Greg---I LOVED Gargoyles like you have NO idea.
I was in my late 20's when this was out, and watched it religiously like a little kid. Somehow though, when it switched networks, I think I missed (and still haven't seen) the last season "The Gargoyle Chronicles."
What I would like to know is, when is your next convention appearance? Do you still do signings?

Greg responds...

I have many convention appearances still remaining this year (2016), and I do signings at all of them:

June 17 - 19: Wizard World Sacramento Comic Con (http://wizardworld.com/comiccon/sacramento)

June 30 - July 3: CONvergence in Minneapolis (http://www.convergence-con.org)

August 18 - 21: Wizard World Chicago Comic Con (http://wizardworld.com/comiccon/chicago)

August 26 - 28: Comic Con Palm Springs (http://www.comicconpalmsprings.com)

September 17 - 18: Long Beach Comic Con (http://longbeachcomiccon.com)

October 21 - 23: Grand Rapids Comic-Con (http://www.grcomiccon.com)

November 4: BlizzCon (https://blizzcon.com/en-us/)

That's seven convention appearances left this year, after having already done Gallifrey-One, Long Beach Comic Expo and Midwest Media Expo.

Wait! Ten conventions total?! What, am I nuts?!!

Hi Greg, I was wondering if anyone has taken and posted any video to your panels at Gallifrey One and Long Beach Comic Expo ? I live on the east coast so I look forward to videos of your panels

Thanks for your time.

Greg responds...

I think so. I seem to recall that one or two were on YouTube. I don't keep track of that stuff, but you might ask fellow fans in the Station 8 Comment Room.
