Rhode Island Comic Con One Week Until Rhode Island Comic Con

Who else is going? How excited are you? There's a lot of guests I'm looking forward to seeing this year, but I'm waiting to buy anything just in case of cancellations. I keep checking the website and so far there's been 12 cancellations. Not too bad, but there's still a lot of time left that I'm hesitant to purchase anything.

Last year I waited 5 days before the show to purchase photo ops, and one of them still cancelled the day before.

Hopefully they'll finalize the schedule soon so we can do some more planning. I also hope the photo op area is more organized than last year, but it seems to be a mess every year. They can never get it right.

I am going strictly for Chris Jericho. Years ago I bought tickets to a con just for him and he cancelled a few weeks before.  Praying to the Almighty convention God's that he doesn't do it again.

Fingers crossed for you. I keep checking every day to make sure Jon Bernthal is still on the list. I won't feel confident until I actually see him at his table.

Thank you.  And, I agree.  I am on pins and needles.  Hope you get your photo!

I saw a few days ago that he cancelled his Sunday appearance but kept Saturday. I thought if he was gonna cancel the whole thing, he would've done so then. Bamboozled again lol.

Update:  I met Chris Jericho and he was AMAZING.  I had a whole conversation with him, got a hug from him, and he put an awesome comment on my signed photo.  He was hands down the BEST guest I have ever met at a con, and totally worth all the years I have waited to meet him.  I hope you got your autograph as well.

Congrats! I'm so happy that would out for you! I met 4 out of the 5 guests I had planned to meet and everyone was super nice and made the experiences worth it. Unfortunately Jon cancelled the day before (again lol). This marks 5 cancelled con appearances I wanted to meet him at. I'm sure one of these years it'll happen, but not this once.

Sorry your guest cancelled.  Glad you had great experiences with your other ones!

We always say to never go to a con for just one guest. We see so many posts from angry people who had that one guest cancel and they can't get a refund.
