Comic-Con09 recap

Well the New York Comic-con has come and gone again, all the preparation, the stress, the drama, the behind the scenes last minute shuffling finally all over, whew,,,,time to start getting ready for it all again next year. The show was a major success by all accounts, it was the second for us as a company and with each passing year we step it up a notch. Last year we had a six ft table which we shared, this year we did it a little better and managed to lock down a booth. The booth and the accomplishment of actually lockin' it down was a feat, that while being a symbolic representation of our lil ole company moving up, was not reached without many obstacles to over come. First of all there were many phone calls made missed and returned, messages via email, a lot of going back and forth. Many, many arguments amongst ourselves, and of course, the economy had to throw its wrench at us. At one time even after having been told the booth would be ours it was allegedly up for bidding,,,going to whoever had the money first. With all this we managed to stay focused, our goal being getting in and selling out. We enlisted the aid of some indie friends, Skygraphx (their tees are hot), and Darkvision comics, ( you guys are awesome), and getting in with a booth secured became a reality. Once we were in we did what we set out to do ,,,we sold out. Personally it was a great achievement for myself, I work full time I have a family, and at times I feel I spread myself way too thin, but all the positivity and great feedback from the public made it all worth while. Jon and Jorge I just want to say thank you for reaching out to me and letting me be a part of all this you guys did an awesome job setting up, you both did an amazing job as salesmen and lets keep on doing it,,,,Cant wait for next year,,,also I want to thank the guys sharing the booth with us, lets do it again next year, and to all who support us and our movements thanx a billion,,,,good bye,,,and God bless,,,,,,
