Good news....there are more hotel rooms available at the Hilton Garden Inn for those staying over. As of yesterday, it was sold out but the hotel has added some more rooms to our block.

But the catch is you now need to call to reserve a room at the lower $109 show rate (online booking has ended). You can reserve through May 17 at the special show rate. Call the Hilton Garden Inn Ft. Washington at 1-215-646-4637 and use our show code of "Pop".

Thank you for adding some rooms to the block. I tried before but they were sold out! Deadline is the 17th for those of you who didn't book yet. (if they have any rooms left) Looking forward to the dinner too.

Any other news you can share with us Harris?

We're buzzing along. Thanks for posting the reminder about the deadline for reserving at the Hilton Garden Inn. As you say, that's coming up in just a couple of days so if anyone needs a room, you better get on the phone! Big Grin Details are in my post above.

We're working on an emailer now with news about what some of the artists will have going on at the show. If anyone wants to get a copy of the note and be on our email list, you can sign up here:

Pop Art Con - Mailing List sign-up

I will try and remember to post a link to that mailing here.

We didn't really push promos so much at this show since we're focused on artists but I think promo collectors will be pretty happy with some of the stuff being worked on!

I've posted this elsewhere and it's on the blog today but thought I'd post it in the show forum as well:

Cryptozoic to Exchange Promos at Pop Art Con

Cryptozoic Entertainment has come up with something pretty novel. At the upcoming Pop Art Con on June 10 at the Ft. Washington Hilton Garden Inn (Philadelphia area), the company will exchange your duplicate Cryptozoic promo for one you might not have. Got an extra Smallville Seasons 7 – 10 P1 and really want a Tarzan 100th Anniversary P2 instead? Cryptozoic has you covered! The only hitch is you have just one shot at this as each show attendee may only exchange one Cryptozoic Entertainment promo card. Cryptozoic Entertainment’s Miranda Anderson says “Our goal is to provide a method for fans to try to get some of those hard-to-get promo cards.”

Cryptozoic has provided us with a list of cards they will have on-hand at the show (quantities will be limited): [LIST]
  • P1 Smallville Trading Cards Season 7-10
  • P3 Smallville Trading Cards Season 7-10
  • P1 The Big Bang Theory
  • P1 The Guild Trading Card
  • P2 The Vampire Diaries
  • P5 The Vampire Diaries
  • P1 Tarzan 100 Anniversary
  • P2 Tarzan 100 Anniversary
  • P1 The Walking Dead Comic Book
  • P2 The Walking Dead Comic Book
  • P1 Fringe “Imagine The Impossible”

    Some of the promos are shown on the blog. For more information on Pop Art Con, visit the Pop Art Con website.

    Here's some other Pop Art Con info....Cryptozoic Entertainment is doing portfolio reviews at Pop Art Con. They are looking for artists interested in creating sketch cards for their upcoming sets. They have posted details about this including what you should bring to the show for review on their blog today:
