Con Air
It should pretty much go without saying that Conventions are the lifeblood of the small press self publisher. It's a great way to spread the word on your book, meet people both within and without the industry, and score a touch of working capital. My original plan this year was to attend WW:Chicago, SPACE, and the big dance, Comicon:San Diego. Unfortunately, after checking out the info for Comicon, I discovered that not only had I waited a bit too long to get the ball rolling (geez there's a mountain of paperwork involved just to sign up for Comicon...), but at the time I did not have the neccessary funds to secure a table. So, I made a business decision to postpone my trip to Comicon till next year.
I needed somewhere new to go. So after doing a little online research, I added to new Conventions to my list to replace the one. Below you will find the potential list of Comic Book Conventions that TORC Press will be attending this year. I say potential because the only one that is 100% confirmed is SPACE (in fact, head over to www.backporchcomics.com/space.htm to see me listed on the roster, baby). The other three I've either contacted and reserved a table, or I've mailed my check and crossed my fingers. Obviously, when I have 100% confirmation on any show I'll mention it on the ole blog here.
-SPACE (Small Press Alternative Comics Expo)- Aladdin Shrine Complex, Columbus, OH, May 13, 2006.
-Heroes Convention- Charlotte Convention Center, Charlotte, NC, June 30 - July 2, 2006.
-Wizard World: Chicago- Rosemont Convention Center, Rosemont, IL, August 4-6, 2006.
-Nashville Comic and Horror Festival- Nashville, TN, October 21-22, 2006.
It goes without saying that if you're a regular reader of this blog (all two or three of you), and you happen to be at one of these conventions, make sure to stop by the TORC Press Table, because we typically have lots of convention exclusive stuff, convention exclusive deals, and I generally think that we're a relatively friendly group of people to say "Hello" to as well.
