Wow, what a great show we had! This was our best event to date and we couldn't be happier. The people in Indianapolis have always been good to us (that might be why I call it my home.) In fact, one of our most successful
Creation Entertainment Twilight conventions was the Indy con.
One of the best things to happen at
Gen Con (aside from selling lots of t-shirts, lanyards,
Zoms and Star Trek Insignia pins) was all of the great feedback we received. We've been doing this long enough now to see the patterns of how people check out our designs and our brand. There is often a small crowd around our booth and they're all reading each shirt carefully, chuckling to themselves and pointing out their favorite designs to their companions. What was even more awesome this time was that we had a lot of people then tell us how funny/awesome/smart/hilarious our brand, concepts and designs are. We have always thought so, but it sure is a great feeling to hear it over and over again from people seeing us for the first time. Thanks to Gen Con and thanks to Indianapolis for an amazing show! We CAN'T WAIT for Gen Con 2014!
Below is a picture diary of the event. Set-up seemed more challenging than many we've done in the past (we really only had one day to do it and that's just not enough) but tear down was faster and smoother! At least we were winning at one end because we've certainly had shows where both sucked :)
Our next show is
Wizard World Ohio September 20 - 22, come out and see us!

I made the reel! It's cool to see the show from a vendor perspective. We may try and grab a booth next year.
Of course the Doctor made the reel! :) We had friends of ours tell us we needed to vend at Gen Con for 3 years before we finally did it. And we are so glad we did! It was a great show, with wonderful and supportive attendees. Honestly, one of the best first show experiences we've had.
