If you are new to us, or have never been to a “comicon” before, we welcome you. We present the chance for fans like yourself to meet with your favorite actors and get their autograph (and have your photo taken with them!). We bring out the top comic book writers and artists in the industry, feature many genres from pop culture and present a full weekend of events and activities for you and your family. This weekend is the culmination of efforts by over five hundred volunteers over the past twelve months all with a singular vision of putting on the most fun convention you’ll attend. Festivities kick off Thursday afternoon and continue throughout the weekend. Spend the day checking out the exhibitor hall, meeting actors and writers, buying that hard to find geek item, then attend concerts and dances that last till 2 AM on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. For those who are visiting, even if you are indoors all day, please drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. As you can imagine, we’re stoked for this weekend and can’t wait to show you why the valley of the sun is the most fun place to be this Memorial Day Weekend.
