Real Life [Oct 10, 2013] NYC COMIC CON (New York, NY)

So there is a huge lineup of great people at NYCC this year, but the email I just got takes the fucking cake. Gillian Anderson is going to be at Comic Con Fri/Sat/Sun. I am a HUGE X-files fan, totally need to meet her.
 
David Duchovny just announced. Mulder and Scully back together.

Just saw Kevin Smith will also be there, Friday only. That's where I'll be!
 
I've got Carbine and Namco Bandai on my list. They are near each other. I'm not into comics so the rest of my time will be wandering.

Fair enough...not sure what my buddy wanted to look at specifically. Ill check though. Oh god I just noticed Max Brooks is going to be there!!!!!!
 
So this is my first con in general. How do the autograph sessions work? They seem like they are very limited in time. Do you need to pay? Should I bring stuff to be signed?
 
Hope you guys are planning on hitting me up while you are here! Wish I had known I would have that weekend off; I would have bought tickets as well.

Depends on who is signing. When I went to Phx Comic Con all the artists had stuff at the table you could buy and then have signed. You could also bring your own stuff in, but they usually limit it to 1 or 2 sigs per person. Other people who aren't comic book artists usually charge for sigs or pics. We paid $5 for a pic with the kid from the walking dead. If you have something specific you want signed from a specific person then bring it, otherwise just bring a signature notebook, or buy something at the Con. The majority of the Con is a big shopping mall / artist showcase so bring lots of money to buy goodies regardless.

Oh and a good camera for all the cosplayers.
 
Definitely bringing my camera to document the experience. I'll probably just purchase whatever the guys are selling for the autograph. There aren't many people I intend to get an autograph from.

Thanks for the info though.
 
Convention week is here! Super excited. Need to get through these next 4 lousy days.

What are the meetup plans?
 
If you guys want to grab a beer friday or saturday night afterwards and fill me in on all I am missing so that I can live vicariously through you I'd be a happy Crake.
 
Besides Carbine, and hoping to get a chance to meet Scully and Mulder and the Walking Dead crew...Booth N306 is on my list. Table for the Empire City Garrison of the 501st. They invited me to stop by and talk shop...err costume with them.

EDIT: Carbine is 1644
