Convention Review: C2E2 2011

Sorry it’s a little late (I was updating blogs about making comics, fer goodness sake), but finally here’s the entry about C2E2.

THURSDAY:
After a long hard day at the office, I headed home to meet my friends at the apartment. As always I provided dinner for the guests, and had a great assortment of friends: Joe Dun and Phil Chan (www.digitalpimponline.com), Russell Lissau (Batman Strikes, Shrek), Steve Wallace (Binary Love), and Alan Evans (www.rivalangels.com). After a long night of catching up and hanging out, we all went to bed to get ready for the long weekend ahead.

FRIDAY
Steve and I had to run to the post office to get some items that had been shipped but not delivered. We didn’t have any problems getting them – but the post office was in the other direction from the show. However, only a little bit after the show started, we arrived and started to set up the table. Professional hours were from 10am-1pm, and so it was a good chance to walk around and say hi to familiar faces, meet some new creators, and chat with editors. However, after the pro hours ended it was time to sell.

And sell we did.

Junkyard Chase sold very well, especially when paired with Reading with Pictures. Steve and I were table mates and had a great time. Positioned in the same isle as many of the top DC all-ages creators, so there were plenty of people who liked what we had to buy. The new banner made it’s premiere and met with positive response.

After a strong day of sales the group went out to one of my favorite sushi restaurants in town, called Niu. Everyone had a great time, and after we went back to my place for much needed rest.

SATURDAY
An early morning and a strong sales day. Steve and I were on fire all day, and with only a few Reading with Pictures panels to keep me away from the table, most of it was able to be spent meeting and mingling with friends and fans. As a bonus, my girlfriend Beth was in attendance and she got to tour the show with some of her friends, and eventually even hung out at the table with Steve and I.

After another long day at the show, the group went out to a local burger joint in my neighborhood, and then went back to my place to hang out and enjoy our last night of the weekend.

SUNDAY
Sunday morning we all went to a local breakfast hub, and then headed off to the show. It was kind of a slow day for me sales wise, but still a fun time. Eventually everyone left the show, Alan being kind enough to take Phil and Joe to the airport. All in all it was a great weekend, spent with amazing friends. Looking forward to the next show.

More @$$hole! and Temple

Posted In: web comics

The comics have been updating on time, I’ve just been swamped playing host to the greatest group of friends in the world. This past weekend was C2E2, and I had Russell Lissau, Joe Dunn, Phil Chan, Steve Wallace, and the brother’s Heinowski staying with me for the event. It was a fun time, and great to get to hang out with my comic friends.

And entire weekend of geeking out with your best buds is fantastic…but also exhausting.

I plan to do a convention review soon (once I finish compiling pictures from everyone), so be on the look out. In the meantime, be sure to check out last week’s @$$hole! pages as well as today’s Temple page.

Later!

@$$hole! and Temple and laptops, oh my!

April 12th, 2010 | by Trevor
Posted In: conventions, web comics

So a lot’s been going on in my world lately, and sadly I’m not able to get into details on many of the items, but there’s good news and bad news.

The bad news is that I find myself back in the job pool, hunting for work and finding an agency where my skills and experience can be utilized to their fullest. Unfortunately I can’t get into further details on this (and those who know me know that I love to rant), but for now I try to see this as a blessing in disguise. Namely, because I may have time to start reviewing movies and games again.

The good news is that I went out and bought a new laptop. Since the computer that I had been using was a work laptop (and a Mac at that, which kept crashing any Microsoft programs that I had to run every day), upon trying to turn on my old personal laptop I came to the conclusion that it was just too old and too slow for the purposes that I needed it.

The new device is father sleek, fast, and efficient. In fact, it’s technically better than my desktop computer – which is 7+ years old and I never sign it on the internet anymore. Mostly because if I ever did, it would shut down and never work again. There’s just not enough space on it for any more Windows updates, and since it’s not going online it doesn’t really need any updates.

So last week Friday another @$$hole! uploaded, continuing the adventure of Carl trying to stop the evil Michael Eisner. And today a new Temple story went live, where we see Seymour (who we know is not a fighter) getting into a scrape with some Bishops in the Capital City market streets.

This week I’m prepping for C2E2, and I’ll talk a bit more later this week about my convention exclusive print (to promote my story in the upcoming Reading with Pictures anthology), as well as my signings and panel schedule. Then next month I’ll be a guest of honor at ACEN, which is one of the most fun shows that I go to every year! Gonna be a blast!
