Las Vegas Amazing Comic Con!
We had a great time in Vegas this last past weekend at Amazing Comic Con! Chipp and I arrived in town around 10pm Thursday night. Checked into our room at The 4 Queens Casino, popped open some beers and hit Downtown Fremont St. We walked around checking out all the cool street performers and did a little bit of gambling. It was Chipp's first time in Vegas and Lady Luck was showing him a good time! Me on the other hand, not so much... We made our way to a cool bar I like to visit whenever I'm in town called Insert Coin, a video arcade themed bar! After a few matches of Street Fighter and a couple levels in X-Men, Chipp and I headed back out to walk around some more. We found ourselves at the Golden Nugget Casino Lounge, enjoying a sweet cover band and a beer. After a few songs we decided to call it a night and head back to the room for some sleep.
Friday was the first day of the Con! Unfortunately, we couldn't get a booth that weekend, but Chipp and I were there to meet other comic book creators, artist, writers, publishers, and enthusiasts. We did some good networking, handed stickers and flyers out to anyone who seemed interested in our message. We took a time out to watch "Cosplay Family Feud" which was very entertaining! The Cosplayers were awesome! After a long first day we decided to get a little rest and hung out in the room for a while, but those Vegas lights were getting to us, so we decided to check out the town. After a few hours of Chipp winning and me losing, we called it a night!
Saturday was FUN! Chipp and I got to the Con early that day, made the rounds and talked to a lot of awesome people. The cast of Evil Dead the Musical was hanging at the Con, and some of the cast members told us we had cool shirts, (Official Superstoner Shirts Available Online) gave us some buy one get one free passes for the show, and told us to be heavily medicated when we came. We said Hell Yeah! I'm a big fan of The Evil Dead movies and Army of Darkness, and this musical did not let us down! Hilarious and I highly recommend making it part of your Vegas Trip! Someone at the Con informed us about some sort of Marijuana Rally near the MGM Casino, so Chipp and I left the Con early to check it out... Turns out it was not a Marijuana Rally, but instead it was a gathering of people getting ready to go to EDC, which is also cool! We decided it would be better to try passing out stickers and flyers later on that evening after the Evil Dead show, maybe catching the EDC goers on their way home. We hit The Strip early, walked around with my Superstoner Joint! Which is a big prop joint I made with an e-cig inside so I can blow out smoke and catch peoples attention. We talked with a few people and gave out some stickers, then we went to the Evil Dead Show. Again, the show was awesome! Must See! After the show we walked down the strip giving out more stickers and flyers making our way to the MGM and where we thought the EDC festivities would be... To our surprise we found out the MGM is just where everyone meets, then people are bused to where the event was being held. By the time we got back to our room it was near 4am.
Sunday was spending spree day! After 2 days of checking out the booths and talking with all the different comic creators and vendors, Chipp and I made our last rounds at the Con, buying and supporting all the cool artist and writers we met. We bought lots of cool comics and art prints, and Chipp met another cool tattoo artist and bought a sweet hand made tattoo machine from him. We went around booth to booth saying bye to all the cool people we met that weekend, wishing them luck and telling them we will be looking forward to seeing them again at future cons. Maybe next time we meet, we will have an awesome booth of our own!
In conclusion I have to say, I love Vegas! And I can't wait til next years Con!
