I wish I could go to them, but I'm in Korea and I don't have enough money for airplane tickets.
D:
But I wish the best of luck for everybody else!

Youmacon's link, the one I'm closest to is down. Dead link or just temporary?
Just a heads up

08.17.2009 - 16:31 | GLKnight - Okay
1) GMX looks like it's trying to set itself up as the next Wizard World Con or Comicon or Dragon-Con.
2) Infinite Bits is Gamer-related. Are you sure you want to go to that one? I mean, it's in Miami and all, but there's nothing related that you do in connection to this convention.
3) Can't get to Youmacon's website. Code 403: Forbidden.

Aw, the closest one to me is Youmacon and even that is too far. Oh well, I do hope you have fun!

I may have to brave the scary city which is Detroit to go to Youmacon now! xD
A word of advice: Beware fangirls, they may want to glomp you.

You've got to be effing kidding me
. I used to live in Detroit Michigan and now that I am not there you are going to do a convention there! AHHHHH.Hmm... I haven't visited home in 3 years... perhaps a trip is warranted... you know... because of family... and stuff
.In all seriousness though if I can arrange a trip in October I will make an effort to stop by the convention and say hello. I think it's awesome that you're taking the time to hit all 3 of those to give your fans a chance to meet you.

Oh, if only I could attend. But, what with financial woes and the whole distance thing, it probably won't come to pass.
Ah, well. Sorry to hear about your voice, my friend. But I'm glad you've recovered. All the best from this side of Canada.

I live in the Ohio portion. I could easily drive to two of those conventions.
Dang it, I love to drive.
Now all I need is the money to go...

When are you going to brave California and make it out to Comic-Con?

-
08.17.2009 - 17:09 | rosenhacker - PLEASE go to the San Diego Comiccon next year!
I'm sure that thousands of fans would be there.
Maybe u could set up a booth, get the other guys together, make a video off of that

Youmacon is the only one closest to me, but I doubt I'll be able to go. If I had the means and the money I would seriously make the effort to go. I wish I could go see Doug in person, but I'm pleased to see that this site is gaining more attention nonetheless.
Have you guys considered anything in Toronto for us fans north of the border?
-
08.17.2009 - 17:18 | HarveyTwoFace999 - One more suggestion
How about the Boston Megafest? Sure, it's in November, and it's in Boston, but it's a convention nonetheless. A convention that, while epic as it is, could definitely benefit from the presence of a certain That Guy With The Glasses.

Well, hey, I guess this means you've made the bigtime, man! Congratulations!

Man, looks like our favorite Critic is gonna be one busy body in October! Anyways, rest up that golden voice of yours (hey, if it's the second time your voice has gone out, that's devotion to your work
) and hope you have a good time at those conventions which I sadly cannot attend (what, with being a poor Canadian student in the fall).

I wikipedia'd youmacon since the site's down and it turns out it's an anime convention I have no idea what doug has to do with anime but whatever I wish I could go to one of the cons, o well

Aw, nuts, I don't live near any of those places.
You gotta go to Otakon next year! Yeah, it's an anime convention, so I doubt you'd be at a panel, or anything like that, but at least go as an observer!
-
08.17.2009 - 17:44 | TheLittleOne
I know you're not big on anime, but I hope you can come to MTAC next year. It's the largest anime gathering in Tennessee and I'd totally wanna see ytou!

08.17.2009 - 17:51 | Blitzkrieg1701
Dang it, I'm already going to more conventions this year than I can actually afford. WHY MUST YOU TAUNT ME WITH THIS AWESOMENESS THAT I CAN'T POSSIBLY GO SEE?!?!?!?!?
