With Denver Comic Con this weekend, I’m reminded of some awesome memories that I’ve had there.  The first time I met Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar (that’s a whole other story) was at Denver.  I bought my first original comic book pages from Ty Templeton at Denver (which started a whole other obsession).  I started collecting animation cels at Denver.  I’ve met amazing people that have become good friends even if I only see them once or twice a year.  As we approach another Denver Comic Con, this year is different.  It’s the first con that GTN gets to cover as media.  We get to sit down with cool people and talk about what they are doing.  We are going to write blogs, record pods, eat and sleep coverage.  We get to rub shoulders with other media members who are more seasoned than us so I’m looking forward to picking some brains.

Personally, I’m beyond excited to finally finish my Justice League animation cel autograph collection.  I’ve waited two years to get Michael Rosenbaum and it’s finally happening (barring last minute cancellations).  Luke Cage and Iron Fist autographs should happen as well as some with the Stranger Things kids.  Either way, it’s going to be a great time that supports a great cause.  I’m going to be beyond exhausted by Sunday, but that’s what con adrenaline is for!

If you are on the fence about attending, don’t be.  If you aren’t from the Denver area (we aren’t) and are looking for a destination con, this one warrants serious consideration.  There is just a different vibe there compared to some other shows.  Sure it still gets “con crazy” at times, but I’ve never not had a great time there.  From the awesome cosplay, yearly craft brew (I AM BREWT!) to a good section of the con dedicated to artists of all kinds, DCC is truly a con apart.

If you see us on the con floor (just look for GTN t-shirts), say hello!

As Sam Jackson says, “hold onto your butts.”  See you in Denver.
