according to the csr person i spoke while transferring my existing reservation to the hilton, I had until the 20th to cancel my Clarion reservation.

Oh dear, CCI's site says we only have until today at 4pm PST. Somehow, I'm not surprised by this discrepancy

I'm wondering if they're rushing WC stuff to get to SDCC stuff...?

Hmm, that's definitely possible. It wouldn't be surprising, since SDCC badge sales appear to be uncharacteristically late this year. Perhaps they're just really overwhelmed...?

I'm pretty sure they're very overwhelmed right now. I'm overwhelmed by the amount of stuff they have yet to do... or even announce! No wonder WC is getting short shrift!

Well I'm glad I cancelled my excess reservations (2 days at doubletree and wed night at hilton) at 2:00 PM today then so hopefully I'm good for any deadline they want to use!   ::)

eta:  wow now there are no days available at the Hilton or doubletree!

I'm staying with a bunch of friends at the Residence Inn. A suite that sleeps 6 was the same price as Hilton there AND you get free full breakfast every morning.

That's correct.  ^__^d 

Whatever address is listed on your Member ID account is the one that they'll be sending the badges to (as long as the badges are purchased before February 27th).

WonderCon Anaheim 2017 special guest Michael Cho is the illustrator behind this year’s amazing WCA Program Book cover. And best of all, you can wear it, too! The cover art is just one of three incredible official WCA 2017 T-shirts (more on those in the weeks ahead)!

This year’s cover/T-shirt combo includes the original, Silver Age incarnations of some of TV’s most popular superheroes, including (clockwise from upper left) Rip Hunter, Time Master, Supergirl, Green Arrow, The Flash, Black Canary, and J’onn J’onzz, Manhunter from Mars. Modern day versions of these DC Comics heroes appear on the CW each week, in DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, Arrow, and The Flash.

Cho is best known for his variant cover work on titles such as Marvel’s Civil War II, and his covers for DC’s graphic novel collections of Golden and Silver Age stories, such as the Flash, Justice League of America, Superman, Batman, and many more. He’s also the writer/illustrator of the graphic novel, Shoplifter, published by Pantheon in 2014. Michael will have a table in WonderCon’s Artists’ Alley this year, so make sure and stop by and get your book signed! Michael’s art will also be featured in an ad for the convention appearing in DC Comics publications during the month of March.

This year’s official WonderCon Anaheim T-shirt will be available for sale at the show only. Cho’s design (shown below) is just one of three official WCA 2017 shirts that will be offered this year. The other two T-shirt designs will feature the WonderCon Anaheim logo and will be revealed soon … check back here on Toucan for more info as we get closer to the show, along with information on some other exciting WCA merchandise we'll be offering at this year's event!

Gee, another crummy Wonder Con shirt   :( Why is it always DC?  Maybe they can't get Marvel but what about the independents?

Actually, I kind of like it too... I think it would look better without the white square background, but it's a decent-looking shirt overall.  ^__^;

Since one reason we started HallH.com was to put the spotlight on independent creators I would have done a Stranger Comics shirt...or a KID Comics shirt.
