On Tuesday Vaneta Rogers asked Dan Jurgens the question of the week in her column "JURGENS Talks Fast-Moving JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL" at Newsarama.com:

Nrama: Does Booster really have a "Booster Cave?" Will we see it soon?

Jurgens: Of course, the "Booster Cave" is real! In a sense, anyway. And, yes, you will see it.

I'm already giddy with anticipation, but Jurgens is coy as usual. If that answer is still too vague for you, there's still time to make travel plans to meet Jurgens at this weekend's New York Comic Con.

Dan Jurgens' website, danjurgens.com, indicates that Jurgens will be at the convention for 2 days, October 14 and 15, but the convention website, newyorkcomiccon.com, only notes that Jurgens will be present for the "DC All Access: Justice League" panel on Saturday, October 15. Maybe Jurgens is attending on Friday as a fan.

No doubt Jurgens will talk about Booster Gold and the rest of the Justice League International as part of the "DC All Access: Justice League" panel. Jurgens will be one of many creators on the one hour panel, including Brian Azzarello, Brian Buccellato, Cliff Chiang, Yildiray Cinar, Tony Daniel, Geoff Johns, JT Krul, Jim Lee, Francis Manapul, Joe Prado, Ivan Reis, Philip Tan, and Eric Wallace.

Despite that stellar line-up, the panel is scheduled to last only one hour, from noon to 1PM. Fourteen creators on one panel for one hour? That means that each creator should get to speak for just about 3 minutes each. Choose your questions wisely, attendees.

I promoted last October's FallCon, so you bet I'm going to remind you about this weekends' SpringCon! SpringCon is twice the fun of FallCon: both Saturday and Sunday (two whole days!) from 10AM to 5PM at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. While Gail Simone and Denny O'Neil have announced that they will be unable to attend (these things happen), there's no need to worry: Dan Jurgens will still be there. With Jurgens present, what else do you need?

More details can be found at the Midwest Comic Book Association website.

Just in time to welcome Dan Jurgens back to Booster Gold and remind you about his upcoming appearance at SpringCon (more on that tomorrow), I found this on withnailrules.tumblr.com:

For the record, I should state that I have never found Dan Jurgens to be an ass. He has always been friendly and even generous in his communications with Boosterrific.com. I am also aware that no one is on his best behavior all the time, and that applies to both creators and their fans.

This reminds me of a friend who was self-publishing his comic and tried to get John Byrne to comment on it. It had been a long day at a convention, and a tired Byrne had simply replied to my friend's request for a review with a snappish, "I don't read comics." Rather than be offended, my friend had that quote printed as a pull quote on the back of his comics. It's a prized jewel in my personal comic book collection.

If last week's New York Comic Con didn't wear you out, consider checking out FallCon 2010 from 10AM to 4PM tomorrow at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. Fallcon is already superior to New York Comic Con simply because Minnesota native, Booster Gold-creator, and all-around-great-guy Dan Jurgens is on the guest list. I'll take quality over quantity any day.
