Have you bought your tickets for TVD Chicago, yet? If not, you may want to hurry, because tickets are going fast! Gold passes are already 2/3rds sold out, so if you’re planning to buy one, it would be a good idea to do it soon. The convention will take place April 14th-15th, 2012 at the Westin O’Hare in Chicago, IL. Scheduled guests include Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Michael Trevino, Zach Roerig, Daniel Gillies and Joseph Morgan.

Guess what? We’re going, too! Vampire-Diaries.net will not only be attending the convention, we’re taking the stage to present a couple panels of our own. We’ll be doing a different panel each day, and we’ve also teamed up with Creation Entertainment to offer a no-public-speaking-required trivia option for anyone who wants to test their knowledge without the pressure of a timed game. Check it out:

Mackin’ On The Monsters: The Changing Look Of Vampires & Werewolves In Film
Join us for a look at some of film and television’s most famous vampires & Werewolves, and how their looks and appeal have changed over the years. From scary to sexy, we’ll show you how our favorite monsters have gone from devils to dates, upgrading their style and trading coffins for Camaros. We’ll also talk about some of the popular myths, show you which ones made the cut for The Vampire Diaries and give you a look at some of the characters that the Vampire Diaries‘ cast have named as their favorite Hollywood bloodsuckers.

Scare Me, Stake Me, You Can’t Break Me: The Women Of TVD
The Vampire Diaries has some fantastic female characters, many of whom have undergone major changes from their first appearance to the present day. From April 1 – April 7th, we’ll be asking fans to vote on their favorite bad-ass, loyal and all around awesome moments by the female characters on the show. Join us at the convention to see the results and celebrate some of your favorite TVD ladies. We’ll talk about how they’ve changed throughout the course of the show, what unique qualities each character brings to the table and what makes The Vampire Diaries one of the best shows on TV when it comes to portraying strong women and girls.

Mr. Saltzman’s History Test
Don’t like being put on the spot? This test has no time limit and nobody watching you. We’re supplying the questions for a test of your Vampire Diaries historical knowledge, keep an eye out for it near the registration area when you check in. Just fill it out and drop it off, an Alaric stand-in will grade it (bourbon-free grading, we promise!) and all A students will receive a prize.

This convention is going to be epic. Come on out to support the actors and show some love for the show (and make sure we’re not talking to an empty room, pretty please?), we hope to see you there! Tickets are on sale now at Creation Entertainment’s website, and you can follow @TVDCon for more information and updates as they happen.
