Hey guys, Just wanted to make mention of the upcoming big Niagara Falls Comic Con on June 6th, 7th and 8th. The celebrity guest list is pretty damn impressive so far, in my opinion. They just announced Peter Mayhew who played Chewbacca in Star Wars. I already met him a few years ago at Fan Expo in Toronto, but I just may get an autograph for my girlfriend, as she's a big Star Wars fan. Just wanted to know who's all planning on making the trip. I know me and a buddy are planning on going up for the Friday and most of the guests are going to be there all 3 days, except William Shatner who is Sunday only. For those that are going, who are you wanting to meet the most?? For me, it's The Killer Bees. I've never met either "Jumping" Jim Brunzell or B. Brian Blair before. They were always one of my favorite tag-teams growing up, so I'm really looking forward to meeting them. I'm still keeping my eyes peeled on eBay for a singles Jim Brunzell WWF LJN poster as well as The Killer Bees tag-team WWF LJN poster and MOC B. Brian Blair figure. I've got Blair's singles LJN poster and MOC Jim Brunzell. A few days ago, I had also won a Killer Bees mask on eBay for $40. I think it looks pretty sweet and I'll definitely be bringing that with me to get signed as well. I'd also like to meet Ric Flair again, as I've got a few more items to get signed. For all the info on this great event, check out their web-site here: niagarafallscomiccon.com/

I want to go, but I want to volunteer for it more as volunteers get to be around the celebrities more (especially with my job at the Hammer Town Comic Con). Also if they're adding more Star Wars guests I'd love it if Ray Park appeared.

I can't wait for theirs convention. The lineup so far looks awesome. I'm looking most forward to meeting shatner, the killer bees and ric flair again. Lots of great celebs attending, especially if you are a sci fi or horror fan which I am. Also can't wait to meet Gus from breaking bad. I may even grab a hotel for the weekend as flair and shatner are there on separate days and I don't want to make the drive twice. Only downside is that this convention is going to cost me a fortune. Lol.

Burt young added!!! This convention lineup just gets better and better. I saw that earlier on today. He's a huge name for sure. Also announced Tracey Gold from Growing Pains, Erika Eleniak from Baywatch and just announced Chandler Riggs from The Walking Dead. The line-up for this event is pretty damn good. Almost on par with Fan Expo. I'd really like to see a few more wrestling names get added like Jesse Ventura, Honky Tonk Man, The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (being Canadian an all), "Leaping" Lanny Poffo, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and maybe Bobby "The Brain" Heenan depending on his health.

This convention is going to be epic. I've never met Riggs so that should be pretty cool. Also last year poffo wasn't advertised but he showed up on the Saturday. Jesse Ventura would be awesome! I think they will likely add a few more wrestling names!

Just wanted to post a quick update on this event. For those attending, I just wanted to make mention that both Luke Perry and R.A. Mihailoff have had to postpone their appearance. They will NOT be attending this event.
I have not heard if they plan on replacing them with anyone or what, but that's 2 guests down. I would hate to be a fan who bought tickets in advance JUST to meet either one because they are now out of luck due to their cancellation.
I hope they can find some sort of replacement between now and then.

Just a quick update here. Peter Mayhew who played Chewbacca has had to postpone his appearance as well. This is now 3 celebs down. They've got to find and announce some sort of replacements now. I hope nobody else cancels out.

Quick note here, they have added Anthony Forrest who played the "Jedi Mind-Tricked " Sandtrooper to appear all 3 days. I suppose that's better than nothing, but considering the talent that has had to cancel, that doesn't quite make it fair just yet. I hope they add another name or two.

Autograph and photo op prices have been released. Shatner and flair are the most expensive. No surprise. This convention is going to put a major hole in my wallet.

I didn't think Flair would be charging $50, but I pretty much knew Shatner would be expensive. Man, $85 friggin' bucks for his autograph?! Come on. That's ridiculous and yet people will STILL line up and shell it out. There's only a few celebs I'm interested in meeting that weekend, so thankfully it won't cost too much. Or should I say won't cost as much as others are willing to shell out that weekend? Hopefully, I will meet Ric Flair, Demolition (maybe), Killer Bees for sure, Ernie Hudson, Burt Young and Bob Dermer. That's about the extent of the celebs I would like to meet.

^^^ there a re a few guests I'll be meeting. My priority is flair, killer bees, Burt young, tyler mane, and there are some I'm still undecided on. I actually want three items signed by flair but at 50 bucks a pop that's a lot of money. Whoooooooo!

I got VIP - yeah. I went all out. I have a hotel for 3 nights as well. I normally go down south in the states but this will be my vacation this year. I know a few people there and can't wait to for it to be here.
Copacabana will be a dinner spot for me at some point. So good!
