Hmm…sounds like fun. I wish I could go =(

It’s a trap!

Nah, i say go for it man.

You should go. It would be a great opportunity to see all your fans.

At any rate, Comicon is not so much about the comics now anyway. You’ll fit right in! Don’t worry.

I also agree with above.

The prospect of a threesome must be pursued even if it is the most minimal of chances. You could get a few DVD’s or have some sort of stream to show your material on televisions behind you, while you whore yourself and t-shirts to the masses.

You’d fit in great but honestly I think you would have more fun if you simply said “I am going to be there and if anyone wants to meet me ….(fill in the blank). You don’t seem the type to just sit in one place for several hours waiting for fans to come to you. I say go to it for your own personal fun and let the fans come find you while you are there

Who knows, maybe you can make a video out of the experience “Dr. Insano vs. Other comic book villains”. I smell a movie deal there :)

I’m sure your enemies already have planned when and where to strike anyway.

I think you should go for it. It might turn out to be different than you expect, and you could meet people who could help promote you.

Is Linkara going?

Well, it could be a fun time for you! And offer some exposure. But to be completely honest, you would have a lot more fun if you were a comic/drawing type artist.

I am an artist, (so my opinion has SOME credibility) and even I actually have a hard time finding the fun at a comic con, at least here in Chicago. (ESPECIALLY here in Chicago, we’re a bunch of jackasses.)

So basically the question is, would this be fun for you? I am sure you would fit in, but I don’t know if it would be worth getting a table if you don’t plan to sell something..hardcore artists who don’t know who you are will expect some merchandise. And sitting there for hours trying to sell things…isn’t fun.

That being said, I still think you should attend because who knows; you might find a comic you like, some people who recognize you, take Scarlett with you and have a good time! Otherwise, start planning now on projects or things you might want to sell. Isn’t Linkara somewhat of a comic book artist? I think you should consult him, and collaborate some ideas.

Ask Linkara to do a table together. He has the comic cred, and you can sell shirts and what not and pimp out the site. You can run the cross over videos. Also, you can split the costs.

Comicon doesn’t seem to be so focused on comics as it used to be, so I don’t think it would be a bad idea to attend as long as you’ve got some merch set up to sell. You could put together some DVD’s collecting some of your more popular videos (FF8 anyone?) and I’m sure if you advertise the shit out of it here on your website, you’d get some visitors. “Oh did I mention you can ONLY buy the DVD’s from me personally at Comicon? And you’ll get it hand signed too!” The kids will be drooling over it..

It would be even more beneficial if you got together with someone like Linkara. That way you could have a better excuse for being at a place like Comicon, and bring more fans around. That way you could probably split the price of the booth and attract even more attention. Hell, you should dress up like Doctor Insano and put on a little skit with Linkara, making asses of yourself in public for other peoples entertainment — and getting paid for it.

Totally do it. You and Linkara together would be a real draw for people. If it were closer to me I would go just to get an autograph and a handshake. Unless you are one of those germ freaks that don’t like to shake hands. Then I would just sneeze on you.

PushingUpRoses and diggerjohn have the right idea.

Originally I was against the idea because you have to think that basically, is it worth $300 – $600 to basically just host some of us fans to an autograph session? Yes it would be fun, but you need to make money, not spend it.

However, if you and Linkara got together it would be an entirely different ordeal. Linkara can sell his stuff, you can sell some of yours. Comic geeks who have no idea who you are, but know of Linkara, can be introduced to you. More crossover videos is always a plus, and only paying half the fare is a bonus. The hard part is ensuring Linkara can make the trip without added expenses and stress to his own schedule.

Anyway, I’d say if you can link with Linkara, do it. If not, then it might not be the best idea financially for you.

Damn i’d love to go but im on the wrong…continent

Damn i’d love to go but im on the wrong…continent

I live in Toronto so I’m not going to Phoenix Comicon, but I’m all for you going to conventions. Personally I think you’d do better going to conventions where you can do a Q&A though instead of getting a table. That being said, why don’t you make a DVD? Maybe it wouldn’t be done in time for the next convention, but if you made a DVD, there’s a good chance people would buy them.

