San Diego Comic Con-Day One

Our first day in San Diego was a busy one, to say the least. After arriving, getting set up in the hotel, doing the badge line dance and hauling our first couple of days worth of stock to the table to set up, it was enough to call things a full day. But wait, there was more! Preview night for 4 day badge holders began at 5:30  and ran till 9. Once the doors opened, it was a real “release the hounds” experience. Never saw so many people running with so much purpose, all the while dragging huge Warner Brothers bags from their shoulders. It took a while for people to filter down to our area, but once they did we made lots of new friends, enjoyed lots of laughter and pointing at our booth (that’s a good thing, right?) and sold quite a few things. After hearing stories that Preview Night was usually considered a “Lookie Lou” event, we were glad to see some wallets come out to air. Thursday will be the first big full day and we’re looking forward to letting the monkey business continue…

  1. Wish I could stop by. Sounds like a blast! I am not surprised to see you making lots of new fireinds and fans. Keep the Simian instantiy going!

  2. Wow! Monkey-ville for sure. Looks really spiffy. Banners are very cool and everything is set out nicely. Glad to hear that the Preview went well. Put on a happy face and network (you know, just be your creative self). Best of luck to both of you. I’m sure your hard work will pay off. And that Ramsey fellow is right-on… more photos please.

  3. yay! your booth looks RAD! this looks like so much fun, love the photos! hope your first full day is great and there are lots more wallets coming out! good luck, i’m thinking of y’all.

  4. Wow, I’m so glad you’re posting pictures and information. The booth looks fantastic! It’s great fun to keep up with what you two are doing out there. Steve and I are sending good thoughts.

  5. Yay, this is exactly what I wanted to see! The booth looks great (you, a little dazed). I’ll bet you’ll be exhausted after your first full day of conventioneering. I assume that’s your hotel room view overlooking the Maritime Museum – nice. Good luck, enjoy the show. More, more,more photos please.
