Last summer, Awesome Show fans were traumatized by the absence of a fifth Awesome Con festival at Seaport Village in San Diego. Now Tim and Eric have a hit movie, new season of “Brule’s Rules”, and plenty to crow about! If it was up to me, this would be the schedule for the 2012 Awesome Con!

Zach’s Back!
A-list actor Zach Galifianakis delivers the State of the Hangover address; serving up only the juiciest behind-the-scenes gossip fans want to hear, live via a tape recording.
And of course there will be sing-alongs, autographs, costume contests, free “food”, and more!
(Please note, as of press time there are no plans to have another Awesome Con, these are just my own ideas that could be used to have the best one ever.)