Alright, here’s the plan. Bring a comfortable recliner, a sign with your logo on it, and sit under a red canopy. If people stop by, not knowing who you are, you can recount the tales of old, weaving fantastic eulogies for your late great grandfather who served in the ancient war of Zeparites mon Tafiel, acting as a berserk strategist and the root of the allied forces.

I’d totally come.

Totally do it. A chance to do a real life version of Spooning with Spoony should always be pursue (no matter how minimal). But seriously, you should. You never know how many fans come.

I live in Scotland so it doesn’t affect me in anyway. I can picture Spoony sittng on a throne commanding a rather camp blonde man named ‘Edward’ to fetch him drinks…hmm wonder where that came from? Anyway it would be cool for you to get some publicity to advertise your site and what not, I say go for it, man!

You do realize that there will be lines of people just waiting to say “You’re in my way, sir”, right?

I dunno about a booth, Spoony, but it might be worth to see if you could organize some kind of panel and wrangle some of your colleagues, so to speak, into going with you. If Linky-boy is available hooking up with him for this would be a total bonus. I know you’re not that into comics, but at most conventions there’s usually lots of pen and paper games like Dungeons and Dragons around, and people running games, so maybe you could work with something like that.

HA! Don’t start screaming betrayal when you walk in on ME and Felicia Day making out! =)

Hmm well I personally think that ” IF ” you do decide to go that maybe instead of selling a whole lot of stuff you might be kinda like just be a celeb attract…like the kind of guy that just shows up signing autographs …(and girls boobs *cough* ..and maybe guys too…*cringe*) Anyways yah I think if you do decide to show it would probably be helping just attract extra demographic to the area if you ask me…therefore I say that the con should pay YOU $300 for a booth. That just IMO but yah :P

I’m against it, but only because its too far for me. Though I agree with the others that it might be more fun for you if you go simply as an attendee, but on the other hand getting a table, you might be to make connections with more people and gain new minions!

Yeah– I’ld definitely strike. Not that I’m an enemy…

^and Scarlett… I…that….. ….. It’s Win. Definitely win, right there.

Seriously? Sounds good to me (though I wouldn’t be able to make it). Get yourself out there. I think you would attract new comers. Thought $300 is quite an investment to make in order to do so…

Yeah, I agree with everyone who suggested the Linkara thing. Its a lot of money to spend on a booth unless you are VERY confident you can sell merchandise. Otherwise, if you go, keep an eye on Miss Scarlett! I hear she has a thing for the ladies.

Well… since I can’t go…
I don’t know! If your fans really want to see you… Maybe?
But in any case… You are the fucking coolest dude I have seen on the internet…
And I have seen the Nostalgia critic and the Angry videogame nerd, so that’s saying a lot!
GO FOR IT!!
A dude from Finland will back you up!!… (not with money tho…)

Further input- comic cons tend to be harsh, for whatever reason, in regards to selling/asking for constructive criticism on any artwork. However this post has kind of inspired me to go to the con myself and set up my artwork. I’ll have to look into it, stat.

Noah, you pussy! Get yer ass out there and show the public some love, you seminifirous tablodial buttnoid !

If Linkara’s going, it seems like it would be a good idea to share a table. You two have had such a good rapport going in all those brilliant crossover videos, you could lower the costs a fair bit, and he’s got the comic cred.

But, really, why don’t you have some serious merch to pawn off at this point? I mean, I love your T-shirts and coasters and all that, but if fucktards like the Irate Gamer have DVDs of their work why not the funniest man on the Internet? Seriously, I think it would be a good thing to try out. Your Final Fantasy VIII series is definitely almost demanding to transfer to DVD format, various collaborations of your game reviews (“Classic Spoony” with all of his older game reviews and the “Spooning with Spoony” in the bonus features sound good to anyone?) or even a couple of your more epic Vlogs (like Indy 4 or, especially, Transformers 2) all seem like they’d make excellent fodder for DVDs. I know I’d have to buy at least one, if only so I can watch your reviews on my flatscreen, but also it could help find new fans. Much easier for someone, when friends are over, to say, “I’ve got this hilarious DVD we can watch” than to pull them into sitting at your computer while you show them the website. Anyway, I think it’d be a great experiment to start shilling some Spoony DVDs, and if they don’t sell… well then you just stop making them, and the originals suddenly become “collector’s items” available at a substantial markup. Capitalism ahoy!

