SDCC SideKick guest slot at GLOBAL FIGURE SYMPOSIUM Booth

July 17, 2011 - no comments. Posted by in Events.

We have a slot!  At an official Booth!

Come visit as at the Con, 5 pm Saturday, at the GLOBAL FIGURE SYMPOSIUM Booth #4397.

This is a last minute surprise, and we are excited.

Onell design studios is running the booth, and gave us the slot.  It had been reserved for someone else who turned out to be a flake, so we got the last minute nod to fill in.
We’ll have Suckpax series 2 and The Art Hustle series 2 for sale, and will be giving away promo cards.
