9/9/16-9/11/16; Wizard World; Richmond

Jon-Ari_Kenobi (John Dittmyre)

Wizard World is coming back to Richmond this time in September (they seem to alternate each year between Sept and July), This is an EARLY WARNING thread in attempts to not surprise anyone!

And yes for the few of us who are DragonCon attendees this is LITERALLY the next weekend after DragonCon, hence the early warning, in case all you need to do is save up some extra money...

The Link to the site that shows the info, ticket prices etc. is here:

http://www.wizardworld.com/comiccon/richmond

We should hear about the fan table and such a little closer to it, just need to give Joel the time needed to make those contacts an such.

For those interested in hotel info here are the closest options to the Convention Center:

Richmond Marriott (right next door with a connecting bridge from their parking garage):

https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/ricdt-richmond-marriott/

Rate (at present): $138/night

Richmond Hilton (Right across Broad St. from the Convention Center & the Marriott):

http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/virginia/hilton-richmond-downtown-RICRDHH/index.html

Rate (at Present): $239/night

Quality Inn & Suites (Down Broad Street, but only a few minutes from Convention Center):

https://www.choicehotels.com/virginia/richmond/quality-inn-hotels/va258

Rate (at present): $67/night

There are other Properties scattered throughout Richmond and the suburbs the further from central downtown you get the cheaper on average they get, so if you want to come and need a hotel and don't mind a short drive, then I'd recommend doing that and pick your brand preference.

More details to come so stay tuned and either Joel will get the details up as he gets them or he'll relay them to me!

I should be there and will pull double duty. one day 501st, one day RL. Joel does a fantastic job with our table displays at these type of events so if we have a table, I'm sure he'll do us proud.

I will be there on Saturday and Sunday with the backdrop and table as last year.
We are trying to get the same deal as we did last time with regards to the passes.
They will most likely be limited to 2 on Friday 4 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday and 4 Weekend passes
For any of the passes there will be a minimum of 3 hours on a day to be at the table which can be broken up, obviously.

I'm doing 501st on Sat but can help out most of the day on Sunday if you need me. I need to be back in Hampton Roads by 1800, so I'll need to leave the con around 1600.
