Former Illinois Governor To Sign Autographs, Pose For Pictures, Meet Fans At Pop Culture Festival Saturday!

The verdict is in! Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich will appear at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con on Saturday at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill. Blagojevich will sign autographs, pose for pictures and meet fans at the pop culture convention.

The photo session will begin at 10:30 a.m., with autographs to follow at 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.

“I'm looking forward to meeting loyal supporters and other fans on Saturday,” said Blagojevich, whose many recent television appearances included a stint on “Celebrity Apprentice.”

“Wizard World Chicago Comic Con is all about pop culture, and Rod Blagojevich is as relevant to today's news as it gets,” said Gareb Shamus, CEO of Wizard Entertainment. “We think the court of public opinion will show him to be a popular figure at the show.”

Blagojevich joins 500 other celebrities, artists and industry pros at Chicago Comic Con, which continues through Sunday. William Shatner, Adam West, Linda Hamilton and James Marsters are among the stars in attendance.


I guess if he can make money at Wizard World (at this point, I absolutely refuse to call it Chicago Comic Con) so my tax dollars don't have to pay for his defense, this isn't the worst thing in the world but what's Wizard thinking?  How low are they willing to prostitute themselves?

I wonder if he'll be signing at the fountain?  As I said on Twitter, have fun at your funny book show, people.  I'm waiting for April I guess.
