How do you guys stop yourselves from turning into a total fanboy when you meet someone you really like

I dont. First time meeting Grant Morrison I could barely speak until Andrew spoke up for me. Same with Dan DiDio, though we were able to have a much longer conversation so I eventually loosened up. The second time talking to Dan was a lot easier and comfortable, like we never stopped talking.

I never freaked out when meeting someone in the comic industry, although I didn't know what to say and was at a loss for words when I met Steve Young.

By the way, I received something via email stating I get $10 off by purchasing a 4-day pass to NYCC. Let me know if I can save someone $10. The offer expires October 2nd.

I don't worry about turning into a total fanboy. I mean, that's the reason you're at a comic convention because YOU ARE A FANBOY. Just don't be an extreme fanboy by mentioning trivia stuff.

Usually when I meet a favorite artist/writer I have a comic book for them to sign and I open up with a simple "Hi, could you please sign my comic book?" From there, I compliment their work and tell them what my favorite piece of their work is. I thank for them for signing my books and request a photo with them. I shake their hand and say thank you one more time.

It's difficult sometimes. I have met Claudio Sanchez(Coheed and Cambria singer and The Amory Wars writer) 3 times and have not been able to say more than about 2 words to him.

12 Days til NYCC

Read This Or Be Locked Out Of NYCC

Alrighty folks, here is an important post, so put your listening caps on or your drinking shoes or you comprehension skinny jeans – whatever article of clothing that will make you best pay attention and understand this, please slip into that wardrobe now (for me it’s a cat blazer – a jacket made of live cats).

If any of you can recall, last year NYCC was what I like to call vibrant. Perhaps a bit too vibrant. I’m doing my best to put a positive spin on the fact that it was an insanely busy show. So to try and bring better order to this vibrancy, we are organizing every entrance to the Javits Center by what you are trying to do. So if you have your badge and want to queue up? There’s a door for that. Need to buy a badge? There’s a door for that. Just want to register a complaint that when I blog here its unintelligent blather? There’s no door for that, sorry, keep it to yourself, my ego is too fragile.

I’ve even included a map above for you to reference. Too small? Here’s a link to a larger version of the map. Learn it. Live it. Know it.

Read carefully: If you are not at the right door, you will not be let into the Javits Center. You’ll be rebuffed. Sent back. Held back a grade in school. Be given a do over. Told to attend a remedial con entering class. So save yourself the minor yet very real public scolding and follow these instructions:

Did you get your ticket/badge in the mail or from a retailer? Use the green entrances; these are on the lower level off of 37th or 38th street. For Friday though, remember there is no indoor queuing, everyone will be lined up outside, so please dress accordingly. For Saturday and Sunday if you have your badge already, this is where you will enter to access to queue hall (Hall 1C) to wait for the show to open)

Want to purchase a ticket? Use the blue entrances; these are upstairs off of 35th street. Make sure and check the web site first though as we are selling out of tickets!

Are you a professional or VIP? Use the blue entrances; these are upstairs off of 35th street. Pros will either go down to their registration on the south concourse to pick up tickets or they will go down towards 1E hall and then be directed to 1A hall to Queue. VIP's will be directed down to the VIP lounge in 1E hall.

Have you purchased a ticket online need to pick it up? Use the yellow entrances; these are on the lower level off of 37th and 38th street. For Friday though, remember there is no indoor queuing, everyone will be lined up outside, so please dress accordingly.

Super important thing #1 – Remember to only use these entrances. In fact, better yet, use the streets that lead to these entrances before you even get to 11th Ave.

Super important thing #2 – There will be no indoor queuing on Friday so please dress for the weather.

Thank you for listening so intently to this NYCC Public Service announcement, you can now go back to your regular routines.

Methinks I'll need to print up that map to keep track of where I'm supposed to be.
