legs might be.

I may actually pick up a Sunday badge now too. I doubt I'd make it down on Friday though. Braving even foot traffic on a friday night in chicago is enough to even make this old convention warhorse tremble in fear.

Hope to see some of you peeps there. I'm starting the Bataan Death March of cons today, with Little Wars this morning, then racing down to McCormick Place to run games in the boardgame room for 3 days straight.

and even though I started this damn thread, I may not be able to make it down now. I already bought my damn ticket, too. 
a friend of mine screwed up his schedule and is flying in for the weekend. as he's decidedly NOT a gamer or a fan of anything C2E2 would have, i may be stuck doing boring stuff all weekend.

Princess birthday weekend, but the pub crawl with the superhero cosplayers is *very* tempting. The idea of the Avengers walking into a bar is hysterical. I bet Iron Man doesn't have to buy any drinks.
