Meredith Gran, de facto organizer of the mass gathering known as the New England Webcomics Weekend, has let it be known today that a pre-registration for the event is now required due to the huge influx of visitors and creators they are expecting.

Go fill out a quick form and make sure you won’t be the one whimpering, “But my girlfriend’s in there”, to which Gran will reply, “Hey, a LOT of people’s girlfriends are in there.”

UPDATE: And registration is closed. Wow. Check back here or the Webcomics Weekend site to see if more space might open up, because this is one party you DON’T want to miss!
