I think GAR is going to be a Fango in Chicago this March. I'll be there if anyone wants to meet up. We are taking a bunch of Archives of the Dead postcards to pass out.

Romero will be at ZomBcon (29OCT2010-31OCT2010) in Seattle. ZomBcon just posted his attendance, but I don't know yet if he'll be there all three days or not. Never had the chance to meet the legend before, so I can't wait for this!

King George will be at Rock & Shock for those of us in New England.

How much does George A Romero charge for each autograph usually, or just give me a ball park estimate. I'm going to see him along with Bruce Campbell, Ted Raimi and Malcolm McDowell at ZomBcon in Seattle.

[DawnFan inCincy]

Romero and McDowell were both charging $25 the times I met them. McDowell was charging to take a photo at HorrorHound Cincinnati a couple weeks ago and I hear George was also at the Scarefest in Lexington the week before. I had already met George, so I didn't go through his line at Scarefest, but he took photos for free the time I met him last March.

[bd2999]

Romero, Savini and the cast of the original Dawn will be at Day's of the Dead Culture Shock Weekend in Indianapolis from Feb 27-29th. Looks like Romero is 50 bucks for autographs with a picture taken at his table free with autograph. There are time blocks each day for it. For anyone interested.

[JohnoftheDead19]

from what I saw, George will be appearing at Motor City Nightmares in Novi, MI April 28-30

$50... is that the going rate now?

[ProfessorChaos]

i met mr. romero back in august of 2013 in chicago and autographs were $40. worth it, but 50 bucks is getting a little steep in my opinion.
