Superman CelebrationMetropolis, IL June 8-11, 2006 What do you get when you cross comic fans, fair foods, celebs, and an 18 foot tall Superman statue? The Superman Celebration in Metropolis, IL! Being a Superman fan and not having been to Metropolis is like being an Elvis fan and not having visited Graceland! This year the Bushi Tales team and several other comic creators will be making the trip to Metropolis to attend. Dave Beaty, Micah Stewart, Lin Workman (me!), Antone Wade, Janet Wade, Adam Shaw, Penny Register, Kevin Williams, and Muley The Mule will be there along with Marv Wolfman, Steve 'Cake' Stanley, and the return of Steve 'The Dude' Rude! Other guests to be announced soon! Stop by the Metropolis Chamber of Commerce to visit us and check out the comic art show- and A/C! Scott Cranford will be returning as the OFFICIAL Superman of Metropolis. (I hear that someone from Gotham City will be there as well!) Plenty of things to do while in Metropolis- a Superman Museum, Hollywood Museum, celeb autographs, comic art show, costume contest, comic panels and demonstrations, Harrah's Casino, a Super-banquet and auction, corn dogs and lots more! We'll all be there Friday-Sunday! www.SupermanCelebration.net

Conventions are an awful lot of work for a vacation. She must be talking about those 15-30 minutes on Sunday when your having dinner- before you drive back. That can seem like a vacation.

Should be a great time- we'll have to all go out for dinner that night to celebrate! Since 25yr anniversaries are silver, and 50yr ones are gold, I guess this one will be Kryptonite! ;D

The casino has an all you can eat buffet and it's just down the street from the celebration, so we can all eat together at least one night other than the banquet, which is a lot of fun, too. We can also hang out at the hotel after hours, and maybe do some swimming- they have an indoor pool. I'm hoping they'll have another car there. Didn't get a chance to ride in the General Lee last year.

Ah! Metropolis! It is such an interesting place to visit. You never know what you'll find, like the finding of Alex Ross. You can also see a lot of awesome Superman and DC Comics stuff and meet interesting people like John Schnider and Margott Kidder (Not sure I spelled their names correctly). I also like the return trip home and the occasional adventure to Jackson, TN along the way. LOL. Just kidding, sagwa! ;D

Yeah, waking up in Jackson, TN was an adventure!
Last year Kev and I came back thru AR/MO and stopped in at Lambert's- home of the throwed rolls! ;D
Well gang, looks like Dave and Micah can't make it out to Metropolis this year. Some things have come up- and gone up like plane tickets! We're all going to try and be there together next year.
I'm still planning to be there. Haven't missed one since I started going back in '99!
