Wizard World Cleveland
On a very cold, snowy day in February, MyGeekery traveled just a few hours north to Cleveland, Ohio for the inaugural Wizard World Cleveland Comic Con held on February 20-22, 2015. This was our first trip to Cleveland, and it certainly didn't disappoint. By opening on Friday temperatures were below freezing...but that didn't stop the die-hard fans in Cleveland! Three-day passes were already sold out and the lines were huge! And again on Saturday, even with the few inches of fresh snowfall, there were long lines waiting to invade the show floor. We were blown away.
Since we were pressed for time and printing like madmen, we decided to take a lot of the same stock to Cleveland that we had turned out for Indianapolis the week before, with one exception: we printed a whole new collection of vinyl decals. We're glad we did; people really seemed to enjoy them, especially the Dragonball Z and Mass Effecgt ones. And we sold out of nearly every wall art design we took!
And no wonder...WW Cleveland also set a record for attendance at an inaugural Wizard World Show. Great Job Cleveland...we'll definitely be back in 2016!
Wizard World Indianapolis
Wizard World Indianapolis started on Friday the 13th of March.
Though not for that reason, we decided to switch up our layout and our inventory for the weekend. We print a good deal more than just t-shirts, but we find most people we meet at conventions are actually surprised to hear that we also make vinyl decals, posters and walls arts, and sell indie books and (occasionally) handmade accessories. So, for this con, we decided to pack some of our favorite wall arts and a mix of vinyl decals. We've been to a lot of WW cons now, and usually go for a corner booth. But in the spirit of mixing things up, this time, we went with a linear space.
It was different, but visitors to our booth seemed to enjoy that we actually had space for our decals and wall arts. You could see their creative wheels spinning as they tried to decide where they were going to put their new Gotham wall art, or their Fellowship one. The downside to bringing different stock was that we had to cut back on a few of our t-shirt designs...but overall, it was a fun change. As long as people leave the booth happy...we're happy!
The weekend was full of shenanigans per Wizard World usual. There were Quidditch tournaments and demos with a few local teams...and Michael Rooker (The Walking Dead, Guardians of the Galaxy) even jumped in on Saturday afternoon's game and was the snitch of the century. A few of the girls from The Sisters Mischief stopped by in their cosplays, and tons of POP! vinyl figures were had by all.
All in all, another fun weekend down.
