I have the time off work, but have done no booking of hotels or anything like that yet... Would be nice to be able to stay in a hotel... but for me that would be impractical. Takes about an hour on the bus from NJ. Problem is that I have to carry the costume and get dressed somewhere there. Good thing they have a coat check. $3. and I can check in the bag with my street clothes and not have to carry it around. So you got your ticket Gil?

They aren't doing free fan tables this year, or so I've heard.
I'd like to look into it for next year though.

Yesss... even if it costs a little I'd still like to do it. We need more exposure

My son downloaded the app... he's going with his girlfriend. I don't have a smart phone. But... I DID get my badge in the mail!! I didn't request to have it shipped but it came anyway. I was expecting to have to wait in line at will call for it. I'm psyched!

ARGH! Feeling so frustrated that I want to be there!
Next year - warning! I will be there and we WILL have a fan table! (unless our social security totally gets screwed around)

Should we prepare for Hurriacne Carol to come through NYC at NYCC 2013? It would be great to have you here. Get your hotel ASAP after NYCC 2013 is announced because the ones close to the Javits Center fill up as fast as D*C hotels do. There's a nice hotel right down the street from the convention center that I've been in, or actually on its roof.

Let me know when they do. What's the best and/or closest ones? I have never been to NYC so I have no idea... Hurricane Carol will be more like Little Lost Carol... small town girl in the big city
...although I did live in Detroit 'burbs for 10 years and Toledo a few years before that (not that Toledo is big by any means)

I never stayed at a hotel in NYC.... I'm so close that its not practical. I do go in to the city about once a month at most so I know my way around pretty good. Be nice to stay at a hotel if I were going for all the days though.
I hope it doesn't rain for Comic con.... I have to walk from port authority... not far, but still....

Maybe next year you can room with me> LOL. Depends on if the family comes too. Karm might, although he says he never wants to go to New Yorkm the lure of a Con may tempt him

I was just reading their weapons policy and it says no metal prop weapons. www.newyorkcomiccon.com/About-NYCC/NYCC-Fan-FAQs/Included in the forbidden list: Hard prop weapons (including props made of metal, fiberglass and glass)
Prop weapons will be allowed providing they are composed of cardboard, foam, wood or other light materials. I wonder if I'll have a problem with my lightsaber. I hope not. Maybe I'll bring a plastic one just in case but that would just look stupid.
