Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

Who’s going to Retrocon this weekend?

Who’s going to Retrocon this weekend in Philadelphia? If you are planning on attending and take along a camera that can take decent photos, I want to hear from you! My plan is to devote a two-page spread to the event in the premiere issue of Cool & Collected Magazine. In exchange for your photos, I can offer you my unending gratitude, full credit in the magazine, and a virtual high-five. (I’m working on a shoestring budget, sorry.)

If you think you can help me out, drop me an email. Thanks!

    I will be there. I know Rose and Tony personally (the show organizers) and will be happy to snap a ton of pictures for you. Did you see the commercial I created for the show? http://youtu.be/EerhFVshvDU

      That video you made is awesome, and the voices were great too!

      I was hoping to make the trip for the show since I know a lot of people who will be there, and it looks like my kind of event, but the stars didn’t align as I had hoped. If you can get me some photos of the event, that would be awesome. Thanks so much!

    I went! I didn’t take any photos however. It was a great event. I actually enjoyed it a million times more than Wizard World Philly. Tons of vendors, tons of costumes, and an overall great experience. I’ll definitely go back next year 🙂

      Excellent! It sounds like you all had a great time. I was lurking on your twitter feeds all day yesterday, wishing I was there. 😉

    I really only go to Wizard World Philly because I cover it as Press and I get a ton of ad revenue from ad clicks. I actually enjoyed RetroCon, smaller more friendly atmosphere. Got to meet a few Interweb buddies face to face and Larry Hama was there too! I really like to see how the show will grow in the coming years.
