To Chicago! To C2E2 2011!

C2E2 ChicagoIt's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it.

This weekend is Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2)! And iFanboy is going to be there! Yes, even Josh!

As with any comic con, we'll be hunting down interviews and having fun all weekend, so you can look for a video show before too long. If you're at the show, please do not hesitate to say hi to us! But if you don't run into us on the floor or at our booth (located at POD01), we expect to see as much of the iFanbase as possible at any or all of the following panels:

FRIDAY – 4:30PM

Food and Comics

Speakers: C.B. Cebulski, Kevin Pang, Rick Bayless, Ron Richards

Description: Join CB Cebulski, Rick Bayless and Chicago Tribune's James Beard award-winning food writer Kevin Pang as they discuss the art of food and comics, moderated by Ron Richards of iFanboy and "A Taste of Comics". ROOM 470a

FRIDAY – 6:30PM

Comic Book Podcasting

Speakers: Christopher Neseman, John Siuntres, Peter Rios, Sean Whelan, Stevie D, Chris Marshall, Josh Flanagan

Description: Comic Book podcasts have become an important part of the comics culture landscape. Join several of today's top podcast hosts for a discussion on how and why podcasts are the new voice of the comics fan. ROOM 473

Hopefully we'll see you there this year!

  6. Can’t wait!  I’ll be there!

  7. So going to be there!

  8. I’ll be there!

  9. I will be there for my second year in a row!! I am very excite!!(Borat accent) I hope they have the bar like the comicon had last year that was awesome!! Thats the only thing that wizardworld has;sorry to say it sucks!! C2E2 ROCKS!! The only thing that it did not have last year was the bar and it really does not need it I had a BLAST!! This year is the big test for me if C2E2 lives up to expectations again this year and Wizardworld blows again for the third straight year I will no longer be attending theirs!! Plus C2E2 has the coolest looking tickets, very cool art work and different for each day!! I will be there Saturday for sure with all of my freinds and even some guys from the band; The Allegiance. (This would be a plug for my band) So we will hopefully see you there we are hoping to hand out some of our CD’s if they make it back from the press if not we will burn some……
    I can’t wait for Saturday it is supposed to be 61% and I am gonna spend some money and then come home and check out all of the goodies I will be buying!!!!
    GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A GREAT TIME TO ALL!!

  10. This is my first big convention!  I was wondering, are there lines to get to the convention or are there just ticket booths where people sign in and just walk right in?

  11. @Mooz
    Last year we all waited in a pretty large line to get in and they had a few people checking your passes and distributing everyone’s lanyards.  Once they started letting people in the line actually moved really fast.

  12. I bought mine at my comic book store so hopefully; I will not have to wait in long lines.

  13. Maybe I should clarify, we got there before the doors opened and already had out tickets so we had to wait in a long line to get our lanyards and get in.  If you haven’t gotten your tickets yet I have no idea how the lines were for that and if you show up after the doors have opened I don’t know that there was a line after that.

  14. @cubman987 I still haven’t gotten my tickets in the mail yet. Maybe it is better to come a few minutes after the doors open so it won’t be such a long line to get the tickets

  15. Will there be a listener meet up thing? If not, I’m suggesting one.

  16. I just realized I hadn’t commented here, but I’ll be there and am very excited to see the iFanboys and members of the iFanbase again.

  17. Waiting in line right now.

  18. Had a blast yesterday….I feel like there was way more people there this year, almost all of the panels I went to were standing room only, don’t remember any of them even being close to full last year, looking forward to going back next year!!!

  19. Awesome experience! It was very cool meeting the IFanboys! Already can’t wait for next year!!

  20. Great time, weird seeing you guys in real life.
