aardvark88 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Interesting. The Saturday Comic Swap seems to be in the Waterfall room at the hotel rather than Ubering to the beer factory. Should be lots of fun. Aarrow108 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the significant other go shopping across the street at South Coast Plaza while you spend the day shopping through aisles of comics. Minutes from John Wayne as well.

Popular Post shortboxed Posted September 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2022 Hey everyone, Gene from Shortboxed here. As Terry mentioned, we're helping produce this show - the best comics-only show IMHO You can expect the same experience as all the previous years, and it's in the same hotel as last time. We'll also be hosting a Preview Night comic swap on Sat Feb 4th from 5-8pm in the hotel after the dealers finish setting up. Even though the comic swap isn't in a brewery anymore, there will be a bar and we're still picking up the bar tab during the comic swap Tickets are officially available now: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cal-comic-con-2023-tickets-394110915357 That is the official and only link to purchase tickets to Cal Comic Con. A few important details to note: There are VERY limited hotel rooms available, even less double rooms. Once double rooms sell out, only single rooms will be available. If you only see single rooms left and want a double, you can book the single room and call the hotel to ask if they can switch it to a double if they have any available. This way you can still book under the convention rate. There are only 100 tickets available to Preview Night, and you must purchase a "Preview Night + Main Event" ticket to attend. We're limited by capacity, and with Preview Night attendees plus all the dealers and staff, we'll be around ~150 people. For context, last Preview Night had <100 people total and the brewery one before that had around ~75 people. If you want a table during Preview Night, please email me at gene@shortboxed.com - don't DM me. There are only a dozen or so tables left (about 30 total) and I'll be assigning them on a first come first serve basis and will keep a backup list in case people drop out. As with previous years, tables are half-size 3' table space, which can fit 3 short boxes side by side. It's not a full booth setup. Tables are $40. If any dealers here are interested in setting up at the Main Event on Sunday, unfortunately there aren't any dealer booths left - virtually every single dealer from previous years is returning, and Terry has a long waitlist. I'll continue to post more updates in this thread as we get closer to the show. So happy it's back! greggy, Aarrow108, Mmehdy and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
