Wizard World Chicago/Flashback Weekend

Next weekend is the Wizard World Chicago Con. Across the street, at the same time, is the Flashback Weekend horror con.

Some neat guests in the mix - William Shatner, Stan Lee, John Carpenter, etc.

If anyone decides there's any autograph they want/need from the show, let me know. I'll be bumming around there most of the weekend and could handle some requests if needed. Many, but not all of the guest prices are listed. Unfortunately, I cannot be 100% certain which items will be available to sign.

Just throwing it out there, as neither show seems to have a pre-order service.

My own perspective is that most prices aren't too bad since you get a chance to meet and talk to the celebrity, get them to sign anything you want on a flat table in a controlled environment, etc. When you compare it to the prices athletes are charging at signing events, it looks like a full blown bargain.

On the other hand, the Chicago show has just irked a lot of fans who are beginning to be more and more vocal about it on their facebook page. The number of cancellations is atrocious, and I was disappointed with the lineup to begin with.

Got reports today that the Bruce Campbell line was royally screwed up. VIPs were let in first, and even people who preordered autograph tickets online got shutout after waiting for SIX+ hours. In general, today was packed as expected.
