Awesome Con. A convention that just wrapped its 3rd year. You’re used to us doing the “UnConventional” series where we give you the press side of the coin. Well. Here we are a year later and UnConventional is now going to feature more than just Press, it is going to feature Exhibitor points of view as well.
Here was my view for the whole show, in picture story form.
Me and my booth, being awesome, at Awesome Con.
Me and the boys from Comic Book Men, Bryan and Ming.
Me and Brian Tee, two very good looking dudes.
Me and Ming. The ONLY Person that cared at all that I publish comics.
Me and Jason Mewes. I don’t think he has real teeth.
Me and Kristin Bauer. She was Pam on True Blood and is now on OUAT
Me and Dina Meyer
Me and Grant Imihara. He and I also had beers, no pictures of that though.
Me and the karate kid Ralph Macchio.
Me and April O’Neil- Judith Hoag!
OH HAI.
I’d go back, but at least I now have realistic expectations of a smaller con. It’s expensive as a retailer, saturated as an artist, the layout was atrocious but they had decent sized lanes of travel for humans. When we do our Hashtag Con i’m going to have it laid out quite differently.
Special Edition NYC starts tomorrow. No big celebs, unless you’re a fan of sequential art. I’ll see what I can do!
