Is anyone else heading over NYCC?
Aaron Douglas is there on Friday for a panel but I won’t be able to make that (working sucks). Sadly I don’t see any other BSG guests attending this year. Has any one heard otherwise?
For now I am going on Sunday which is kids day and suspect I’ll be spending time hanging out with the TNMTs. If something changes and they add some BSG I might also head in on Saturday.
When is the event and do you have a link?
here it is:

Feb 6-8 at the Javits Center
Starbutt, Much thanks for the info.
And according to Mark Sheppards MySpace page - he will be there too, promoting a new XBox360 game that he was a part of.
I am planning on going up either Friday or Saturday, or quite possibly both.
And I was just on the website and it appears Joss Whedon is going to be there, as is Eve Myles and the director of Series 3 of Torchwood.
It just keeps getting better and better.
Hm…I want to go. Maybe get a mini gwc meetup going on?
im going with my girlfriend on sunday, if anybody wants to meet up id be game for it!
Well it looks like I am going Friday evening and Saturday.
Aaron is supposed to be there Friday night and early Saturday
Tahmoh Peniket is scheduled for a Dollhouse Panel
Mark Sheppard and his dad Morgan Sheppard will be signing at one of the booths
and Eve Miles will be there for a Torchwood Panel (and I am sure signing some where along the line.
I am know I am going to the Aaron panel (for Emmisary), the Eve Miles/TW Panel and hopefully the Dollhouse panel (although this one is questionable)
Hey, I am considering going for Saturday only, but I have never been to this Con before. Outside of the programing on the schedule and the dealers room, what else goes on? I see some of the guests are only listed on the schedule for one pannel, will they be doing Q and As and/or autographs? Also, why does the schedule only go until 7:00pm?
The only convention I have ever been to is I-Con, which is on a college campus on Long Island, which seems quite different then this.
Well I have never been to this con either…so I don’t know how much help I will be but I am thinking this is not like ICon (or most other fan run conventions). this one seems more commercial, like Comic Con in San Diego.
I know Aaron is signing at somepoint, but it is not listed anywhere. Many of the signings happen at the various booths as far as I can tell and not in one general area. They still seem to have an autograph area, but not all of the guests are listed as signing.
I would say that 7 pm is when the booths all close up. This is more like a normal business convention then a scifi convention - at least that is my impression. It is more about showing off new merchandise then the guests that attend. Not that this is a bad thing, just different
I went last year. It’s like. On the ground floor is all the panel rooms. Then there’s a big area for companies showing off stuff above it then another room that’s people and not companies sellin stuff. <_< I got a bsg patch last year.
Also Raemani I’m going all day Friday, want to meet up at the Emmisary panel?
That could be arranged. I will be with at least one other bunny. CT coudln’t get out of work, so she may not make the panel.
I am planning to be in the city by 3 pm. I need to try and find Aaron and possibly Mark before the panel, but I will see how that goes.
Any one else from the NY Crue planning on attending?
Well, I am probably not going, but thanks for the info anyway.
I just found out that I will not be able to make it this year because of various things.
Whoever goes, please take pictures and notes, and I hope to see you all there next year.
Well I want to be there around 1:30 ish, go to the three marvel panels so that takes me to like 5:45 ish.
Emissary is at 7 right? Hm. Prolly troll the floor for stuff, meet up with Raemani and the bunnies then head home after Emissary for Bstar.
Sound good?
Oh wow. Guess it’s at 6. Troll floor for like a half hour than peace to get home for Bstar
Sounds good to me. Do you have my cell #(have we met even?) I don’t think so.
I am assuming you know what I look like?
I will be with 2 other bunnies.
I take it no one else is planning on attending?
I will be there but just on Sunday.
