This is a discussion on "Convention Watch" in the Marketing forum.
My last post got me thinking about what conventions are around and when are they held.
I'll start off with the following:
- Florida SuperCon: Miami, FL from July 4th through July 7th 2013
- MegaCon: Orlando, FL from March 15th through March 17th 2013
- MetroCon: Tampa, FL June 2013
- KhaoticKon: Tampa, FL May 3rd through May 5th 2013
- DragonCon: Atlanta, GA August 31st through September 3rd 2012 (I wish I could go!)
Anyone care to share?

Why do these things never happen in Canada?
San Diego is the perfect place to have conventions, no matter the time of the year. I went to one there in 2008. Beautiful.Why do these things never happen in Canada?

You, too, can get a copy of Lorelei and the Lost and Found Monster from Amazon.com.
I think you misread my post. I said Canada, NOT California. ^^;
I know. They don't happen in Canada because you don't have San Diego

Comic Con is awesome...

Plus it's San Diego. Great weather, beach, safe community....

2013?
Right. Here's the deal:
1) I'm going to finish my book[s] (or at least something half decent) by then. Full completion.
2) I'm going to get some cards printed up (and figure out my marketing strategy, duh)
3) I'm going to go to WFC and spam the hell out of those publishers (by which I mean strike up intelligent conversation with people who matter and do some sneaky networking).
Any one else?
