In the first live podcast for Part-Time Comics, Anthony and Keith talk about how they prepare when attending and exhibiting at comic conventions.
Both Keith and Anthony will be attending this year's San Diego Comic-Con (July 23 – 26, 2009) in seat JJ-17 of Artists' Alley. With comic conventions on their minds, they discussed a short convention prep list that Keith posted to the community blog for Staple! several months ago. Later, they chatted about how they prepare for conventions as fans and as exhibiting professionals. Toward the end of the podcast, Keith set some goals for this convention, based on past successes at Staple! expo of recent years. Finally, both creators will be podcasting live on Friday during the convention, either from the convention floor or after the day is done.
