Knoxville AdventureCon

[pkveronese]

Has anybody here gone to this convention? Is there much comics-related stuff there?

[finecomics]

Chuck loved it last year, bought a whole bunch of stuff if I remember right. When is it?

[pkveronese]

Its June 23-25 (weekend before Heroes' Con). My wife has a wedding shower she has to be at in Middle Tennessee over that weekend, so I'll probably end up at the show .

actually just the 24`th and 25`th ---- and i couldnt believe that Chucky came last year -- there was a Big Apple show on the same date last year and chuck said he had a better feeling about coming down south--

 

and I`ll be set up this year -- are you setting up Jeff ?

[Karma23]

I'm curious about this too. I'm in nashville but if it's worth it i could make the drive

[Pirate]

it's packed with toy and autograph hounds. Comics on the other hand........

[Karma23]

ahhhhh, sounds like no reason to take that trip...Pirate, have you ever been to the great Escape in Bowling Green?

[Mike Bray]

There`s a good amount of comics there -- sure there will be many times more the next week in Charlotte but I enjoyed it last year -- Hey Pirate - would you say about 1/3 of the show was comics last year ?

[Karma23]

BigMike...you're from Nashville, too, eh? Is it worth the trip up to K'ville?

Not setting up. Was thinking about maybe buying some stuff acting like Chuck Jr., but I think its too close to Heroes for me. I've been working my off trying to get ready for that for last 3 months and still have tons to do.

 

Note-- Do not buy a 150 box store out and think you can sort stuff quickly. I am sick of comics right now.

This is a pretty cool shop. I stopped on the way back from Chicago last year.

of course Charlotte the next weekend would be your best bet comic wise-- but Knoxville is a great one day road trip to a "decently sized" show --

the show overall is 350+ tables-- promoter sez 500 but -- its a big setup and i would say @ least 100+ were primarely comic tables - so yes -- bigger than Atlanta and several of the guys from Wes`s show do set up last year i believe Wes , Cap. Comics , Marc Ballard , Chris Foss and probably a couple more were set up .. BigMike

[Darrell F]

Well if it is better than the Atlanta show I may have to drive up