I’d go for it, maybe you could get Linkara to join you.

The Nostalgia Critic did a lot of cons in October if I remember right, maybe just do whatever he did?

If you wanna do it, then go do it.You have my support. Also, WTF is your Fark handle.

Do a Phantasmagoria DVD set or a FF8 one for the convention.

In my opinion Comic-Con has become too huge for its own good and wouldn’t be a good venue to meet and greet fans on a more personal level. I stopped going a few years back just because the insane crowds made navigating the center a tiring chore and really took away from the fun.

I would suggest going to smaller scale cons, the atmosphere is always more enjoyable and relaxed and everyone really gets a chance to stop and chat with each other unlike something huge like Comic-con San Diego where everything is about rush rush rush and keeping on schedule.

If you have enough fans in pheonix, you definitely should.. I actually have a friend in pheonix, so if you do, I’ll get her to go get me an autograph, because I’d like to have that.

Don’t turn it away out of hand.. it might be fun, and if it’s a total flop, it’s not a huge loss… it’s sizeable sure, but not something that’ll ruin you for life. I think you should do it, but who the fuck am I?

Yes go but only as a regular attendee. Don’t trouble yourself with being an ‘attraction’.

Ill me in pheonix in 2010 for school, i totally want to see you there broski!

People keep suggesting DVDs of reviews/let’s plays, but with something like that copyright is almost definitely going to be an issue.

Oh crap I need to correct myself, I had a lapse of retardation and thought you were talking about Comic-Con San Diego :P

Yes you should totally go to Phoenix Comic-con since this is actually its first time at the Phoenix convention center, all years prior it’s been at the Mesa convention center. Its been an enjoyable con every time I’ve gone to it, I’m sure next year’s will be no different.

Y’know, I’d love to be able to pop over and say hi. But as I’m a Brit (Blagole) that is unlikely,.
All power to you, though, the spoony one. I’ve enjoyed your stuff immensley.
I expect a full vlog or some sort of idea of what the hell goes on at these things….
Ta.
Nerfy :)

If i could afford to fly out there i would go just to see you and i’d bring a great big stick to beat off all the hordes of ladies trying to throw their panties at you. Unless you like that sort of thing. If so then “Panties Ho!”

I wouldn’t get a table. But, you should go…you’d probably have fun. And if you meet Felicia Day and do manage to hit dat, you GOTTA make a video of it.

Fuck Azeroth or wherever the hell you said this thing is… come to England instead. You’d get the warmest greating England can offer!! (Which is usually an odd look, a nod and a “G’mornin’”

Jay, you messed up.
It’s an odd look, a nod, a ‘G’mornin” AND a nice cuppa tea.
And,on certain days, a muffin. That maybe illegal in some states, though.

If I lived near Arizona I would totally come to see you. Unfortunately, I’m on the other end of the country.

Well, at least it’s not too bad in Florida. The next con I’m going to has Kevin Sorbo as a guest. Jealous, Spoony? Maybe I’ll dress as Dr. Insano and get his autograph.

I’m with the others who say try to go with Linkara and just have a good time… or set up a booth if that’s what you really want to do. I think y’all underestimate just how recognizable you’re becoming among the comic book/internet geek crowd.

I just want to thank you for saying “the point is moot” not mute. You wouldn’t believe how many arguments I get into with people over that one. As for Comi-con. I know it’s the unpopular oppinion but, it doesn’t sound like you should bother. Not on you’re own anyway.

I’ll never be able to go, but if it can set you some kind of deadline and motivate you to create some stuff – maybe compile a DVD by then? – then go !

