It's 148 days until Comic-Con International in San Diego but it's only 45 days until this year's WonderCon in Anaheim. WonderCon is run by the same folks. It's their "smaller" convention since it "only" has a turnout of 66,000 or so people. If you're new to convention-going and the prospect of attending the monster in San Diego is intimidating, you might be comfortable "breaking in" at WonderCon. It's also humanly possible to get admission badges for WonderCon.
I will be at both and at WonderCon, I'll be hosting six panels which I'll tell you about after March 20, which is when the complete programming schedule will be posted on the convention website. (Hint: My schedule for the 2020 WonderCon will look a lot like my schedule for the 2019 WonderCon.)
WonderCon is April 10-12 and this may or may not be a drawback: Attending WonderCon on Easter Weekend means you'll be going very close to "The Happiest Place on Earth," aka Disneyland. This website tracks and predicts when Disneyland is most crowded and it says "Yup, it's packed" to April 10 and 11 but "Hey It's Alright" to April 12.
You might figure that into your travel plans. Also, a mere sixty miles south of Anaheim, my friend Frank Ferrante is performing his much-lauded An Evening With Groucho on the evenings of April 13 and 14. That's at the Northeast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach, California and you can get info and tickets here. This will probably be the only time this year in this state you'll be able to see this guy do his uncanny facsimile of Julius "Groucho" Marx.
You'd have a great time seeing Frank. You'd have a great time at WonderCon. And hey, you might even have a great time at Disneyland if you bring lots of money, real comfortable shoes, either a child or the mind of one and the good sense not to go there on Friday or Saturday. You can probably get on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride late the afternoon of Saturday, April 11 if you get in line sometime this week.
