Well, summer is here and with it the convention season is upon us! If you're like us (and who isn't?) then you'll be itching to attend some fun gatherings of like-minded indivduals for nerdy fun.

Currently, these Ninjas are scheduled to be at the following space/time coordinates. Check here for updates on more cons as they become available.


Mike Franchina
July - San Diego Comic-Con (you can find Mike wherever fine beers are sold!)

Howard Van Lyon
July - San Diego Comic-con.

Jeremy McHugh
July - Origins and OGC (in New Hampshire).
August - GenCon! Jeremy will have a table in the art show, so stop by and say "hi".

Patrick McEvoy

August - Wizard World Chicago. He'll be at the "Starkweather" table in Artist's alley, surrounded by many other Archaia creators.

We hope to see you this summer!
