Atlanta Comics Expo

[pkveronese]

I'm going. I kind of agree - I wish it wasn't downtown. We went ahead and got a room at the con hotel though, so that should be fun.

[Jacey]

Been discussing this with finecomics, very curious to see how it does. I'm planning to go, mostly want to see about some sketches.

[finecomics]

Last minute decision, but I guess I will be setting up after all. Might as well, since its in my own city, right?

I didn't realize there was only 56 or so booths. Several guys are taking 2+ and about 10 don't even sell comics, so I think even w/ a weak crowd there should be enough $$$ in the room to justify a little extra for tables. Not to mention that this will take away 1 of our regular 1 day shows.

 

Plus I'm just going to bring 50 boxes of hot bronze books and blow them out at $1 each

 

What's your booth number?

They told me I got the last booth. Either 112 or 116. Its probably all the way in the back in the loading dock.

 

Let me know if you want any junk boxes. I just picked up 300+ boxes of light silver, heavy bronze and copper. I'm offering up junk and stuff I have heavy dupes of first. I can deliver to the show.

What are you thinking about? 1/2 of those could have been yours They are HOTTTTTTTTTTT. I will never have to buy another comic for at least 2 years Are you coming down in May? I haven't even started looking at this stuff yet and now I may have to go to Portugal for work. I'm hoping I don't have to go

depends on how the launch of the new company website goes. probably, although at this point i'm thinking it's like 65%

[pkveronese]

Just a few more days...

[pkveronese]

Dave Johnson will be there...he very rarely does shows.

[pkveronese]

Anybody else going? I'm really wondering what the attendance will be like for this show. Has it been advertised much in the ATL?

[Jacey]

I'll be there, my friend Scott is excited to meet Tara McPherson and get a sketch (even emailed her), and I'm getting a sketch for Solar from her as well.

 

Hope it will be well attended, no idea how well it's been advertised. Spoke to Chuck at Titan Comics in College Park, he just shrugged when I asked him how well I thought this would do.

 

Looked at the site today and didn't see Dave Johnson listed. Drats.

[camera73]

Dragon Con's *spoon* poor practices - such as their patented 3-hour ticket line - could wreck ACE if they get carried over. Hopefully the attitudes that make DC a bad show won't taint this one.

 

 

Also, the dealers' floor sounds like its going to be a little sparse. Shopping for back issues is the only reason I'm going - not for classes on Origami. So, if it seems like they gave low priority to comic sales -again, like at DC - then I won't be going back.

 

That being said, I wish much luck the the sellers who will be setting up.

[pkveronese]

This show isn't bad. Its not really big, but it has a pretty decent supply of quality dealers.

 

 

The people at DragonCon did a wonderful job with the ticket situation, but part of the ease was probably due to a low turnout.

[Jacey]

Low turnout early. Most of the same dealers are the same at the Marriott shows Wes Tillander runs, no real notables from out of town.

 

Dave Johnson and Craig Hamilton no shows, really annoying. Rosario Dawson announced as being delayed out of LA so not available at today's show. Tara McPherson = attractive. David Mack = awesome.

 

No real reason to go back today, as far as just comics go, I get in for a buck at Wes's shows and have easy parking. This was $10 for one day and took the MARTA cause Atlanta parking is a pain.
