    Anyone gonna have that 3rd Party Art Feather Bumblebee? I'd love to take a look at one up close. See if it's as snazzy as I hear.

    For those staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Valley Forge/Oaks, I'd like to have a fan meet up in the lobby Saturday evening around 7:30.. I'm working on a voice actors project and I'd like to get as many fans involved as possible..Lets show these voice talents how much we love them!


    _ _ _


    One last blast at my friends! Retro Con is this weekend and for those can make it, I look forward to seeing ya!

    Don't forget the Art Contest and Costume contest!!! You could win cool prizes and Retro Cash!

    For those new to the area here's the GPS Info:

    As the time for the show draws near, we wanted to give everyone a heads-up. We’ve been told that the Station Avenue address for the expo center doesn’t work with some GPS units/mobile apps. If this is the case with you, the expo center site recommends you use this address…

    1601 Egypt Road Phoenixville, PA 19460 (Upper Providence Township)

    It’s for the deli/pizzeria down the road. From there look for the signs for the expo center.

    Thanks for the great show

    The show was great. Thanks for putting it together. I only live a few minutes away and it was awesome to have a convention like this close by.

    Enjoyed the show even though I didn't get to see as much as I would've liked to due to having a dealer table. Along those lines, I was wondering where/when the Angry Nintendo Nerd was at the show. Otherwise it was fun talking to the artists and people that stopped by my table. Sorry I didn't have enough Sideswipes for everybody who asked. Lots more cosplayers than I expected and some fairly unique characters too (Mandora the Evil Chaser from Thundercats?). The remote control droid running around was neat too. Only thing that sucked was the surprise wifi fee. Definitely looking forward to the next one!

    Awesome show today! Found a lot of goodies, and had a great time seeing all the cosplay that people came in including She-Ra, Ghostbusters, Power Rangers, Transformers, Star Wars, G.I Joe, and a variety of D.C. and Marvel Super Heroes and much more! Was cool seeing the Thundercats voice actors together. The DJ who was playing all kinds of 80's tunes and remixes was great. The Back to the Future DeLorean was cool too! Hope to be back at this show next year! I would like to personally thank the organizers who setup this show and made it possible. Loved seeing all the giveaways that were created as well. A lot of time, creativity and work went into this event and it showed.

    We had a great show for our first time out with over 625+ in convention attendees, that's not including the guests or dealers!

    So we're for sure planning another next year.. But I did have to say to all of our friends. We can't thank you enough..for all your support and help throughout this whole ordeal. You helped make this a great show! Hopefully it'll only get better!

    GREAT con! I had two of my friends with me and we all had a BLAST! I bought more than my share, also. Looking forward to next year's show.

    Screamer: I'd like to pick your brain when you have a chance about what it takes to organize a show.