If you do end up doing it, I might just have to bike down there and hunt you down for an autograph/DVD/shirt..

I live on the east coast so I could never go but I must say this from being in theatre. Exposure ….Exposure…Exposure. Its all good as long as its not on a whoring status. On another note…if you made T-shirts I would soooooo buy one.

You should go Spoony!

You should go Spoony!

Do you feel in danger of disappearing into your own history?
When you hear these things, do they mean ‘nothing’?
You have nothing to fear. What you have is called an ‘opinion’
No response as yet.
So, anyone else… talk to us.
.

Walk around as Dr. Insano (not necessarily in character the whole time).. and hopefully run into someone else dressed as Insano and call him out. Might not be much.. but Dr. Insano seems to fit in with the whole comic book thing.

I also agree with those suggesting to ask Linkara.

Opinions are, of course, like arseholes.
EVERYONE has one.
But we will still talk, listen and whatever to those who care.

I thought for 20 mins or so, we might have something to work with.
At least, that’s something

As someone who has ran conventions before I’d like to offer one cheap method to attend: Talk to the people running the convention, introduce who you are, and offer to run/host a panel. They don’t cost you anything, it means extra entertainment and an “event” for the show.

It could be whatever you want to do- a live skit, a review or just a simple Q&A / How I do things kind of operation. Something to consider.

get linkara to stop doing revolution of the mask or light bringer for a short time and get him to do a limited series on Dr. Insano and then whore it out and you got a year to do it!

Who loves comics more than women? Linkara. You and Linkara should go!! I’m sure the comic world knows him. If not, they SHOULD. You should also go as Dr. Insano with him as others have said.

Spoony you should go and start world domination out of the world wide web from there…no one would suspect a thing

Canadian student here, so I have no chance of coming, but I WOULD DIE TO GO! Seriously Spooney, your a big celeb and you should go to conventions man! I personally don’t go because I think everyone are idiots (anime weeaboos mostly) but you can really meet some good people too. Going to conventions help you learn more about your fans, getting to hang out with people who adore you, and get used to being surrounded by serious fans. Plus builds celeb resistance against idiots. The more fans you have, the more unbearable and annoying they can get, but you need to learn how to perfectly keep them thinking you care when you really really don’t. FYI COME TO CANADA (TORONTO) YOU AMERICAN BASTARD!

I say go. And film it, if you can.

I say go. And film it, if you can.

You’ve got enough time to make some DVD’s if you’d like to sell them. Might go myself for a chance to meet The Spoony One and check out Comicon for the first time.

Go to the San Diego comic-con. I’m going there next year and it’d be awesome to meet my favorite internet personality. Oh, and you of course.

:P

I wish you could have gone to Youmacon with NC, Linkara, and Angry Joe. I would have loved to meet my 3 fav internet celebs at once! Seriously though if those 3 that have nothing to do with anime can rock an anime convention as hard as they did, you can rock a comic convention easy. Getting Linkara to go would probably help too.

come to anime north in toronto. may 24 weekend. You’re like jesus to us canadians

You should go so i can say “youre in my way sir” while wearing an i <3 ff8 tshirt, with citizen soldier loopingenuity in the background. HA

Azerth has a good idea, I think a dr insano comic couldbe funny. I live in tucson, i might visit phoenix if your there and i usually avoid comic cons cause they smell like Cheetos and bacon grease. i went to an anime screening once and pissed everyone off with my snarky remarks about how crummy the anime they were showing was. but a comic con altough they are different nerds its still a bunch of nerds that live with their parents and wreak of BO and halitosis. Honestly if you see me there ill be the one wearing a gas mask.

Yeah… if you do go, I think you should mentally prepare yourself for a LOT of people telling you, “You’re in my way, sir” until eventually you rip someone’s heart out and hold it up as a nerd trophy and warning to all those who go out of their way to annoy Spoony.

While you’d certainly be anonymous at the event, it’d be a great way to promote to a different (yet somewhat similar) kind of fan base that’d probably migrate over to you with little to no complaints. Just got to play it right. Get some more direct comic book movie and game reviews done and push them?

