WONDERCON 2014 – FRIDAY EVENT PREVIEW & PANEL RECOMMENDATIONS – 4-17-2014 Written By David L. $Money Train$ Watts – FuTurXTV – Howard Hobson – Funk Gumbo Radio – Raymond C. Reed – Global Media Village – Auggie Cavanagh – Cameraman - FuTurXTV’s Media Partners David Velo Stewart & Brandon Bowlin

These are the Friday 4-18-2014 events and panels at WonderCon 2014 that I would go to myself and recommend checking out. And all WonderCon attendees have to remember that you need to register first for a panel to guarantee you have the best shot at getting inside. Just showing up outside a panel room flashing your badge will not guarantee you getting inside. You will spend your day being bummed and Tweeting about how you did not get to see your favorite celeb, writer or artist. So be smart this year and go to WonderCon at http://www.comic-con.org/wca and http://www.comic-con.org/wca/programming-schedule and get to the panels you really want to see, learn from and experience.

WonderCon 2014 - Friday – April 18th 2014:
