If you can't go on thursday and Friday, don't bother going down there on Saturday and Sunday. The lines are just fucking insane. Like 3 to 4 hour standing outside just to get in. I can get a guest in without having to stand in line (pros can skip the line usually), so let me know if you plan to go on Saturday or Sunday.
Pros have a seperate area to pick up their badges, no?

Anyway.. you can cut in line really easily. Just get inside through any door and climb the stairs to the third floor from the middle section of the old part of the convention. There are so many people around no one will even notice you cutting your way 4/5ths to the front of the line.

Or easiest and safest method is just having someone who already has a badge to go the badge area to pay or pick up a new badge. No waiting in line and no questions asked (with proper ID).

Yes.

that would still require him to be there before Saturday or know somebody that's already there.

I go as a freelance professional (they just require to know the professional projects you've worked on in the past year). I still do some freelance for Hasbro and others.

You know, like most people in this thread, I can't stand Rob Liefeld, he was a tag-along on the McFarlane bandwagon (high-detail, hilghly stylized stuff) and never really cared for anything he worked on.

That said, I think the concept of "Shrink" from this link posted earlier in the thread could make a great movie:

I loved Rob Liefeild's character in YoungBlood.. I think his name was GigantorFeet.

SPOILER: Columbus finds America
This thread brought a tear to my eye. The memories.....

We used to love finding panels in which characters magically changed costumes for no reason. SHoulder pad was round in one panel, square the next. Patch on the left eye..poof its on the right eye,

Hail Liefeld, king of floating weapons!!!!

Yer just jealous! His cracking metal rendering detail is envy of all artist-dom!

I have the greatest Rob Liefeld work of all time. And before I mention this comic, I just want to say that I feel really bad maligning Liefeld in any way. When I worked for Wizard: The Comics Magazine, I interviewed the man a few times and found him to be nothing but friendly, smart, and more than a little self-deprecating.

Crappy f-skins. I can't find the comic. But god, it was marvelously awful -- Liefeld did a promotional comic with Jeph Loeb on a "new" character called Captain Freedom or something that absolutely blatant. And yes, the guy was Captain America right down to the shield and skull-like enemy. The second I got my hands on it, I squirreled the thing away. Not because I ever intend to sell it, mind you, but because it's just such a wonderful, undiluted, ripoff.

Needless to say, someone at Marvel contacted the lawyers, and "Freedom" (or whatever his name was) met an untimely demise.

Agent: America, Fighting American, or another rip-off we've never seen before?
