I posted this at DF, but am excited so posting here also.

Yesterday, I sent the Central Canada Comic Con folks an e-mail, asking about inviting Frank, Tim, James, to run games at the Con.

The 2013 Central Canada Comic Con

Well, when I checked my e-mail this morning, the response I received was offering me the positon of Gaming Coordinator. I was quite surprised and excited. I answered back, letting them know my gaming history and how I have contact with games devlopers, designers artists etc. I still don't know if this is a full time position or not. I work full time now, so I am not sure what to do. I would still have to go through an interview of course.

I told them I would do it. So we are going to set up an interview.

The gaming area also allows folks to set up their new games and give demos.  :wink:

Thanks.

Not a career move though. I will still be keeping my day job. Just needed in the weeks leading up to the Con, and be actually there during the Con.

Ron Perlman is headlining this year.  8)

Went to the site and saw that and more. Looks to be a great Con.

It's 14 hours from me, so a little far. Maybe next year we can make it into a mini-vacation. My wife has been hounding me for years to go to Canada.

No that isn't. Must be because you are coming to Canada. Folks here drive to the US, and fly from there to save money.
