    crazy, I can't justify buying to take pics/autographs with them, but it's not often I get to meet Nash/Hart unless I try to go to Wrestlemania every year, and the 2 times Arianny had public appearances here before the UFC PPVs, lines were insane and I didn't even get the chance. So I don't mind paying the $15-20 each to get my photo opportunity with them

    With Hakeem, I may get lucky seeing him in public and just ask a pic with him, I saw him at Fry's like 3 years ago but didn't want to bother him for a pic and regret it now

    http://www.comicpalooza.com/convention/programming/

    shows panels and events going on but doesn't list times when each celebrity will have their autograph/photo ops

    btw, anybody know if there is any camera restrictions?

    Last year, the autograph/photo ops schedules were kind of day of. There's a booth you go to, to pay for the photo op/autograph and it has the times listed of the scheduled guests. It's estimated at best, because some sessions run longer than others. I suspect it will the same setup this year.

    It's odd that the convention closes at 2 am. The nerds must go wild then. I'm going to confirm.

    Don't believe there are any camera restrictions for the general areas but there might be for some of the celebrity depending on each.

    They get freaky, no lie. It's where the pervading smell of convention ham comes from during the day: nerd sex.

    FYI! Stan Lee's prices

    $80 for photos
    $60 comic and comic size items
    $80 premium items
    $80 for new spiderman #1

    Not bad compared to what we heard with prices being over $100

    BTW, Arianny and Britney had to cancel their appearance due to a scheduling conflict with UFC

    Is this a good place for actual comics or just for photo ops and autographs.

    Much better than $100...still a little high, but whatever. I'm not paying $80 for a picture with Stan Lee anyway.

    They'll be lots of comic artist and vendors with comics in addition to the photo opts and autos.

    That sucks, wanted to meet Arianny

    yea, same here, I've struck out the 2 times they had PPVs here past 2 years to meet her at her public appearances

    btw, is there any difference in taking your own pic and "professional photo" pic? I'm assuming the professional ones are the ones I've seen the pics you had with a white background, standing next to the celeb, while the "taking with your own camera" option is just them on a table sitting or standing up.

    It'll depend on the celeb, for those that allow pics with your camera, on whether you get the lean in or they walk around and what not.

    Some of those doing the "pro photo" opts will not allow any photos at their table, contract type deal with the photag. Those photos are the generic background type deals.
