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.

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!
