Posting for Derek...

 

Just a quick reminder about our last show of 2017.  Going out in style with a huge show
and yet another packed and sold out dealers room!

This Sunday October 1, 2017 from 10 AM to 4 PM.
Admission is only $3 per person.  Held in the Presidential ballroom of the

Clarion Hotel and Conference Center
76 Industrial Highway (Route 291)
Essington, PA 19029

Located between exits 8 and 9A off of I-95.

Special guest cosplayer will be Sofia Sivans.  Were you aware she has an online presence with
more then 200,000 followers?  While I don't expect all 200,000 to show up I am anticipating an
higher upswing then our usual attendance figures.  Don't like crowds then show up in the afternoon
as there are still piles of merchandise to peruse and the first wave of fans are gone by 1 PM.
Ideal time for in depth box diving is between 1 to 4 PM.

Also very special guest artists will be Paris Cullins and Ron Wilson.  Paris is offering a 10%
discount if you pre-order a commission from him before the show.  He would like to get a jump
on things to not disappoint anyone.  He was very busy all day the last show.

If you would like anything from Ron then try to let me know by tonight and I will send on your e-mail requests.

I picked up a pile of The Comic Buyers Guide if anyone remembers that periodical.  Dating back
to 2000.  I did see old adverts for our show which reminded me I haven't raised the admission
price of $3 per person since then.  I don't anticipate me doing it either in the mean time.  Just
wanted to point out that I feel my show is one of the best values in the country for cons.

Besides our great guest list since this is our last show of the year then be prepared for possible
parking issues.  There is a lot behind the hotel for dealers which you can use if the main lot out
front fills up to capacity.

2018 has more comic book goodness in the works.  Our first show will be January 21 of that year.
Mark your calendars.  Then March 4th.  Trying to figure out an April date with our venue. If
nothing (meaning not a single weekend day ) is available then our show would be May 6th
as that so far is the only date they had open in the spring time.
