I'm excited to go this year. Phoenix comic con is pretty respectable!

I went once back in 2009, when it was still in Mesa , AZ . It was really small, but I heard its much larger now. Its like Will Wheaton's personal convention :D

It really has grown.  In 2009 when it was in Mesa the total attendance was around 7000 people.

Last year there were just over 55,000 people.

Between 2012 and 2013 I could tell the size of the floor had increased and there were over 18000 more people who attended.

If I'm understanding the website correctly it has grown so much this year that they are moving registration to the south building where as last year and the years before it was in the same building as the con.

I'm really excited for it.  It's cool to see how much it has grown just during the couple of years I have gone.

This is so true. When we went in 2011 we played table top games with him at the Hyatt. He just hangs out there all night!

We will be at the Hyatt, too, me and 7 teens.  We also live in Phoenix but the kids want easy access for cosplay changes.  Plus it is fun to be in the middle of things the entire time :).

What a fabulous line up! So jealous! Not just the actors, but the comic guests and the authors!
Don Rosa! Very jealous!

Well-I just looked at Don's FB page-he is coming to Comicpalooza, so I guess I don't need to be jealous about that! (Just everything else!)
