So this weekend brings one of my favorite cons of the year STAR WARS FAN DAYS!!! Produced by those wonderful folks of the Dallas Comic Con. This will be the second convention housed at the newly consecrated Irving Convention Center. For those of you who attended this summer's DCC, you already appreciate how much roomier our new fanDOME is.
With 3-4 floors of geektastic fun the ability to cater to fans out of town and local is off the hook. The down stairs is pretty much dedicated to merchant booths and artists tables, which makes me happy, because more space equals more artgasms. All of my favorite Texas artists will be in attendance. Terry Parr, and Halo Seraphim of ShoNuff studios, Jon Hughes, Jason Chalker, and Michael Champion. The aforementioned usually bring prints I can't live without. Nationals artists I'm excited to meet and bring home a lil something of theirs are Kerry Gammill, Greg Horn, Joe Linser, Tim Hodges,Alex Buechel and Joe Corroney. Hello paycheck- GOODBYE paycheck!
What makes this special to me personally, is that i will be covering this event for the G4 Network's ATTACK OF THE SHOW!!! Yeah that's right, this fangirl will be in costume interviewing media guests, artists and local patrons. So please join me in making our own Kessel run to this uber fantasmagical extravaganza that celebrates all things star wars, comics and most importantly FANS!
and a lil eye-candy teaser of what my costume will be for saturday.. 50+ geeker points to whomever gets it right!
