WinterCon 2014: comic books and gambling fun

Greetings and salutations, The outrageous fortune of 2014 comes to a close, the convention season is in the wind down, but we will be at WinterCon 2014 in Queens, NY on December 6th with fun comic books and more to sling as some of you can go a' gambling. That's right. It's at the Resorts World Casino http://nywintercon.com

Beyond just comic books, but that's enough for us, there will be cosplay by the likes of Yaya Han and Jennifer Rose. Nut if you're just in it for the comics, there are some fantastic guests besides us: Neal Adams http://www.nealadams.com/ , Frank Tieri https://twitter.com/franktieri , Billy Tucci, Herb trimpe, Bob Camp and Jim Salicrup to name but a few.

If you need any tips on attending comic book conventions, we got wrote a list on how to survive

So come for the comic books and head to the slots and blackjack tables when you feet get weary. You never know what luck may fall upon you but we'd feel quite lucky if you happened to stop our table.

Here's some items we'll have with us:

Hope you come down and see us. Check the convention's website for information on free shuttles from Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Be safe and have fun.

Comics and Charity at the Hartford Public Library

Who says con season is over? We’ll be spending this Saturday, November 22 at the Hartford Public Library as they bring together comic book creators, artists and writers in a spectacular event.  The happening runs from 11AM to 3PM. It is all part of NaNoWriMo ComBo Fest and the One Book Event that is celebrating the Graphic Novel.

And the best part? A large portion of the proceeds go to the library! By stopping by and picking up artwork and comics, you aren’t just helping budding artists, you are funding reading programs, classes and the other good work the library does for the Hartford community.

You can see more and let us know if you are coming on our Facebook Event Page. Hope we see you there!

It's Movember

It's that time of the year, where everything is just a bit more...hairy? Yes true believers, it's Movember, the time of year where dudes try to grow silly looking mustaches in an effort to get attention for men's health and cancer research. This time around, I'll be throwing my stache into the fire, along with my buddies (or Mo Bros, as we're being asked to call them) to get some cash for the Movember Foundation.

Join me, Geek Cast Rob Bass, Yesh and Oscar Smith, as we form Team Moltron. Together we'll fight the forces of evil, while sporting some wicked awesome mustaches.
