As previously reported on Nerdsociety, the Las Vegas Comic Expo will be held this coming weekend Saturday 9/29 and Sunday 9/30. Because of the recent storms that hit Vegas, the previous lociation – the Alexis Park Resort – experienced extensive flooding damage causing the venue to be relocated to the Riviera Hotel (so make sure you don’t show up at the wrong hotel decked out in your Halo Noble 6 gear or you might get 86’d!) Alexis Park will have a shuttle that can can take you to the Riviera should you decide to remain at the Alexis Park. Click here for room accommodation information.
Here are some of the particulars:

Thanks for the reminder, I’ll bring my Mist blu-ray for Jane.
BTW, Finch cancelled, which bums me out because I love his art 🙁
There’s still plenty of cool artists. Can’t wait!
