I only heard about 2D from *cough name drop* Cam Kennedy, and am definitely interested In going, as there are many a legend in attendance.
Coupla general queries;

Never driven to Derry (only been in NI once in my whole life) before...is it a pain in the arse from Dublin, or not too bad?
Any recommendations on nice hotels nearby?

Its handy enough from Dublin: 3 hours by M1 via Newry. Derry's a lovely city too, well worth a visit. Rooms available in the City Hotel last time I checked, which is less than 10 mins from venue. I could do it as a day trip from Sligo but the line up is so good I'm making a weekend of it.

Sligo hey? Im only down the road from you (castlebar), be sure and drop by and say hello on the day!

I'm prolly just gonna bus it up from Dublin and make a day of it myself as I've other things to go to on Saturday.

What's the story with Cam Kennedy regarding sketches or commissions does anyone know? He's the numero uno reason I'm heading up to this and while I'd love to just meet the man and have him sign some stuff, getting a quick drawing would be that little cherry on top and then some!

[COMMANDO FORCES]

Sadly Cam doesn't do sketches or commissions due to his eyesight fading but he will sign away quite happily.
I would recommend having a chat with him, if you get the chance, as he has some great stories and not just about comics. I managed a wee chat up Hi-Ex! and thoroughly enjoyed it

Cam produced a sketchbook http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php?topic=36423.0  don't know if he'll have that with him or if the new collected works will be out by then, but looks like 2D should be fun
