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:

It's almost CON SEASON!

What is con season? If you're asking this, then you're missing out on ridiculously fun, geek filled weekend events and conventions. You can meet stars from your favorite movies and TV shows, get autographs, get your pictures taken with them and generally meet a ton of fun people who love the same things you do. And you can buy t-shirts! You can buy LOTS of t-shirts.

With that said, we've got a lot really awesome schedule upcoming events! First up, we have Creation Entertainment's Salute to Supernatural event in Las Vegas March 13 to 16. We love, love doing Creation events and always have such a great time with the Creation team and all of the really wonderful fans. We're debuting our new Sherlock inspired One Less Bore tees at this con too!

Ahhhh the BOYS

Less than two weeks later, we'll be Emerald City Comicon again at the Washington State Convention Center March 28 to 30! This is our second year at the PNW's biggest pop culture event and we are looking forward to a great show!

In April, we'll be making our second appearance at C2E2 in Chicago April 25 to 27! We loved this show last year. The show floor has such a great vibe and we're excited to be there again.

We'll be adding several shows to the schedule, so be sure to follow us here, on Twitter and Facebook for the latest updates, new releases and sales. See you at the cons!

Salute to Supernatural Chicon!

WOW! What a great time we had at Creation Entertainment's Salute to Supernatural Chicago convention. Truly, Creation puts on one of the most intimate and personal fan experiences out there. Not only did we have a great time, but we sold a lot of shirts and merch and met some great new people too. Below is my video diary of the event. I can't wait until the next show!

Wizard World Ohio Comic Con!

We'll be vending at our first Wizard World Comic Con this weekend! We're really excited to start out with Wizard World Ohio because last fall we heard so many great things about this show. We've got three new designs to showcase, two of them are not yet available on our website so they are exclusive to the show. Our new Big Bang Theory shirt, One Less Insufficiently Intelligent Person, is fully stocked and ready to go for the season premiere on Tuesday right after the comic con. We've also got a few additional fun things that you can't find on the site like Don't Blink bracelets and Dalek lanyards. Stop by booth #515 and see us!

The blast that was Gen Con

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!
