/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

So last year, I had a table at a con called Big Apple Comic Con. It was $400 for a 2-day con. It had some big names, but the con itself was pretty empty. A lot of the other exhibitors said it was because the con owners got the big names in last minute and didnt market it very well. I only made $200 in the 2 days I was there.

It being in Manhattan was also a pain in the ass because I had to rely on my dad to drive me in, and my sister to help me carry in my table shit. In NYC you unfortunately cant just park in a nearby parking lot, nor can you easily find parking right by the venue. So if I were to drive in and carry my shit on my own, I'd have to park a few blocks down and make 2-3 trips to carry in everything.

So I decided not to do it this year, and lo and behold, I find out they've gotten some bigger names, like William Shatner and Mike Colter. And some big name comic artists like Frank Cho will be there. They also were heavier on the marketing this year. A part of me in wondering if I should've gotten a table again this year, but I didn't think it was worth doing it again.

Thoughts? Should I have tried to do this show again, now with all the big names being there?
