If you haven't noticed it already, the NTFA Staff is putting in a huge effort to elevate NordCon into the big league this year. Our intention is to make it into a recurrent event, maybe even an annual one. We have announced our first special convention toy, we are aiming to publish a convention magazine, we are inviting dealers to broaden the range of toys at the convention, we are expanding the art competition and will arrange a lot of other competitions... but there's yet another more ingredient that any ambitious Transformers "must" have: celebrity guests!

So therefore, the NordCon organizers have set out to fill this slot as well. And the result...
on the weekend of 19-20 June, in Aalborg, Denmark, we give you...
Simon Furman

The man hardly needs any introduction, but he'll get one anyway: the most popular and long-time writer on the Transformers comics. He started writing for the UK Transformers comic in 1985 and took over the US book in 1989. He has continued writing Transformers books for both the UK market and the North American market for 25 years, for Marvel Comics, Dreamwave Productions, IDW Publications, and Titan Magazines. He also wrote the final episode of the Beast Wars show on television.
And he will join us at NordCon 2010.

Will you be there too? If you haven't done so already, register now! Remember that the early-bird prices are valid until 15 May. After that the ticket prices increase.

This is excellent news. If Simon Furman is going to be there, then that alone is reason enough for me to attend.

I have met Simon Furman once before, that was at BotCon Europe 2002 in Cheshunt, UK, when I and Lars travelled there. I am really looking forward to meeting him again.

I think I have one or two copies left of the hardcover version, in case anyone's interested in purchasing a copy to have it signed... it's not listed in the store at the moment; it kind of fell out when I discontinued the paperback section.

Just a short update: Simon will be present both days for the convention (doing a panel each day), so even if you only attend one day, you should still be able to meet him. smile.gif

Also, Simon will be bringing a few items (scripts) to sell as well. smile.gif
