Goats Fall Tour 2003

in Community by jon

Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 09:22 AM

We're going to be attending a handful of events in the next few weeks as the temperatures cool and the leaves turn. Here's the lowdown:
  • Big Apple Anime Fest
    New York City, New York :: August 29-31
    Yeah, I know we're not anime, but they asked us nicely when we met them at MoCCA, so we're going. We'll be there fer sure on Friday and Saturday, and Phillip may or may not put in a solo appearance on Sunday. Supposedly I'll be speaking on a panel or two, possibly with some of the other Dumbrella folks, but I haven't got any details on that yet.
    UPDATE: The webcomics panel was scheduled for Sunday, when I won't be there, so I won't be speaking on it. Sorry!
  • SPX
    Bethesda, Maryland :: September 5-7
    This'll be our first time at SPX; last year was pre-empted by holidays, but we seem to have made it off the waitlist and onto our very own table (or near it, anyway). I know a handful of hardcore Goats readers are going to be attending, so we're going to try and do some sort of beer-related outing. A Bethesda-based Pub Night, if you will.
    UPDATE: The Goats Bethesda Pub Night will be at the Rock Bottom Brewery on Saturday, Sept. 6th at 8:30pm. See you there!
  • Las Vega$ Comic-Con
    Sin City, Nevada :: October 31-November 2
    Just about all of Dumbrella will be at this one. Halloween in Vegas. Wow. Can it get any freakier?
So there you go. If you're in one of the formentioned neighborhoods, please come by and say hello. And if you haven't pre-ordered your Phobos or Self-Centered Universe Super-Advance T-Shirts yet, please do so, as it'll help us offset the travel costs and such. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I'm jumping the gun, but you guys should come to the con in Seattle. I think it's in the spring, but we're special, so plan ahead!

I know there is one, I remember seeing posters about a seattle con last year. I tried searching for it online, and found close to nothing. Nothing useful anyways. I was hoping with all your friends when it came around you would hear. I know Penny Arcade went last year.

So I'm pretty much useless concerning info. =)

Do you mean SakuraCon [sakuracon.org]?

On a related note, UberCon [ubercon.com] is this October, and is in your backyard [ichotelsgroup.com].

Yeah, we did that one last time and it was highly disappointing. About a tenth of the people we were told were going to be there showed up. If they cover our costs, I'd consider going again, but I'm not going to give them any more money.

Well, Jon you have at least two fans in the area of this comic con. Did Batjew get a job in Vancouver? Then you'd have at least three! It's settled, pub night in Seattle in February.

That would be great! And I know other Goats readers who would be there for a pub night in Seattle.

Or Jon could just keep the con-going down to 3 events, and use that extra time for Patent Pending/Ask The Animals/extra features/having a life/so on.

I guess I was really leaving that option up to Jon to decided. We ask, he says no, everyone is happy. But at least he knows we would love to have him come visit.

Bethesda is home to my favorite burrito place, California Tortilla.

Actually, there are a few of them, but the first one I ever went to is located in Bethesda.

I've already expressed my disappointment that you will not be at ubercon this time around. however...I don't like the way they treat their vendors. I used to talk to the owner of my local gaming store all the time. He told me how they charged too much money and only invited him(the only real gaming store in the area as far as I know of)to get a table the day before the convention started. And they puts Goats in the corner last time. You had to really be looking for them to find them. Luckily I happened to be bored enough to look around and got a handout of comics from them...i still have that next to my computer. dont tell the ubercon people i said any of these bad things.
