Free Comic Book Day & John Romita Jr. in Las Vegas!!! Free Comic Book Day keeps on growing in Las Vegas and this one this year is a special one.
John Romita Jr. Attempts to Break His Guinness World Record of Longest Personal Signing & Drawing Appearance during opening weekend of Marvel's The Avengers motion picture.
To secure Jordan's (Heroes For Jordan) lifetime medical and personal needs and assist other children suffering from cancer and life-threatening diseases, the Romita Foundation and Comic Oasis has teamed with the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Nevada to raise much needed funds for Jordan and for other children diagnosed with cancer. 10 years after he set the original record, John Romita Jr., will attempt to break his own world record with 50 hours of longest personal signing & drawing appearance.
The public is invited to attend the World Record Attempt and encouraged to make a contribution to the Heroes For Jordan/Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Nevada. Marvel character sketches and autographs by John Romita Jr. will be available for specified donations on a first-come, first-served basis.
This special event will take place at Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas (3771 S. Las Vegas Blvd.) starting Friday May 4th at Noon until Sunday May 6th at 2pm. Stan "The Man" Lee is reportedly scheduled to make an appearance. A blank cover for Kick-Ass 2 #7 was also made for the event and I hear John has also made a special print for the event!
A call out to all local and maybe even visiting artist, if you have some time and feel like sketching I can point you in the right direction to contact Comic Oasis to set up some times to help keep John company. 
UPDATE Found this little video of Romita speaking about the event with more info on donations

Comic oasis and the people who I am with won't let me go. Oh the humanity!!! My soul is truely In agonyXD
However, Joe shot me up an email the same day that there was a call for sketch artists to draw @ UA Theatre(next to Hard Rock?) from 10pm to 12am to help promote FCBD, the Avengers, and awareness of JRJR's fundraiser. That would have been fun to do...had I known about it earlier!
Since I do not own a smart phone, I read the e-mails late(just 2 hours ago!). Last e-mail I got from them was Monday and since I hadn't had any replies back early Tuesday, I just assumed that I would just show up @ Hard Rock on Fri at the times i mentioned I was available.
I won't be able to go at all since I only planned on setting aside some time from my weekend to draw some sketches for people.
Oh well, I hope the whole thing goes well and JRJR raises enough funds and awareness over the weekend.
I have to be honest, I like the simple in-store signings much better than things like this... But i don't really have any right to complain since I haven't really shown up to anything in the past 2 or 3 years.
I'm sorry this didn't work out.
Yeah, more times than naught: simple almost always seems to be better.
At least I don't have to deal with evening Strip traffic on a Fri & Sat!
I get the feeling that Stan may be there for a press conference style appearance, that guy always has something in the works that may require a announcement.
I haven't planned on being there but there will be other artist alongside John throughout the event.
