*UPDATE- RESCHEDULED* 2013 Boston Comic Con April 20-21
With the tragedy that happened in Boston, our hearts go out to all of the families touched by this horrific act. For those of us that were planning on heading to Boston for the 2013 Boston Comic Con you may be wondering if this will go down this weekend. After all, The Hynes Convention Center, where the event was scheduled to be held is only @ 2 blocks from where the second explosion happened.
*UPDATE*

Make sure to add in extra time for the logistics of getting through an airport and town that is currently walking on eggshells and should have a very increased security presence. The Boston Comic Con site asks "Attention Costumers: Out of respect for the tragic events that have recently transpired, we are asking those attendees dressing in costume not to bring any real or mock weapons to the show. Thank you."
Also, lets show Boston how caring and generous our Comic Con going crews can be. Come ready to donate some money, blood, or time to help Boston relief efforts. A little bit really goes a long way. If you are not going you can always click this link to donate to the American Red Cross’s Disaster fund or this link for The Salvation Army who are providing some direct relief for the first responders and families effected.

To those of you going, we are very jealous so make sure to take lots of pics for us (This year our crew has several other events including Philly's own Walking Dead Event). These are a few places we have checked out while in Boston:
