Long Beach Comic Con Just Friday. Will we see you there?
on October 2, 2009, 2:38 am
Long Beach Comic Con is a week away. Next Friday’s (October 2-4) Jonelle and I will be at the inaugural Long Beach Comic Con at Artists Alley table number 60 right next to our friends Art of Laurie B. We are very much looking forward to seeing how much fun the convention is and hoping to meet any one reading the website now and meeting new readers. We will also have our Geekdom Wear shirts for sale, and we do process credit cards so you can spend your “con cash” elsewhere and still walk away with a nifty cool shirt. I will also be available for sketches for those interested. Maps to find us below, and come back Monday for another post of what we’ll have for you at Long Beach Comic Con.
Friends around the convention.
Almost tied with the fun of meeting new people on the opposite side of the table is seeing other vendors. Whether it be making new friends or seeing old ones a comic book convention is a time to hang out with people you probably haven’t seen since, well, last convention. Again more on Long Beach on Monday, but here is a quick run through of friends that I can’t suggest enough to check out after you’ve stopped by TomatoTV.net / Geekdom Wear.com’s booth (#60)
- Art of Laurie B (Artists Alley #60) Laurie’s does some amazing cute styled stuff. I always buy her sketchbooks and at least one print.
- Kirby Krackle Band (Booth #450 up near entrance) – Not only the first band for the comic book & geek community, but they also happen to be good. They will also be performing free (with a LBCC badge) on one of the nights of the convention, as well as having an exclusive song to give away commissioned exclusively for Long Beach.
- Tom Hodges (Artists Alley #51) He’s got a great style and does some amazing work for Lucas Film. I’ve got a sketch of his hanging in my studio and your sketch collection is missing one if you don’t have one of his.
- Wacom (Booth #248 up near entrance) If you are a professional artist or even hobbyist with artwork you probably own some kind of Wacom. Also if you are even thinking of getting a Cintiq 12 or 21 inch, it’s a must to stop by the booth to try it out before you buy your second biggest investment next to the car you’re driving.
- Write Brothers (Booth #152 up near entrance). If you write for any kind of story I can’t suggest their software enough. Besides great customer service and great at answering questions the writing programs really do make writing easier.
Sorry for lack of links, but these were quick add on to this post. Check us out if you are Long Beach Comic Con!
