I was eager to go to this until I saw the prices for signatures. The main guest- Willem Dafoe is a $60 advance autograph ticket! That price is only for his signature. If you want to buy a picture to get signed that's $5 more and no pictures with him unless you pay an additional fee. This does not include admission which you do get a break on if you meet their quota on buying autographs; $200 advance signatures gets you into the show free. Most of the other guests are $35 and up with additional fees to get a picture with. They say you can save $ by buying in advance and then they charge you a convenience fee for ordering ahead so there really is no savings. Does anyone else think this prices are high? I've stopped going to Creation shows because I thought they were charging too much but it looks like as long as people continue to pay for them the prices will continue to go up. It looks like you can't even take a picture of most performers after you shell out for a signature anymore. (I'm not saying with just of) Imagine the prices at Chiller. I fear I am already scared as Halloween approaches.

I'd actually considered going until I saw their prices on dealer space.

Between that, hotels, 1800 mile round trip, meals in NYC, and dealing with the Unions to set up I decided that a small dealer can't make any money at this show.

Shatner and Nimoy have both been in the $100 club already. Not sure who else can command such a price.

Some of the guests from Celebrity Authentics Wizard pulled. Scott Speedman is one of them. I spoke to Celebrity Authentics this morning and they were totally left in the dark. I've got to say that Wizard so sucks.....

Anyone going this weekend?

I am! But you probably knew that already. I'll be there Saturday. NSU editor-in-chief Alan Biegel is going too. Really looking forward to it.

I think we're going.....on Saturday.

I also think I am going Saturday with the BF.

Looks like I will be there too and setup. My friend has some space but limited so will probably just bring some card boxes and chase cards. Stop by and say hello.

I was considering it, but now that we are getting unseasonably nasty weather I think I'll probably wind up passing.

Awww com'on Raven, that's not the spirit. If I'm going to brave the elements all the way from down here, surely you can too from not so far away.

But yeah, I know what you mean. I've been complaining about this too ever since I saw the first reports of this crappy weather. Not looking forward to mucking around the city in duck weather.

It is cold, rain and blowing wind, my daughter says it is a Nor'easter. Damn, I may have to actually wear pants this weekend! I agree with Harris, suck it up, Raven, we will be there, so should you! I will be in bed early tomorrow!!

You guys are way more committed than I am.

I'm sitting at home right now just watching all the Yankee fans freezing in their seats. Except for the luxury boxes of course.

Hope the weatherman is exaggerating again. Enjoy the show guys.

We will miss you Raven, if the weather improves, come on over!