OK, cautionary tale time! I’m some kind of ex-internet celebrity (how pathetic is that?) and I have this here low profile game company I’m trying to turn into well, let’s be realistic, a mildly less low profile game company. So I book some booth space at a couple local conventions. It costs me a crazy wad of money, and I wind up stuck sitting behind a table in a back room nobody really has any inclination to come into, sell a whopping 1 game per show, and barely even run any demos.

After that, just for the heck of it, I head down to DragonCon, not registered to do anything, not even a con with the right sort of focus. I just pack some stuff into a box, wander around, have fun, eventually make my way to the gamers all buried in the basement playing whatever, sit down at an open table, spread out my stuff, end up getting more exposure than I ever would otherwise. Especially compared to people taking the expensive route for that one.

So… yeah. The only time you should actually pay for table space at a con is if you’re a big ol’ company with lots of junk to have some lackey sell, or if you’re involved with some show/comic/movie that has some real insane gushing fanboys. Otherwise, not only are you wasting money, but you’re making it LESS likely you’ll bump into a fan by restricting yourself to one spot.

Rewrite the screenplay for Monsters and Mazes, The Spoony Cut and sell autographed copies.

well you could always sell stuff the fans send you so long as they agree not to ask for any of the profit themselves

I would say that if Linkara was going, then you could hook up with him, and he would help you get better known to comic fans, but ultimately the choice is yours dude.

I would definitely fly out to Phoenix from the east coast

If you actually want to go but you don’t want to set up a booth for $300, but you DO want to sell some merch, then just bring a very large suitcase into the building with a large sticker with the Penny Arcade guys on it that reads “NOT N1H1.” Then, if you get escorted into a room to examine the contents of your suitcase and your rectum, the cops will find it lined with t-shirts and DVDs.
The suitcase I mean…

What do I think? I think I’d drive all the way from San Francisco just to grab that autograph and shirt. Seriously, Spoony, don’t underestimate the people’s desire to meet you in person.

creepers aside (and there would be at least a few, im sure) i think it’d be a good chance to at least hit up people and mingle a bit. seems you spend loads of time at home doing the vids and playing the games we keep demanding from ya, could be fun to get out and take a break and bitch with other people who are at least in the same general background if nothing else.

also, making of dvd’s wouldnt be too much of a pain, depending on how many were required.

I’m of the camp that says it would definitely be worth your while to go, just for the chance to schmooze with folks and maybe make a few new friends. If $300 what they’re charging for cheap tables, that might not be a good idea unless, as others have suggested, you can partner with someone like Linkara.

But yeah, if it’s possible for you to go and just hang out without having to get a table, it would certainly be worth the time and expense to get some business cards or something made and go do it. Who knows, something good might come of it, especially with the good advice and suggestions I’ve seen thus far in the comments.

I’ll agree with the majority on this one and say that you should go, but don’t buy a table. Unless you have something to display or sell, you’re better off just mingling with the fans. You could also try getting a panel like 58 suggested.

I don’t read comics but if you’ll be appearing, I’ll be flying down from Canada to shake your hand sir!

you should make a trip to canada in july and go to the calgary stampede :D

A lot of people are saying that you should go with Linkara.
Instead, you should go as Linkara.
It will cause some sort of…identity…crisis…and hilarity will ensue.

Seriously, Linkara should go and you should be his guest.

I live in California, come over here. I demand it.

How about this….if you win the Mashable, you make an appearance at PCon’10. Also, who needs a table? All you’d have to do is show up (unless Doctor Insano takes your place, it’s probably the best way to get him out of the house!) and it would have the same effect.

You should go as your drunken pirate moniker and just stagger around yelling at people for stealing your parrot.

