It was a good, well run, entertaining convention. We had a wonderful location right across from one of the food concessions. We had two tables and we tried spreading Sue's art prints out on the table. It worked well. Having the prints out that way drew people to the images. The new badges and mouse pads moved well.
Since it was a comic convention we put the DS in a small space. We had the samples book for the card set and we kept the sets themselves behind the table. That also worked very well. What I need to add is a pad of paper people can use to write down what they are looking for. I should check into getting some DS scratch pads done to use at the table and sell. The DS sales were better than we expected. We may even have picked up a couple of new players for the game. Looking good for sales.
We drove the hour to the con from home so not only did we do well we kept expenses to a minimum.
The convention had a large number of Movie, TV and Comic guests (one of whom was Susan Van Camp). The dealers leaned heavily to comics of all sorts. There was also a couple of Anime DVD dealers. A great con for Autograph Collecting. It also had a good number of independent artists with their Independent Comics. Many were doing pen and ink commissions as well. Some really good people at this one.
For Sue and I it is a chance to see people we worked with in comics many years ago.
From a gaming point of view the con is not too good. There was only one game dealer and the entire gaming available was a Magic tournament. So as a gamer the show was poor, but, well, a show can't have everything right.
Looking at this I seem to have written a disorganized review blog. Guess I am just going to have to practice.
Next weekend we will be at AnCon so I will get a chance to practice more.
