<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Consolas">I am going Saturday. I have never been to a large comic convention like this before. I am worried about huge lines and missing out on meeting Sergio. Anyone been to Boston before? How are the lines to meet artists? Even though the main reason I am going is to meet Sergio, I would like to meet one or two others on the list too. Anyone know if Sergio is going to be there both days and what hours he will be there?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Consolas">Also how much does Sergio charge for simple sketches or even a more detailed drawing?</FONT></SPAN></P>
