Long Beach Comic Con Day 1: Day one of Long Beach Comic Con (referred to henceforth in this post as LBCC) was hard to really figure from a vendor’s point of view. As the convention was only from 3-7 PM it was a half-day and thus can’t be figured on as a regular first day basis. I can say though it was fun. There is always a concern of whom you’ll be stationed next to for the duration of the convention. Sometimes you meet new friends and other time you can get the jerkiest of pricks. San Diego Comic Con last year (2008) we were next to a prick and a half. He was apparently an artist with a (I’ll not name which) studio and was quite proud of that fact. This I only know because he told every one that came buy but never actually talked to me the entire 5 days there, . This year looks to be quite fun though. To our left are Kendrix and Laurie of “Art of Laurie B”, old friends that we’ve known in the convention circuit for several years. To our left is Joel Adams, whom Jonelle and I just met today but seems like a very nice guy. So in short se seem to be doing well on the cool neighbor factor this con. Apologies for the brief blog post but more detail when time permits Monday or so. One cool thing I did want to leave you with was a cool moment today for Jonelle and I. We got to meet Jeph Loeb that didn’t require long lines! Check back tomorrow for another update and do remember to stop by the booth to buy our Geekdom Wear shirts!
