Megacon 2012 wrap-up

Megacon 2012 wrapped up on Sunday and I had a terrific time.

This year, I decided to try my hand at selling pop-culture based PC Weenies prints. That decision turned out to be a good one, because the prints were a runaway hit! Here are just a few photos I took at Megacon. The runaway favorite among con attendees was the “Trek or Trek not, there is no Trekkie” print.

I had several folks who’d bought Rebootus Maximus and Sampler #1 and #2 stop by asking me if I had new books. Alas, I did not – but rest assured, I’m working on getting new books available for sale, once they are ready to go. (When the Book 2 is ready, expect a KickStarter campaign to raise funds for printing it.)

Making its debut at the show was my iPhone with Square reader. Although most people paid with cash, I did have a chance to field test the Square reader out – and it worked like a charm. The Square app on the iPhone makes a great receipt inventory tracker – I used it to monitor all credit and cash transactions with ease.

Although I didn’t get to wander around the show a whole lot, I made some time to meet up with talented dudes like Ryan Sohmer, Lar deSouza, Dean Trippe, Mike Maihack, Elliot Fernandez and Justin Peterson. There were plenty of incredible folks at the show I would have liked to have met, but tabling makes it tough to wander around.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Stephen Wittmaak and his wife Stephanie – they were super fun to hang out with during the show and were gracious enough to let me crash overnight with them at Stephanie’s uncle’s place. I couldn’t have asked for better table-mates!

Many Thanks to everyone who stopped by and hung out! Expect me at Megacon 2013.
