After we were done with Mr. Lee, we headed out to work the floor on the last day we were gonna be there. We took lots of pictures, got some more video, and lined up a few more interviews. I ended up meeting some very nice people starting up their own brewery that had a table there for the first time. I ended up asking them if they wouldn’t mind giving us an interview and they were more than happy to oblige. I came back later with our cameraman, and ended up getting a nice chat out of the brewmaster. The video will eventually be loaded up here, but until it is, you can check these guys out HERE.
The day rounded out with the final panel we all went to, “How to become a Phoenix Comicon Panelist.” The irony being that our panelists never actually showed up, so some random people who had come to the panel decided to take over and be the panelists themselves. It was pretty much awesome.
Once all that craziness wrapped up, we parted way as Chris and I headed back home. All things considered, the entire weekend was a huge, colorful, totally out of this world kind of experience. I had survived my first real “Comicon” and walked away feeling excited and proud of everything we’d gotten done throughout the whole time in Phoenix. It was a unique look into nerd fandom at it’s most intense level, and it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. It’s hot, expensive, weird, and beautiful all at once. I recommend everyone go to one for at least one day, once in their lives, to see what happens when you let anyone and everyone let their nerd run wild. It’s like going to Las Vegas, it’s a wild ride you won’t soon forget, and just like the city of sin, it’s a great place to visit but you wouldn’t wanna live there.
Until next time friends, what happens at Comicon, clearly hasn’t stayed at Comicon.
