I've never been to Detroit, but wouldnt Chicago make a little more sense? Flights would be cheaper there and its centerally located. Then on the other hand I know of several artists who hate the way Wizard runs the Chicago con, and it is pretty crowded. I dunno, I guess I could do Detroit.
It would be nice to do something closer to the east coast as well. Didnt last year Laird & Eastman got together in MA for a signing? I think I remember something about that on the mailing list. Being the 20th ann. and all perhaps we could all e-mail both of them and see if they are willing to plan something for the summer, even if its just another signing!?
