MXR is a Mixer…and Their Team Knows How to Mix AND Mingle!
Posted by nancy on March 13th, 2012 at 10:42 pmSimple, straightforward, tasty and well-run! This product is part of the Dr. Pepper/Snapple group and the folks at this booth were greeting, pouring, and sampling up a storm. http://www.mxressentials.com/ We also sampled a million different octopii (slight exaggeration) but absolutely adored the taste and servers at Octopus Garden. It's tough to make this sea creature look attractive, but this team did it! ... -

Food, Stoves and Squid (Lots of Squid!)
Posted by nancy on March 13th, 2012 at 10:33 pmThe best way to attend this show is HUNGRY! Lots of free samples and an eclectic mix of snacks, equipment, services. This year featured a huge Japanese section. We also noticed LOTS and LOTS of bread! One would never know that Americans are carb-conscious these days. But our favorite booth of this year's show had to be the grilled octopus on the panini press. Not only was the food delish, but the guys who served it up were all smiles and service! Lots of tentacles...lots of taste..... -

It’s not yo’ momma’s comics! Comic-Con 2010
Posted by nancy on October 18th, 2010 at 3:29 pmFrom the minute we got within steps of Javits, we knew we had landed on a new planet. With 100,000+ fervent comic fans, Comic-Con has placed itself as one of the leading players in the convention world. So channel your inner geek…and enjoy the side-splitting, attention-grabbing booths and cast of characters (literally) we encountered at Comic-Con New York. From fans (hundreds of thousands of them) who showed up in costume to do what fans do best (promote their passion)...to entertain... -

Comic-Con – Show People: Divas and Rock Stars
Posted by nancy on October 18th, 2010 at 3:22 pmWe love seeing CEOs, and in this case self-proclaimed comic book writers/artists, dedicating their time to adoring fans and selling their work. These trade show rock stars/divas man their booths for many hours and play an active role in representing their companies to prospective clients and of course, those crazed fans out there. Archie Comics have sold 1.5 billion copies worldwide in many different languages, it is no wonder Dan Parent, the artist of the Archie Comics, is our rock star. He beg... -

Comic-Con – Peep Show: Behind-the-Scenes
Posted by nancy on October 18th, 2010 at 3:16 pmThe newest, not necessarily the coolest trends buzzing in the comic world Women superheroes. As much as it sounds great, it’s not. We have seen our fair share of sex appeal rather than heroism. Girls Go Glam Rock: Bandai's K-ON, a four-girl band based on a comic series about a four Japanese high school girls who join their school’s light music club to save the abolition of music. They definitely rocked the floor! High priced comic books: There were numerous comic boo... -

Just on the first day alone, there were 22 famed actors awaiting signatures. The Red Demon was a defi... -

Comic-Con – Best of Show
Posted by nancy on October 18th, 2010 at 2:33 pmWe dedicate this section to the creative masterminds who went above and beyond the traditional comic book. These are the booths that made us stop in our tracks and take notice. The Art of Brick was a site to see. A large-scale sculpture was built just using toy building blocks. Bricks are definitely the new clay. Origami Comics: Ken Wong of Comics Art Rash immediately stopped us in our tracks with his cool and trendy way to package comics. Comic book, can you tell us our fort... -

Comic-Con – Freak Show: Gaffes and Snoozes
Posted by nancy on October 18th, 2010 at 2:12 pmSince Comic-Con is considered the cirque-du-freaque of shows, we had to sift through what was "normal" and what was well..plain inappropriate. The winners are.. Desparate Salesmen. (No, I don't want to buy your porn comic, no matter what you drop the price to.) Eating at the booth (This is not a food show... and Javits has a food court for a reason!) Booths with no one in them. Dressing like a super-hero when you haven't been to the gym in five years. Spandex is unforgiving, d... -

Posted by nancy on July 28th, 2010 at 8:20 pmTwo sections are necessary here: Head-Turners and Big-Bang…Small Budget. Head-Turners: Striking, eye-catching, irresistible booths. Money well spent for these exhibitors! El Paso Chile turned their booth into a bar and attracted audiences with their brightly colored drink-mixes used as décor. Parking Permitted! The "car in the booth" is always a traffic stopper. Twinkle, twinkle little booth. Flashing lights adorned a basic banner. What a beautiful way to shine on the floor! ... -

Posted by nancy on July 28th, 2010 at 8:17 pmWe love trade shows. We love fancy things. We love food. So…what could possibly be better than a trade show about fancy food?