Challenge mode: Actually *be* drunk when you’re doing this. See how long you can last before security makes you walk the plank.

if your going as a guest to a con i think it would be better to go as a panal guest of some sort more. were you can interact more and use your talents rather then just siting in a both singing autographs.

id love to say that i would travel ,000 miles to meet you but honestly taking the 51 its only an 18 mile drive (im by the 101 and the 51) i would totally go see you. i would be tempted to tell you that you were in my way but i would withhold it cause i know you are gunna get that from 100 other people coming to see you from or not from arizona. my friend loves dr horrible’s sing along blog and i turned him onto you and the other TGWTG so he would totally go too… i guarentee that if you go you are going to meet more people that know you than you think you will… and you should totally vlog the whole thing

Don’t bother, you have nothing to gain, and atleast something to lose.

i would go as a spectator. i mean, you’ve not been to one before so you don’t know what to expect from it. is it big? is it small? Get some information about it. If it’s likely a 500 people will show up and it’s a smaller venue then it’s a more intimate setting and you could actually do well. if it’s huge and gigantic with 10 of thousands i would say maybe hold off. you might get lost amidst the crowds.

the way you could interpret your reasoning for going is that comics are made into movies and games all the time which will be there and you’ve done reviews on movies and games based on those. If you go into it expecting to be selling lots of stuff and coming away with green in your pocket, you might get disappointed. especially if your shirts are geared more for fans than those who’re just learning about you for the first time. but if you treat it like it’s purely for exposure then you might get more out of it.

i hope this helps. although you might not even read the comments.

Screw that come England!

Screw that come England!

at con’s i believe u can hold gaming sessions as well you should DM at a table ill blow off the dice and come

It would be awesome. That way, all of us could walk up to you in person and say, “You’re in my way sir.”

If you’re looking for merch might I suggest Dr. Insano glasses? If you want you could even do a little shtick in character about raising funds for some hilariously diabolical take-over-the-world scheme.

I’d say go Noah, it just adds another event to attend to, to your boring everyday life like chirstmas :)

Hey, I’d love to draw for you, since I got Photoshop and I’ll do it without pay(For reasons I keep to myself), but I’ll take my regonition that you mention in one of your ‘Ask Spoony’ videos.

It would be aweseom to see you fight against the FF8 fanboy hecklers!!!!!! XD

I think DragonCon would be a more appropriate venue for you, Spoony. Granted, it’s a longer trip all the way out to Atlanta, but it’s essentially a multimedia convention, so it might be easier for you to fit in there. Just sayin’.

Sell T-Shirts

awkward moments and 300$ is a small price to pay for a chance at codex. just sayin’. lol

I think you should go to anime boston this year… It the convention of CHAPIONS… or at least the best place around stupid ass rhode island to go to. Anyway, id kill for an “I heard that Curtis” T-shirt, just sayin.

Iressivor has a point. wait for DragonCon or maybe GenCon. They’re more your style.

Well I live in Phoenix. Mesa to be exact. I’d for sure some say hi and buy what ever you had out on the tabel. I’d also hang around to help you beat the shit out of your enemies. And it would make my year if I got to meet you!

Hiya! :) I’m with Phoenix Comicon, and just wanted to extend that we love supporting ALL aspect of geek/pop culture- plus your t-shirts kick ass. I’m super excited about the move (for those who haven’t been with us, we started in 2002 with 400 attendees, and we anticipate pushing 10-12k unique attendees in a much larger venue than we have the past few years).. would love to see some variation with our exhibitors.

We’re also currently seeking panel hosts and programming. So, if the table isn’t the way to go for you, please talk to us about that! (anabel@phoenixcomicon.com, or Joe Boudrie at programming@phoenixcomicon.com

/end marketing blah blah, because seriously, I do think you’d fit in just fine. :)

Would it be possible to compile various sketches and reviews into a DVD format, and sell them for 10 or 15 bucks? I’d be willing to bet people would buy them, even people who don’t know you, since that’s not a huge amount to risk on something potentially not being to your taste. Might even generate extra traffic for the site. (Now I’m unaware of how copyright would be affected by something like that, but I imagine since you’re a critic it would all fall under fair use?) You could even sell them on the site later, perhaps. And yes, t-shirts are a must sell item as well.

Also, for what its worth, I live in San Diego (home of the REAL ComicCon, thank you very much ;-) ), but I would totally spend the time and gas to drive out to the Phoenix one just to get an autograph and/or DVD and t-shirt.

