Gygo At Buffalo con 2012

 Wow i was just looking through October blogs and can't believe i haven't blogged about the Buffalo con yet. It was held at the Buffalo Marriott hotel on October 7th. We've been going to this convention since 2001. As a matter of fact the first time we went was the day after Kath and I got married. This year we were going to promote get your geek on. We had a booth and everything.





 We had been in contact with a really nice man named Emil who runs a cool comic book store in Buffalo called Queen city books.He gave us a discount on our table. Right from the get go i felt comfortable. He was willing to work with us and i felt welcome. It didn't feel like i had to jump through hoops like our experience at Fan Expo and The Niagara Falls con. As a matter of fact after we had set  up helpers from the con came by and asked us if we were ok and if we needed anything. I thought it was great. It was the little things that made me happy. For example there was a place holder  card at our table that  just said Get Your Geek On-guest. We were the only people at the niagara falls comic con in 2011 that didnt have a card. I felt really welcome. I would work with these guys again in a heartbeat. This year they really expanded. They had another room opened up and  their own artists alley. They even had their first costume contest. Everyone was so nice. A really great experience. Thanks to Emil and his staff for a great experience. Thank you to Kath for going all out on the table and thanks to Ryan who designed our  new  business cards and designs for our website.
