Panels:
Friday there is a Venture Bros. Panel at 8PM which Michael Sinterniklaas (2k3 Leonardo) may or may not be at. He attends every year but is usually unlisted.

Corey Feldman (Voice of Donatello in movies 1 and 3) is appearing Saturday morning at 10:45 in a panel previewing the third installment in the "Lost Boys" film series.

Tom Wayland (Jammerhead), Rachael Lillis (Tomo Ame) & Veronica Taylor (April O'neil) may all potentially be at the "Voice Actors: East Meets West" panel on Saturday from 12:45PM to 1:45PM. Though each of their attendance has been confirmed, whether or not they will be at this panel has not.

Jim Martin & Noel Macneal (Puppeteers from the third TMNT live-action film) are featured in a panel on Sunday the 11th from 2:45PM to 3:45PM called "Children's TV Legends".

Veronica Taylor (April O'neil 2K3) will be part of a panel that same Sunday called "Voice & Art- Veronica Taylor & Misako Rocks!" from 3PM to 4PM.
For those who are interested, Veronica Taylor will be signing in Autograph Alley..

Saturday – 11:00 – 12:00 – Table 5
Sunday – 12:00 – 1:00 – Table 5

NOTE: Being that Veronicas panel overlaps that of the puppeteers, Michele Ivey (AKA IveyAngelo) has suggested fans check out the "East Meets West" panel on Saturday as to perhaps catch her there rather then having to choose between the two.

Drome members attending:

Powder
Raph

Prints are always 10 bucks unless otherwise noted (I got a one of a kind from him for 25$), but his original pieces all vary in price. I paid $60 for an 8X11 (rough measurement) watercolored piece of Mike, but there were smaller pieces ranging from $20-$50 and the most expensive was $75 if my memory serves.

[Archon_Turtle]

Depending on how cold it is in the convention center, I'll probably be wearing one of my signature sleeveless convention shirts (since most people recognize me from afar by the turtle tats) or my green hoodie with the GoGreenMachine.org logo on the back.

[koenne]

Is there allot of Ninja Turtles stuff on comic con ?

I just got home from the con and saw both Dooney and Larsen, and yea Larsen is at the Image booth:D

[Venom]

Ask Larsen about the Image wrap up! We need news people!

[agliarept]

I think I even saw Stephan, but was too far away to say hi. I believe he had pants with art on them? was a blur at the con tho! hi eveyone!

[Raph]

Yeah was good to see you Agliarept, but I didnt know it was you after we said hi, hope to catch you on sunday..what aisle is your booth at?? I need to say hi and get my pic taken with you man!

[Archon_Turtle]

Dear god, just got back from con. SOOO Much to talk about...but not tonight, I am totally wrecked.

Steph

[gbhq]

i hope you will share with us the things that you bought, and saw at the show.

[John Pannozzi]

Ya know, my visit to NYCC was kinda crazy and not really fun (in fact, I only stayed around for about an hour before splitting) but it was cool to meet Michael Dooney. I also stumbled upon Bob Burden's booth by accident.

[IveyAngelo]

Hey all, just saying that I enjoyed the convention and it was great hanging out with everyone that got to meet up with me. I'm sorry I know I didn't see a handful of people from the forum while there, kept very busy... if not panels than doing interviews with fans/guests for Cowabunga Corner.

I did write up a review of the convention on TMNT-L, something I do for each event I go to. Photos will be posted there as well hopefully by this weekend.

Likes:
Toonseum Booth - loved getting to talk with Jim Martin and crew through the weekend, they were very nice and enjoyed getting to talk with the fans who came by. Their panel on Sunday was fun and we did get them to mention a little bit about working on TMNT 3.
Witch Hunter Booth - It's always great seeing Scott Williams, he enjoys meeting the fans and this time I got to take a handful of fans who never met him before over to the booth to show his work. He did an interview for Cowabunga Corner which will be posted early on in Season 2 of the blog.
Adult Swim Panels - Always funny, always big, and always a never miss event for me. Both Robot Chicken and Venture Brothers were great panels. Sadly we didn't get to hear anything about TMNT for Season 5 if there will be any or not, I do know Seth wants to use the NECA Turtles, was wondering if he got a chance... though I only had 2 people in front of me when they stopped taking questions... we'll just have to wait and see.
Lost Boys 3 Panel : A lot of fun, Corey was a blast and really funny. He had a ton of times to pick on Twlight which was really funny. Got me so interested in the 3rd Lost Boys Movie that I decided to pick up the DVD this week instead of waiting for it on Netflixs.
Hanging out with fellow fans: There was a lot of TMNT fans there, though a few of which hung out with me through out the weekend. Rutger, Powder, Ami (TMNT-L), Jephael, VoiceChaser (voicechaser.com) and Kazari. It was a real blast getting to talk and hang out with everyone, a lot of laughs and new memories. Thanks for making NYC Comic Con worth the trip!

[BubblyShell22]

Wow. Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. I wish I could go to a convention because they sound awesome. Maybe one day I will. Here's hoping.

[IveyAngelo]

Just save up a little a month in a side savings account, than within time you can afford a convention. Also to make it affordable try sharing travel and hotel costs with other people who want to go that you're friends with, either online or in person. This way you could really make a trip affordable.

That's the first step in going to a con. I really do recommend it for everyone, even if you just go once they're worth checking out. Next step is picking your convention, I usually choose mine by the guest. Though others pick by how many friends are going or which ones are closes to home. I go to a few cons close to home, like Halloween weekend I'm going to Youmacon which is a Detroit Convention... it's much more affordable for me because it's near where I live. I don't need to save up nearly as much as I did for NYC Comic Con.

Anyone can go to a convention... it just matters on how much you want to go.

[discordiatookie]

Looks like you all had a blast. (Except from you, John Pannozzi.) Hurry up and post pictures, I wanna see!!

[Powder]

I know I'll be making it a point to do so!

[BoggleKng]

So much Con, too little time.. and yes, Larsen did hint that he wants to conclude the Image series.. some how, so it fits into other volumes..

[Archon_Turtle]

One of my favorite moments from the show. I was talking to Seth Green at his signing table about the turtles (he had seen the Dooney print I was carrying). Then he noticed my arm and he goes "OOOOOH ****!" and pulls out his phone to take a picture!

[IveyAngelo]

Really cool, did you manage to find out if there's going to be any TMNT in Season 5 of Robot Chicken? *G* Heh I know he's a TMNT fan, we chatted back in 2008 about the NECA Turtle toys, a very cool guy.

At NYC 2009 Seth got excited about our Robot Chicken costume, it got pulled into a room with them as they took pictures of it, he even signed the Chicken. He's always a fun guest to have at the con, hope they keep bringing him. :)

Unfortunately I got next to no time to talk to him. His handlers didnt even want us to stop for pictures let alone talk to them. But...you know...we did anyway :-P

[Powder]

Heh, I know how ya feel, dude. Michael Sinterniklaas did the same when he saw my turtle tat. Quite a feeling!

[agliarept]

crikey that is one nice pic. its cool you captured the "moment" as it happened. very cool stuff. I hope I get a chance to upload my pics today, had trouble with iphoto on my mac.

I got to meet some cool people too and privately walked with Stan lee two times friday and sat and got to chat with him. that was my highlight lol. Hopefully I will get some decent pics up.

[Venom]
