Sounds cool, it could be great to meet them, and even more super if the Trio would be there too. Too bad I don't live in NY though. Have fun to those attending the expo!

Eh, I might go Sunday if I remember. I'm more sci-fi/fantasy (Ray Park!) rather than anime/comic book. Hopefully someone more excited will post details/pics for everyone not able to attend.
