Just to remind (or warn) you: I will be among the guests at this year's Wonderon, a fine comic book convention which is being held in Oakland, California from April 19-21. As has become my lot in life, I will hosting a mess of panels, including a 20th anniversary Groo discussion, a Golden/Silver Age panel and a "quick draw" competition which will pit a bunch of cartoonists against one another to see who can whip it out fast.
I'll post a list of the panels here in a week or two, and the whole schedule will be up shortly at the convention website, which is www.wondercon.com. You'll also want to go there for further info on the event. After 30+ years of attending comic conventions, I have seen it all, done it all and generally grown "conventioned out," turning down most invites. I always try to get to WonderCon, however. It's a friendly gathering of just the right size: Large enough that you'll never run out of things to do and people to meet, but not so overwhelming that just getting from one end of the Dealers Room to the other becomes some kind of Bataan Death March past rows of comic books for sale. Try and be there.