It would probably be better if you were go to DragonCon instead. You could still go to Comicon but not get a small booth. It’s not worth it if you’re just going to sell t-shirts and signing autographs. I’m sure a lot of people will recognize you even without a booth.

I think you should come! I haven’t even heard about this convention until just today, which is rather sad given that I live in Phoenix (blush).

That’d be cool, but I would have to travel to Phoenix from Ontario… why not come up here to Anime North. Everyone is much cooler and its not just an Anime Convention with the gaming and comics and comedy sketches, Its a damn good time.

I dunno dude, you said in that last video that your death would come at the hands of a final fantasy 8 fanboy. They might take this opportunity to shout something along the lines of “Glory to the draw system!” and plunge a dagger into your heart. Just something to be aware of, I think.

I would definately strike you… I mean I think it’s a good idea!

If you have the free time, and can afford it, go ahead. Have fun.

I would make the 2 hour drive with a limo full of ex-girlfriends and their currents making out to get there.

And if you need help fighting off the FF8 fanboys I will gladly lend you any number of blunt objects

I think you should go for it. you never know you might see something there that might give you insperation for your reviews.

Here is an idea if you guys do show up for the express purpose of meeting the Will Wheton.

Spoony. Will Wheton. Scarlet. Felicia Day.

Playing DnD

I leave you to choose who plays what class.

And god damnit I had Dibs on Felicia Day. ;_;

I know how you can go! Abduct Doug and claim your holding him hostage at the Con. >.> People will ask for autographs and take pictures.

Or go towards an rpg angle instead. Something among those books and dice might inspire you.

Definately go, im in denver, i always wanted to see Arizona. ill make it my graduation trip thingy next year.

you have t-shirts to sell, but me and other spoony fans are probably gonna realize your line isnt gonna be 1000 people long, and were gonna wanna converse over nerdy opinions.

its your call noah.

Even if it’s $300 for the table, I think the experience will be worth it. Apart from the total melvins you might encounter, I think a LOT of us would love the opportunity to come see you, buy some of your stuff, and tell you how much we appreciate you. Hell, I’m totally willing to drive out there from TN, so I’m sure others would make the trek, as well.

“You’re in my way sir”

I’d really just go to your booth just to see if I’ll get spin kicked by you.

Just go you don’t have to spend money on a table. If you do get a table sell a bunch of spoony brand Son of Insano dolls.

First of all: Picturing you in a threesome has scarred me for life. And second: If you can’t spare the money, don’t. But I think you should at least go as a visitor if only for fun and to meet some fans.

dont do it…

dont do it…

I don’t think you’re well known enough at this point dude. You need some solid financial backing, if you have to pay for the booth out of pocket, then it probably isn’t for you. I think it’s time to REALLY get your name out there, make a portfolio, and start shopping to bigger sites, kind of like what AVGN did with screwattack and spike.com, though I’m not much of a fan of his. You have the talent, and you aren’t getting any younger. Get the money behind you, bro.

I say make enough DVDs/T-Shirts to cover the trip/booth costs and you’ll break even with a fun trip for free.

When you found Felecia Day, I’d be tappin’ on your shoulder and tellin’ you, “you’re in my way, sir!” *nodnods*

Well here’s the thing Spoony, I went to ComicCon this year when it was here in Mesa and it wasn’t just Comics. You had the Sci-Fi people, along with the Anime people. And maybe this is just me but you are starting to get a good chunk of Gamers going there as well. Really I could see the ComicCon here in town having a little of everything and hey it would be killer to see you to host something on old gaming be it RPG’s or old Cd-Rom titles.

go man, you don’t even have to pay for a table just walk around as doctor insano, we’ll know its you ^_^ me and my friends would drive all the way from Georgia to phoenix to get autographs and meet you :D

Well, good for you guys. If I’d have a chance to meet you in person, I’d be there!

So, what you must do is quite simple. Just advertise this and get like hundreds of people there to meet ya.
Talk with your fans and all that jaz. Sell some stuff.

