PRE-CON SHOWCASE &TRIBUTE MIXER Wednesday July 23,2008 at 6:00pm You're invited to party with us on Wednesday, July 23 from 6-9pm. It is a Pre-Comic-Con Showcase & Tribute Mixer, showcasing publishers, creators, artists, etc. This is a chance for fans to interact in a fun organized environment before the overpowering juggernaut setting of Comic-Con. Basically, the Comic-Con experience has become such an International media event and less of a marketplace for publishers, creators & artists to beseen and promote their various projects. We are attempting to create a yearly event that acts as a catalyst and “kick-off” to the largest convention of the year. Also, in light of all the fallen heroes of the comic industry this year, we will be honoring the memories of our beloved creators, retailers & pro's that have recently passed. Join us in paying tribute to Michael Turner, Rory Root, Mike Weiringo, Dave Stevens, Steve Gerber & others. FEATURED PUBLISHERS/CREATORS: -MEATHAUS/SOS -ARCANA STUDIOS -STUDIO 407 -BADGER/FANTASY PRONE -FALLEN ANGEL/J.K WOODWARD -MUTTPOP/LUCHA LIBRE -DANGERKATT/PROPHET -R & D COMICS/MONOCLE & JIMMY SPECS -BLUNDER BROTHERS & MORE The event is FREE and will feature an adult bar, food & appetizers, giveaways, charity auction & tons of fans & pro’s mingling in a cool place before the BIG show. See ya at the 1st Annual Pre-Con Showcase & Tribute Mixer!
