    damn, well 2017 marked the first time I traveled, went to my first out of state convention, it makes me open to doing it again, unfortuneately I wish I started doing it earlier, because then I feel I would have met Frank Welker already. Frank Welker lives in the L.A. area and he still hasn't done a single show, convention in California yet, not even the West Coast yet either. It's starting to hit me hard now that California, and i'm guessing it affects most of the Western Region of the U.S. as well, is that hardest area to get guests to attend shows, conventions at, I got that info from facebook from people who run shows or are the talent manager for guests.

    If last year is any indication, the earliest guest announcement was in March, but it all may vary.

    Considering going to this for my first TFCon. Is it worth it to go for both Saturday and Sunday, or just one or the other?

    I know that Peter Cullen will be at Fanboy Expo this year in Knoxville, Tennessee, late June, but so far no convention announcement for Frank Welker for 2018, I wonder if 2018 is a year in which Frank Welker won't be attending any cons, or if we are still awaiting his convention announcement for this year, since no announcement for Frank Welker has been announced for this year so far, my guess is he won't be attending any cons for the first half of 2018, as in, won't be attending any for April, May, June, if he does do a Convention for this year, my guess is that it will probably happen in the Fall of this year, because guest announcements are typically made months in advance.

    Ive been chasing autographs off and on since 2000, every year I keep thinking there is no way for the guests to get any better, and every year im proven wrong. Bravo TFCon, Mr. Kreener is your best guest yet!

    I would love to meet him too, the only convention appearance that he's made I'm aware of was at a horror convention, Chicago Flashback Weekend in 2009. As he was born in 1936 he's really up there in age...

    exactly, hopefully TFCon, or another convention, can reach out to him