But yeah, you should go. People would love to meet ya, right?

Well, I live in Illinois, so what happens at the Phoenix Comicon really doesn’t affect me alot. However… a threesome with gorgeous internet redheads? There is no part of that concept that isn’t the greatest thing ever.

do it, you’ll get paid to go to Comicon. People dream to go and they are offering to give you money to go there

Spoony: DVDs are a great idea. Just pick some of your best episodes and burn them yourself. Would be awesome.

I think you should definitely do it. Just do some blatant self promotion, talk to a few people, sell a few shirts, and have a good time. :)

I bet a lot of people would want to meet you but I don’t think that warrants $300 especially since you have so few things to sell. And I’m afraid that you might be traumatized because there will be the same 10 people standing around constantly quoting your videos while now and then final fantasy fans try to kill or at least harm your verbally.

As I will not be attending, and the fact that you would have little to profit, attend as a guest and just stand near some people’s table. Fans will recognize you and you don’t have to pay extra at all!

DOOO IT NOWWWW!!!

It would be best to not get a booth, and just roam around as a guest to get exposure to others and give your fans a chance to meet you.

I would totally drive from San Diego to get a chance to chat with ya, especially if you’re down for a little Dungeons and Dragons session. ;)

If you’re feeling out of place since it’s a comic con, you can try to pick up some of the back issues of KotD that contain your reviews and resell them (and offer to autograph them for a buck or whatever over cost), in addition to selling your T-shirts. Make sure to mention your website too. Look at it as a way to expand your audience.

G’day,

I figured I’d perhaps try to help you out on your display if you chose to go by brainstorming small purchasable things for others to buy:
1) Cardboard cut outs of Dr.Insaino glasses. So that others can make ridiculous imitations.
…

Alright, that’s all I can think of. But it’s something.

Here’s a crazy idea, Spoony. If you’re worried about not being a big enough draw as a guest, why not put your talents on display? Why not offer something exclusive, like a one-time-only screening of a mystery game review? Maybe you could even riff on it for the live audience!

Even if you just went as a regular ol’ spectator, that would be fine enough.

Speaking of comics, I sent you an e-mail with a proposition. I’ve read before that you had an idea for a pirate comic, and I am eager to see if that concept is still kicking around in some form. I enjoy collaboration — being able to throw ideas back and forth, receive constructive criticism, and banter over details. I have ideas of my own, and I would definitely love to get your take on my craft.

In gratitude to your work over the years, I am freely at your disposal. The only price I ask is to get in touch, and who knows, if this thing takes flight we might walk away with a few extra bucks.

I sent you some examples of my work in said e-mail. The first item is work-in-progress, but I’ll get back to it once my plate is cleared of assignments. Check your damn e-mail, son! Hope to hear from you soon.

@135:

I’m pretty sure if it were that simple he’d be shilling DVDs everywhere, but legally there’s a big difference between posting reviews and so forth with clips of the original material online and selling them for profit. Since he doesn’t make any money directly off his reviews on this site, that gives him a lot of extra legal protection from copyright infringement he wouldn’t have if he chose to sell DVDs. Anybody whose work had been used in them could sue him back into the Stone Age if they wanted to. So first he’d actually have to get the rights to use their material in his DVDs, and has he’s already mentioned that has proven to be so ridiculously difficult that for the time being he has dropped the idea of DVDs. It’s a shame, but hey, that’s copyright law for you.

Geez, Spoony, what is up with you an older women?

Geez, Spoony, what is up with you an older women?

You should probably go, maybe not as a guest, but it is something you should check out. If you get a table, your gonna be pretty much chained to it the entire time. But if you roam around the con, you will get to meet more fans and enjoy more of the cons activities. They might have a game room or D&D room you can enjoy.

Another con you might consider is MAGfest. It’s pretty far for you since it’s in Virgina, but it’s a straight up video game convention.

Think of it this way. Will there be any final fantasy fanboys there? because you will probably just be hailed with ff8 questions and accusations for the whole time you are there
