Thoughts on the 2nd Tatertot Con!

I was able to attend the 2nd-ever Tatertot Con for a chunk of the morning today; it was a great deal of fun! There were a ton of vendors, creators, and wrestling events showcased throughout the entire show. I was pleased with the mix of stuff for sale, ranging from a good deal of comics, to Funko Pops, trading cards, and more!

After checking in with the awesome crew of Tatertot Comics and Collectibles (the showrunners), I kicked off the event by chatting with my good friends Spike (of Lost in Space Toys and Collectibles) and Dave (All-American Collectibles). They were excited for the show! 

I also browsed some books from the good folks of Lumber Inn Comics--they had a lot of stuff for stellar prices (all well-organized, too)--I picked up a chunk of lovely dollar books from them! I also chatted with my friend at Replicon Radio, who had an assortment of goodies for purchase.

I had the pleasure of meeting Preppy Collectibles and admiring their awesome logo! They had a bunch of trading card game items for sale.

Nerd Fury had a massive mix of comics for sale, ranging from dollar books to impressive key issues.

Steve of Steve's Comic Cleaning and Pressing was selling wares and ready to accept submissions to clean and press--he does amazing work! It was also his birthday today. Happy birthday, Steve!

I really enjoyed meeting Sacred Earth Recycling. Their creations were made from aluminum via soda and beer cans. We discussed the importance of conservation and making something new out of things others would maybe normally consider, "Trash," or lacking in use.

The Little Black Cat Company was selling engaging crafts and wonderfully smelling soaps. I always enjoy a good and unique soap! I also saw my awesome friend, Bruce Reynolds!

Bearly Trinkets was selling an intriguing assortment of creations that I enjoyed looking at. Elite Collectibles had a bunch of interesting trading card-related items as well.

Geek it Up Creations had a bunch of snazzy wares available and were very friendly, too! Plus, I ran into the delightful folks of Go Getter Gamez, whom I previously met at the Shriner's Collector Fest.

The wrestling area as it was getting prepped!

There were so many other snazzy sellers at the show that I didn't manage to snap a photo of or speak to, because it was packed with fantastic vendors/creators/etc. I really enjoyed this Tatertot Con and can't wait for when they plan the next one!
