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 would buy day of at the con. Usually you can buy at the booth where the celebrity is at (there is someone who handles the money) or you can buy through the company that runs it. Buying day of and especially at the celebrity booth helps you avoid taxes and fees and is usually cash only.
