The Guide to Pop Conventions
A Robert Davi Roundup
Hey Conmaniacs, hope the vacation treated you all well and were full of con goodness. Conmania HQ was rained out, but we still managed to capture the top con news coming off the wires for you.
- Creation Entertainment’s Official Vancouver Stargate SG-1/Atlantis Convention has updated their page with tentative show schedules and guest appearances. Including Robert Davi. He was in “Goonies.” Make sure you do the Truffle Shuffle for him.
- C2E2 in Chicago released their exhibit hall floor plan. It is still tentative and subject to change, but you have a month to figure out how to most efficiently spend your show floor time.
- Derby City Con in Kentucky announced a new guest, Aracana Comics writer John Barker.
- Horror Realm Con in Pittsburgh announced their show schedule.
- Sandiego.com wrote a really snotty article about how tough it is to get Comic Con International tickets. True, but they wrote it in a really insulting way. I’m not advocating anything nasty, but if you want to leave some feedback, be my guest.
That’s it for today. Check in tomorrow for the latest batch of con news.

I told you it was going to happen! The first episode of Conmania 101! The first episode is about convention survival kits — specifically, what you’re going to carry all of your stuff in. Obviously this is very early, so if you can leave whatever comments you can, I will be very grateful.

Art Adams is awesome. No one can draw a giant lizard, gorilla, or buxom lass quite like him. Draws a pretty nifty looking Wolverine as well, as you can see by the sketch on the left. What would you say to owning your very own personal Art Adams art? Impossible, you say? Nay! Not if

It seems like I’ve been leading with a lot of Star Trek actor guest appearances in the news lately. The big ones all seem to be coming out in force lately. Speaking of which, happy 80th birthday to William Shatner today. But if Captain Kirk wants to hang out with Mr. Sulu on June 10-12,

Sad news today as veteran actor Michael Gough, best known as Alfred Pennyworth from the Batman movies of the 80s and 90s, was reported dead today at the age of 94. If being Alfred isn’t enough for you, he also starred in a bunch of Hammer horror films, played some villains in “Dr. Who” and

Marvel Comics displayed some of the exclusive swag they’re going to be giving away at C2E2, including a new mixtape comic,

Every once in a while, writing up convention news, I see an event where I’m honestly disappointed that I can’t attend. Don’t get me wrong, if I had a chance, I’d go to every con. But I’ve met Stan Lee a bunch of times, I’ve gotten drunk with Darwyn Cooke, Bruce Campbell has played with

If you just got back from PAX East this weekend, or went to Emerald City Comic Con last week, you might have had the chance to download The Conventionist app from Proxima Labs on your Apple or Android-powered mobile device. It just may be the greatest thing to come to a convention since Herbert “Boomer”

I know this isn’t strictly convention news, but the situation in Japan keeps looking worse and worse. Put the power of Conmania to good use, make a donation somewhere.

The “Dragnet” reference isn’t too obscure, is it? It’s a fairly quiet day of news, but here’s what we’ve got. Top Shelf Productions announced their plans for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival 2011. Want to see Jeff Lemire, Kathryn and Stuart Immonen, Matt Kindt and Nate Powell, in addition to being the first to get
