Lily checks out AMKE 2020!
Hey there true believers… hmmm… okay I’m know that’s a stolen opening but what can I tell you? I’ve been a life-long Marvel zombie and I’m super pumped it’s C2E2 this week! The Pullbox will do it’s best to celebrate the creators while we are on site. But why wait to celebrate? This week The […]
In this week’s episode, my fine and faithful 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 those Critical Role cats for your first-edition DMG, signings are a major feature of most larger cons. Now you’d think there really shouldn’t ought to be a ton of planning or strategy involved here: stand in line, enjoy the 7.8 seconds of contact, re-bag book, rinse, repeat—but, oh, my lovely little neophytes, you’d be so, so wrong.
The Pullbox’s own Lily was live at Anime Milwaukee as the adventure unfolded. Check out the pics here… and watch for her write up coming soon!
If you’re like me, one of the great appeals of the con is the opportunity to shop the vendor floors and exhibit halls. Among so many other glorious things, a comicon (or gaming con, or sportscard convention) is a unique opportunity to shop among a huge variety of collectibles vendors on the same show floor, which often presents the chance to find that special item, that one variant issue or mint-on-card figure that’s eluded you as you’ve scoured the comic shops and toy stores of your home town. And, it’s a chance to find some serious bargains.
With less than two weeks to C2E2 (!!!), we return for episode two of the Pullbox’s Ultimate Guide to Conning. Read on for tips on planning the perfect con weekend!
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 […]
