    I believe SQ7 said if he was going, a TFW meetup could take place in his hotel room. Well, SQ7, now that you know you're coming, whaddyasay?

    And is anyone else here going to the Friday party?
    I've got some questions about Metal Gear Solid and Star Trek TNG I can't wait to ask Mr. Eiding :D

    I'll be farting. Oh wait, that's not a mystery.

    At any rate, I'm making arrangements to be there all weekend! Yeah!

    I'll be sure to load up on brats, sauerkraut, and beer right before my flight out of Milwaukee so that I may dominate The Flatulence Fortitude Challenge. ;)

    I say we find an empty room and fart it up, then when the hotel staff opens the door...

    Maybe it'll be like a zombie movie

    What's been going on in here?!?!

    Time to get this train back on the tracks with some more announcements!

    First off, we are happy to announce that we will be joined by another IDW artist at the show, none other than Brian Shearer! Brian has been working in the comics industry for several years on books such as Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Doctor Who as well as other titles. About 10 years ago he co-created his first creator-owned book, GravyBoy, which gave him the experience of creating and publishing a book from the ground up. Brian lives in Greensboro, NC with his wife, son, and a cat who likes to be petted at the most inconvenient times.

    What's that? Not enough Artists for you yet? Then how about the talented John Wycough! John is an inker, Transformers fan, drummer, awesome cook, and member of Tsunami Studios. He has worked on many titles, (Star Wars, Fear Itself, Chaos War, G.I. Joe, to name a few) along with TRANSFORMERS!! (Last Stand of the Wreckers, TF:Robots in Disguise, TF: More Than Meets the Eye, TF: Infestation2, All Hail Megatron, Movie tie ins) Woot!-Woot! He tends to subconsciously live by the motto of the Wreckers, as he tends to Wreck-n-Rule when no one is looking.

    Brian and John will hosting our "Learn to Draw Transformers" Panel on Friday Night!

    But, wait, what? You still need more announcements? Then we are happy to announce to you our final door prize, PPO5W Weapons Specialist and PPO5M Medical Specialist! That's right, both will be given away as a set!
    [​IMG]

    Oh and one more thing that I almost forgot to mention. For anyone who missed out on Aftershock, there will be one in our Charity Auction on Saturday night :D  The Charity Auction is only open to preregistrants, so make sure you do it soon as preregistration closes this Monday night at midnight. Also if you are planning on booking a hotel room, our special rate also ends Monday at midnight.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

    Hmm, we derailed the thread with Odorous Vaporous Emitus and we got new guests and more prizes.

    Given the cause and effect nature of that arrangement, I think it's only appropriate to point out that in the dealer room, Whomever smelt, dealt it. ;)
