Dragon*Con 2012 Venture Bros. Schedule
It's time for the dragon-iest of conventions, Dragon*Con! Dragon*Con is probably the most cosplay friendly convention out there, or at least contains the highest percentage of costumed folks. Venture Bros. fans are of course no different, and seem to continually be striving to dress up as the most obscure, rarely seen characters that they can.
Along with that the convention seems to have figured out how to close the gap between celebrity and fan, so the celebrity guests are in panels that are far less serious and more varied than they would be at SDCC or a similar show. For those of you hankering for some Venture related activities, look no further. This schedule contains not only the scant few official Venture Bros. items (currently only one) but also any panels where Doc, Jackson and/or James are a guest panelist as well as some of the many fan-run panels!
As is often the case with Dragon*Con, this schedule is subject to change, so keep checking back if you're not sure.
To make your life a little easier each event has been color-coded (and bordered for those of you who may be color blind) as follows:
Fan-Run Event
Official Event
Celebrity Guest
Fan-run event denotes either a Dragon*Con fan panel or a non-official Dragon*Con event. Official event indicates that the event is being run by Adult Swim. The celebrity guest denotation means that Doc, Jackson and/or James are guests on an official Dragon*Con panel but the panel itself is not focused on Venture Bros.. So for those of you attending there's ample opportunity to fill your weekend with Venture Bros.! Enjoy!
