Loaded Dice Episode 72: A Con-versation with Rob from Connecticut Comiconn at Mohegan Sun

August 10, 2015

 
CONNNNNNN!!
You’ve been to comic book conventions.  You’ve seen the fascinating sights, smelled the interesting smells and you’ve got your picture taken with a celebrity that your nerd friends (and only your nerd friends) know.  You had a fantastic experience, and you’ll never be the same after connecting with other members of your tribe.
But have you ever wondered what goes into the actual production of a con?  We here at Loaded Dice sure did.
Join Kevin Dubs, Evan and Maya as they pick the brain of Entertainment Director and Events Coordinator for Comiconn at Mohegan Sun (aka Terrificon…but SHHH!!!) in Uncasville, Connecticut (going on August 14-16), Rob.
Rob, in addition to being a charming and and engaging guest, drops knowledge bombs about con logistics, the cutthroat nature of the con market, Star Trek, getting deals in writing, cosplaying and How Not To Be A Dick.
Maya also returns with an awesome, patented Maya Segment™ (c’mon, Dubs, you worked in IP law; you know patents and trademarks aren’t the same thing! -ed) (stop talking to yourself on the internet, Dubs. -ed) in which she relates the history of comic book conventions.
Don’t miss out on the fun; listen to this episode of Loaded Dice Cast.
Remember, we’re running a promotion giving out ShadowRun keys (thanks to the Alfred to our collective Batman, BK) if you leave us an iTunes rating and review AND THEN come back here and post comment to let us know the love you sent out into the world (and what name you posted under…that’s important).
Rob has also selflessly pledged to give FREE HUGS to anyone that mentions this podcast at Comiconn at Mohegan Sun.  Unfortunately, as a member of the Loaded Dice Network, I am legally precluded from winning any promotions we sponsor.  I really want a Rob hug, though.
