Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a little note. In two days I'm jumping on a plane to New York City. Provided Chicago O'Hare doesn't fuck me over, I will be attending the New York Comic-Con for a day and a half, Friday afternoon through Sunday morning.

Saturday is a big, busy day. Early on in the day is a panel with Stephen King, Jae Lee, Joe Quesada, Peter David, Robin Furth, Ralph Macchio (I don't think it's the karate kid) and Richard Isanove all about the Dark Tower comic book at Marvel.

I've got the fear, butterflies in my tummy, because right after the panel I have a 1:1 sit down interview with Stephen King. I'd be lying if I said he was anything less than an idol of mine and the fact that I get to spend 15 plus minutes talking nothing but Dark Tower with the man has me both giddy and terrified. You better believe JJ Abrams is coming up, although I'm sure he'll be bombarded at the panel beforehand.

To add on to the fear, Lionsgate has asked me to moderate their Hostel II panel from 5pm-6pm and I have not one little clue what the hell to say to the 2000 people expected to be in the room. I think I'll let the real talent on the panel with me do most of the talking. That's a good strategy, methinks. Eli Roth, Roger Bart and Heather Mattarazzo will be there and Lionsgate promises some exclusive Hostel II footage.

So, hope to see some of you folks there. I'm in and out so quickly (I won't be on the ground 48 hours) I won't have much time, but if you see me around the Con feel free to say hi. Have pity on a fat geek and don't jeer too loudly at the Hostel II panel!
