Creating A Con

Hey there, 

Hi there,

Ho there Gamelings!

I know it has been quite a while since our last post!
What were we thinking???

We missed you!
Did you miss us?

ANYWAY...

Since we've been gone for so long a lot has happened.
The most notable of these events is that we, my friend Diedre and I, got to go to Phoenix Comicon Fan Fest! It was wonderful! We met so many wonderful vendors like Sparkle Monster, Project Pinup, tandy leather, Tech Shop, Steam Crow, Phoenix Escape Room, Frank and Nats Armory, Kiki Jenkins, The Subtle Geek, Look Cuter, and Art Dimes.We also saw a few wonderful charities there like Kids Need to Read, and Comicare!

Here's a taste of the wonderful cosplays we saw there:

That being said, and shown, we would DEFINITELY love to go again! The atmosphere was electric. The people you met treated you like family. This is definitely the kind of community that people want to be a part of.

This sense of community was wonderful but so far away. I brought this up to the club that I am the president of at Cochise College, Digital Media Arts Club (DMAC). Everyone agreed unanimously. But how do we fix that?

The answer came to me immediately and I put it to the club: Should we create our own comicon?
The response that I received was mind-blowing.

Immediately we set to work.

We set a date and time.
We chose a location.
We contacted vendors, panelists, and exhibitors.
We put the word out there for Cosplayers.
This is happening.

So, without any further ado, I present to you:

COCHISE COLLEGE COMIC CON

We are still accepting applications for Vendors, Panelists, and Exhibitors!

The applications are open until March 17th!
For ticket and vendor information, please visit OUR WEBSITE!!!!

I look forward to seeing you there!

Crazy Awesome Super Coverage?

I am beyond excited to tell you all that The Pinup Gamer will be covering Phoenix Comicon Fan Fest!!

This is a HUGE step in the right direction for us here at TPG.

This makes the second huge event that we're able to cover! How cool is that? We plan to bring a few livestream videos on our facebook page from these events and you can expect to see lots of pictures and interviews! 

There's one catch!

These events and travel are expensive. We are trying to scrape together enough money for a shared hotel room for each event and gas for a carpool vehicle but it's not easy starting out! We would appreciate any help you can give us! Just head on over to our Donation Page or click below and give what you can!

We appreciate everything you all do for us!

You lot are the reason we keep going!

Thank you so much!
