It's a moment we always look forward to, but it also has a bittersweet tinge, because it means that CCP is over and CC in Brno will be in more than half a year. We're writing this post because we want to say THANK YOU. Especially to you, who support us for a long time and come to enjoy CCP every year. It's amazing to us what it's become over the past 5 years. And we really appreciate that you're in it with us. We are looking forward to seeing you next time!
Brendan Wayne had a great panel on Saturday along with his cast mates Emily Swallow and Tait Fletcher. We didn't manage to post his message in preparation, but we don't want to deprive you of it, you can watch it here for a reminder.
On Friday, as we were finalizing preparations and getting the con underway, we failed to announce the absence of two comic guests due to illness. This was disappointing to their fans, who had flocked to the con with comic books and were looking forward to signing and chatting. Sorry we couldn't make it, we apologize. We miss Mirka Andolfo and Peter Kopl and will be inviting them back at the earliest opportunity.
