WonderCon 2013

    This will be Rudy and my first time attending a con together. Rudy was able to attended Ape last year and throughly enjoyed it. He came home with all kinds of awesome stuff and independent comics and art, I was pretty jealous. We are super excited to be able to attended Wondercon this year and will be making the trek from the Central Coast to Southern California. We were hoping Wondercon would be able to secure the San Francisco location as in previous years, but now we get to make a little vacation out of this. It is going to take place at the Anaheim Convention Center and we are planning on staying at one of their headquarters hotels, Marriot Anaheim or Hilton Anaheim. The headquarters hotels are right next to the convention center and have low rates, score! 

March 29-31

  "WonderCon Anaheim, one of the country's best comics and popular arts conventions, will take place the weekend of March 29 - 31 (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), at the beautiful Anaheim Convention Center. In addition to the Exhibit Hall, featuring comics and merchandise from many popular artists and retailers, fans can expect exclusive programming from the top comics publishers in the country, movie and television panels, anime, autographs, games, the Masquerade, and portfolio review. The Anaheim Convention Center is also within easy walking distance to Disneyland's free Downtown Disney district and The Shops at Anaheim Gardenwalk, making it an ideal location for a long weekend visit. WonderCon Anaheim offers the complete convention experience!" -WonderCon
