While I'd immediately love to just run off to this show, there are several things on the website that give me red flags. 1 being that they have 6 guests (but may be adding more) and the site states "not all guests will be available for autographs." The website goes on to mention they have tacked on some fees to each guest's autograph price to "keep the door prices low." Since there are currently no events listed beyond a diner and breakfast that you have to pay for separately (and in addition to your entrance to the con), I'm not sure what you actually DO all day at this show. Someone please clue me in?
