Penny Arcade’s Gabe and Tycho Going to New York Comic Con (Oh, and So are We)
Good news for those of you going to New York Comic Con 2009 in February! Once again, Luke and I will be in attendance representing The Quarterbin and Gamervision.com. If that’s not enough of a draw for you (though, how could it not be?), there’s more. It has been announced that Gabe and Tycho (who have real names, which I don’t care to use), of Penny Arcade webcomic and video game fame, will be guests of honor at the Con. What a strange coincidence! I wonder if we’ll run into them.
Gabe and Tycho will be signing and doing panels, and if PAX 08 was any indication, they should be hilarious. They join a fairly awesome line-up that’s only going to get bigger in the coming months, so stay tuned for more information. If you can’t attend the Con, no worries. We will be covering all three days of nerdy goodness so you don’t have to! Personally, I’m just glad I don’t have to wait until PAX 09 to get a chance to stalk see Gabe and Tycho again. Less than two months to go until New York Comic Con… are you ready?
