Just got back from a week of fishing - good luck out there, Mark!

Hope to see people at the panel on Sat!!!

Wish I could make it Mark. But chicago was not within budget this year. Possibly we could do a panel at Big Apple in fall. It is the new WWNY show.

And I cant wait to see the footage!

I'm pleased to announce that ComicsPriceGuide.com is also now sponsoring my presentation.

I hope everyone attending SDCC can join me for the fun. The CGC Forum Dinner is right afterwards so it will make for a good appetizer. (thumbs u

We have also made arrangements for professional videotaping of the program.

I wish I could be there. I know I would enjoy it very much - it's right up my alley. At least I'll be able to see the videotape.

Good luck tomorrow Mark.
