Emerald City Comicon Recap!

No matter how long we've been doing cons and events, each one is its own individual experience with its own individual challenges. Emerald City Comicon made sure we knew that! Our setup was one of the longest setups we've had. We decided that when shows are local to one of us, it's almost more work because we can keep tweaking and changing things up to the last minute. But we were so happy with how the booth turned out and we had a great show!

We also brought our new Con*Quest Adventure Journals™ to the con, as well as our full line-up of tees and merchandise. Friday was definitely our strongest day at the show. Some of the most fun things that happen now that we are repeating events are the return of customers from last year, seeing attendees wearing our shirts and meeting online friends and fans in person!

Here is our Emerald City Comicon experience in pictures:

The awesome-ness that was Emerald City Comicon!

What an awesome show! There were so many good things about Emerald City Comicon, it's hard to name just one highlight. First, the other vendors we were with were so cool. We met so many great people and made some awesome connections!

Then the FANS! The whole experience was excellent, but what was really evident was that everyone was just extrememly happy and excited to be there. There was a feeling of fun and camaraderie that carried throughout the event.

We've got a little picture diary below, but it doesn't do justice to the experience. Our next event is C2E2 in Chicago April 26 to 28 (nearly MY home turf this time) and we're looking forward to another excellent adventure!
