I’m new to cons. What do I do at the Con?
Well, that’s a great question we all-too-often forget to answer! A Comic Con is a great place to meet artists, writers, actors, creators, makers, and other geek professionals. These creators are people whose names you might have seen in a bookstore or whose faces you may remember from television, films, or the interwebs. We have panels (live interviews with Q&A sessions) where we interview some of our celebrity guests and you can ask them questions. You can get the guests to sign items, either ones they are selling or one you bring to them to sign (which will be free for the first item!). For creatives, there’s a whole slew of exciting workshops on Friday. We have a select group of amazing retailers offering everything from buttons and bath bombs to comics from the Golden Age to movie posters to toys to, well, everything! Not to mention that there are over 100 working artist studios at Lowe Mill, all open for you to visit! You won’t be bored, more likely you’ll find there’s a lot more to do than you can fit in a day. You’ll REALLY want to come both days, and we don’t say that just to make the extra five bucks. The show is designed to offer unique things each day and Lowe Mill A&E is HUGE… I mean REALLY BIG. At it’s full to the gills with the HCC and the regular Mill studios. For more information, check out our comprehensive Schedule of Events.
