Fresh From San Diego!

Hello all! Ok so I flew in from the biggest comic con in all the land (the US of A) a couple of days ago, and as always it never disappoints! Although I was flying solo on this trip to San Diego (my fellow MASadonians had to take care of bitness here on the east coast!) I was happy with the outcome.

The San Diego Comic Con was celebrating forty years! FORTY YEARS! And it was awesome! It's amazing how much the con has grown in that time. I've been fortunate to attend the show for three years and in that short time I was amazed to see how much it's grown! The convention center in downtown San Diego can hardly accommodate it. In fact, rumors were flying around the convention that they might (A.) expand the convention center or (B.) move the convention elsewhere: Los Angeles was one place rumored to be host as well as Vegas. Vegas sounds great right? NEGATIVE! It gets Africa hot in Vegas in July! No bueno! The weather in San Diego is ideal in July, especially when you have to stand on line waiting to get into the place. Could you imagine standing in 110 + weather in the blazing desert sun waiting to get into a place where it gets so packed with people that some days it seemed like the air conditioning in the building wasn't strong enough? No sir!!

But anyway, the show was a success for us little guys, although I learned a very valuable lesson as a first time exhibitor. What was that lesson? STAND OUT! There are so many talented folks out there with displays that will make you say "WOW!" You have to go out there with a great set up for your table other wise you just get lost in the shuffle! Nevertheless, it was a very motivational experience for me, especially since even though my display was limited (to say the least) I was able to just about sell out of Street Journal #1 books and made a lot of good contacts. People were happy to pick up the book and find they could relate with the plight of the main character. It was awesome to hear them say, "keep up the great work!" and "stay motivated, this sounds like a great story!" And so I wanna thank everyone at the show who picked up the first book of Street Journal! Please stop by the about us section of the site and email us telling us what you thought of the book. Positive or negative all criticism is appreciated!

Well guys, I'm off! But before I bounce up out of here I just wanna send a shout out (what is this Video Music Box with Ralph McDaniels? Hahaha! My thirty year old hip hop heads know what I'm talking about...anyway) to Mr. Samuel Vera with whom I shared the table at the con. Yo, this kid had a flying saucer and an alien coming out of the toilet on his side of the table! Hahaha! It's all about the set up! Also I wanted to say what's up to Mr. David Montoya and Mr. Jose Calderon and Ms. Daphne Lage! It was a great show can't wait till next year!

Well, thank you for stopping by and stay tuned for new developments. We are back in the lab working hard trying to get more product out! See you soon!
Medinamus!
