Going to New York Comic Con?

I’m going to be going to New York Comic Conwhile John from Dork Tower takes the opportunity to work on the Tao of Igor. All the pieces are coming together for a brand, new trade. We’ve got a killer introduction and are awaiting a bonus essay for the back of the book. There’s also some great stories that John has planned. (And no, I’m NOT going to spoil it for you… Though, you’ll be happy I didn’t…)

I’ll be tracking down publishers as well for the fiction side of DriveThru. I’m handling the publisher relations over at that site a few hours a week and am doing some consulting for the retail end of things.

From what the Exhibitor List looks like I’ll be running around a lot during the show. Just in the Comic Pavilion alone there are over 500 booths set up. I hope to run into Phil Reed from Steve Jackson Games, Tim Seeley from Hack/Slash, Anton Strout from Penguin and authorial fame, and George Vasilakos from Eden Studios. (I say “hope” because it’s going to be crazy busy, even with cell phones…) But we’ll see!

This’ll be my first time but it’s mostly a business trip for me. I’m going to keep writing, even during the show, but I’ll be wrapping up some fun drafts and a new project outline for TBA before we leave.

Going? What are you planning on doing?
