Upcoming Convention Appearances
From David Mack:
	I am definitely going to Pittsburgh next week. Will I see you there? Bendis, Oeming and Andy Lee will be there, too. I'm also planning to go to Philly, if my schedule permits. Will be at Chicago. And San Diego. And there is a VERY good chance I will be at the Toronto show... because Bendis is going. I also plan to be at Dragon*Con and Heroes Con.
Please note that the Canadian National Comic Book Expo and Dragon*Con will be open during the same weekend, so Mr. Mack will likely announce a revised list of appearances in the near future.
