Hey everyone!
In case you missed our posts, last weekend (June 22nd) was the first-ever Bat-Con in Nitro, WV. This great convention was put on by the folks at Third Floor Comics, so you KNEW it was going to be a great time. Upon arrival, they had in the outer hallway a POP figure collection that was up for auction, the awesome Ghostbusters of WV, and life-size DC characters running amuck that made for some great photo-ops. In the actual gymnasium, there were quite a few vendors, artists, and event information booths. Among the many booths, we saw our pals Cody Booth with Sweet Kendamas, Eric Board with Forgotten Realms Gametorium, and of course the friendly faces of the Causeacon staff. We also got to see some artists such as Jen Saratori who had gore decorations, Sarah Armstead who made the coolest bath bombs that correspond to different fandoms, and Glen Brogan who absolutely rocked the show with all of his amazing illustrations.
While all of the exciting events were going on, such as the Bat-trivia, the Joker Laugh Contest (hosted by the one and only JR), and even a surprise wedding, we split our time between running our own custom-made version of Batman themed Werewolf and getting a lot of footage for a video to show you all what happened at the con. Bat-Con cemented itself in the Nitro community as a pop culture event for all ages, and the CATV staff seriously hope that they continue to make progress in the Nitro community to make more events like this one possible.
Thanks for having us Bat-Con!
