Just wanted to share this info for those that don't get a newsletter from the Pittsburgh Con.

Anyone with a Grievous statue, get it ready to be signed. He is coming to Pittsburgh. I met him at C3 and seemed to be a very nice person.

Hey all you Comicon Crazies,

The Countdown to Pittsburgh Comicon 2007 is beginning with just days to go, but don't think just because the con is just around the corner that we are resting on our laurels. Oh-no, we still have plenty to announce. Just earlier today we added twenty new guests to the guest list, including:

? Current X-Factor artist, KHOI PHAM

and from STAR WARS:REVENGE OF THE SITH

With the addition of General Grievous, we've scheduled a Q & A involving all our Star Wars Guests, including Peter (Chewbacca) Mayhew and Wayne (Gov. Tarkin) Pygram. All the new events are as follows:

? FRIDAY 3:00 - STAR WARS' GUESTS Q & A

? FRIDAY 6:00 - GHOST HUNTING Take a look at paranormal phenomenon with GHOST HUNTER-Steve Gonsalves and from One Night at Prospect Place, Dan Gorman and Joe Dutt

? SATURDAY 12:00 - SPECIAL SCREENING: ONE NIGHT AT PROSPECT PLACE, a documentary about one of the U.S.'s most haunted mansions with director Dan Gorman

? SATURDAY 2:00 - CREATING COMICS WITH DAVE CAMPITI, super-agent Dave Campiti wants to help you make it in comics.

If you will be attending the Pittsburgh Comicon for the NE Fanforce Awards Banquet:

Friday, April 27, 2007

FanForce Pittsburgh will be hosting a Friday night social for any FanForce members and their guests.

It will be held at the Radisson Hotel, which adjoins the Expomart where the Comicon is held, and will be in the Monroe 3 room. This room is one of the ones used for Star Wars panels.

Very casual. Snacks and beverages will be provided, and we'll be screening the very funny, professionally produced fanfilm, A Great Disturbance, tentatively to be given a personal introduction by the film's creators.

If you plan to attend, please pm me, TRADMIC so I can get an idea on how many people to expect.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!
