Howdy folks. With C2E2 nigh unto two weeks away, we figured it’d be a good time to revisit some of the wisdome we’ve gathered over our years of attending various and sundry cons. So without further ado, here ye be…
This week, in our last (until I think of something else to say about cons, and given I’ve already written over 6800 words on the subject, I’m thinking that may be awhile) episode of The Official Ultimate Pullbox Guide to Conning, we’ll take a look at a rather timely topic (as I know many of you are starting to stake out your digs for C2E2): finding good deals on lodging.
Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen! In this week’s episode, my fine feathered friends, we’ll examine the delightful art of autograph-seeking at the con. Whether it’s that one celebrity you need to complete your Serenity cast poster (looking at you—eventually—Morena Baccarin!), your fave artist in the Alley, or maybe even […]
Well, that’s another Con in the can, and I’ve got some thoughts… First of all, the ‘Box’s co-founder Eric was my wingman this year, and we both had a pretty good time taking in the sights and meeting awesome people.

So, after spending the whole day yesterday (Friday) wandering around- mainly in Artist Alley where I could easily spend the whole weekend- I figured I’d put out some love for this great event. I’ll lead by pointing out that I’m only able to make it for one day this year. Rather than being all surly […]
This weekend, 02-16-2019, I was fortunate enough to have some time to kill and cash to spend. To take advantage of these fortunate circumstances, I set out to the Wisconsin State Fair grounds to attend Mighty Con Milwaukee. Lemme tell ya, it was time well spent. The cash… well, we’ll see about that. For now, […]
Robert Wilson IV, artist on Heartthrob from Oni Press, Bitch Planet from Image, co- Knuckleheads from Monkeybrain Comics, and artist on the 2013 Kickstarter book Like a Virus sat down with Susan Lundberg early in the C2E2 con day Saturday April 7, 2018, to talk about his art career. The Pullbox: I’d met your co-creator […]

I really wasn’t sure what to expect driving into Milwaukee on Saturday morning. Was Mighty Con: Milwaukee going to just a few vendor tables and some select local artists? Were the attendees going to be all the grizzled nerds with their pull carts stack with long boxes complaining about the teen cosplayers getting in his […]
