 WHERE ANIME MEETS HORROR

Farpoint Con is a great little convention based in Timonium, MD just north of Baltimore, February 12-14th, 2010.

I have been attending this show for 6 years now and really like how it is put together. This is a smaller convention, about 1000-1400 people each year, and due to that its a much more intimate atmosphere. Due to this, the guests tend to hang out at the hotel bar and socialize with us on a higher frequency.

This year they have a great lineup! I know some people wonder about the price to get in, but at this show that price includes several autographs witht he guests, where other shows you would be charged around $20+ for each. Be sure to get your membership soon as they have sold out in the past.

Guests:
Felicia Day (Dr Horribles Sing-along-blog, The Guild, Dollhouse)

Matt Frewer (Eureka, Watchmen, Max Headroom)

Mira Furlan (Lost, Babylon 5)

Lee Arenberg (Pirates of the Caribbean, all of the modern day Star Trek series)

Looks like we may have a new comic book show to attend. This one is held in Richmond, VA and it is the first 2 day comic show in Virginia in 25 years. They have a unique press model and some good ideas, like letting in military/students/kids for free.  I may be able to head down there on Sunday to check them out!
