So many vendors.  So many old friends and So many new friends.
We wish we had more time to browse and visit all the other amazing vendors and artists, but our booth was busy all day!

Some GeekGirlCon'13 Pictures

Presenting the Larsen Family Adventures at GeekGirlCon'13.

Saw lots of old friends and a few bags and pouches from last year as well (that's quality).
Met tons of new friends.  Booth 304 was full of happy geeky people all weekened.
It was so much fun show our new art and gear to so many people.
Evelyn's bags flew off the rack.  And I couldn't keep the Doctor Who art in stock.
We handed out Golden Geekery Awards to everyone we could.
And you all shared your wonderful costumes and your incredible positive attitudes.
Our daughters, Chani and Siona, came and even helped out in the booth.
You guys are the reason why we make all our Geekery Gear.
Thanks for a fantastic show.

Oh, and the Staff at GeekGirlCon was excellent.
One of the best run shows on the West Coast.

Hey Toto, Welcome Back to Kansas

GeekGirlCon was so phenomenal, that it is hard to transition back to "normal" life.
Everyone at GGC were sooooo friendly and fun.  But in the "real world" people seem grumpy.
People look at you funny if you ask them what character they are cos-playing at the grocery store.
So I'd rather live in Geek World all the time.  There is a much higher percentage chance of meeting interesting people there.

The entire LarsenGeekery Family had a fantastic time and met so many incredible people.
We will try to get a more comprehensive and comprehendable post up here in the next day or so.
But we just want to say, Thank You Geeks for making GeekGirlCon Amazing!  And thanks to everybody that stopped by our Booth.

More later...

GeekGirlCon 13 is Right Around the Corner

Our next show is right around the corner

October 19 & 20th 2013, GeekGirlCon 13 - Seattle WA

GeekGirlCon is an amazing show for guys and gals with a focus on all things Geek from the point of view of girls and women.
Evelyn and I attended the very first GeekGirlCon two years ago and made up our minds to show at the very next one.  Last year's show was the highlight of our Show Schedule.  We had a blast and met so many fun and interesting people.  We made friends with people we can't imagine living without.

So we are very excited about sharing our interests and wares with GeekGirlCon again this year.
The studio has been a busy, busy place as we have been finishing up gear to bring to the show.

In addition to the two full days of programming, events, shopping and socializing that is the GeekGirlCon main event, there are also extra events, parties, concerts, etc.  So check out the GeekGirlCon website, reserve some tickets while they are still available, and look at all the great guests and events.  Bring your kids, it is an all ages show.

LarsenGeekery will see you there in Booth 304

Bellingham Comicon 13 was a Fantastic Show

We had a fantastic time at the Bellingham Comicon last Saturday, Oct 12th.
The crowd was fun and energetic.  Lots of families and lots and lots of costumes.
We were so busy all day we didn't have time to take many pictures.
But we had a great time meeting people and sharing our gear.
Evelyn showed off her new line of super hero skirts.
I had some new watercolor prints and new greeting card designs.
Got to draw a few commission sketches.
And Evelyn showed people that her TARDIS bags really are bigger on the inside.

A Golden Geekery Award goes to Eric and all the volunteers that made this a fun, well run show.
We are already looking forward to going back next year.
There are some great pictures on the Bellingham Herald website: CLICK

Now it is on to
October 19 & 20th 2013, GeekGirlCon 13 - Seattle WA
November 2nd 2013, Jet City Comic Show 13 - Tacoma WA

Thanks again everybody at Bellingham Comicon.

No Time Machine Needed

You don't need a time machine to geek out with us at some great geek shows.
You just have to go to Bellingham this Saturday,
Or Seattle the weekend after next.
Or to Tacoma...
You get the idea, Here is our Show Schedule:
October 12th 2013, Bellingham ComiCon 13 - Bellingham WA
October 19 & 20th 2013, GeekGirlCon 13 - Seattle WA
November 2nd 2013, Jet City Comic Show 13 - Tacoma WA

But if you want a TARDIS Greeting Card, you don't have to go to a show
(although I highly recommend it).  You can get one from our Etsy Shop as well.

I've got a bunch of new art work, prints, cards even some original art to share with you.
Evelyn has her great purses and bags as well as patches you can put on your own gear.
And we have some fun new magnets, Geek key chains and necklaces, and lots more.

So, come and see us at a show.
 -- Jay

Endless Possibilities

Human beings have an endless capacity for expression.  What is your art form?  How do you express it?  What effect does it have on you and those you share it with?
There are sooooo many things to be enthusiastic and up-beat about, why do we spend so much time freaking out and being down?

Oh, and Jet City tickets are on sale now.  November is not that far away....

MisCon 27 was an incredible show.

The whole Larsen Clan went to Missoula Montana for MisCon 27 last weekend.
4 days of Con and 2 days of travel.
We got home tired.  But our brains and hearts were full of lots of cool information, fun, and friendship.  The guest list was amazing.  Go to the MisCon web site to see all the names.
Evelyn was especially excited to meet Patricia Briggs (who writes Mercy Thompson) and Diana Pharaoh Francis.  I was happy to meet CJ Cherryh, whose books I have been reading for almost 30 years, and her friend Jane Fancher.
Siona took part in the writers workshops and got some great advice from MH Bonham of Sky Warrior Books.
Chani learned a lot about film making from Taryn Hough, whose film Electro-Cute won the MisCon Film Festival!
We discovered new talents and new friends.
We will definitely be back again, and if you have a chance to go to a MisCon, you should.

Just Back from Missoula

We just got back from a fabulous MisCon 4-day extravaganza in Missoula, Montana.
I will post a better post con post, with pictures, as soon as I get an extra 15 minutes.
Let it be known that the Larsens had a great time.  Met some of our favorite authors.  Met great artists, movie makers, editors and publishers.  Made new friends and added a must-attend Con to our schedule.

If we met you at MisCon, welcome to LarsenGeekery!  Drop us a note.  We are also on Facebook.

Go West Young Geeks!

Actually, we are headed East.  Seattle is about as far West as you can go.
But the Larsen Geeks are off to Missoula Montana for MisCon.  Montana's biggest Science Fiction Convention.  We are even taking the dogs.  It's a dog friendly show!  We won't be vending, just geeking out with the rest of the SciFi fans.  So if you are in Missoula this weekend, we will see you there.

Remember, if you can't make it to a show to see us, you can always get great LarsenGeekery Art, Comics, and Gear at our online store.  CLICK HERE for GEEKERY GEAR.  The Internet is standing by to take your order...

ECCC 13 Mashup

Here is the Emerald City Comicon 2013, in comic form, at least as we experienced it:
Your experience of ECCC may have varied.

Evelyn and I had a fantastic time.
We dressed up as Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch.
We met lots of great comics people.  Saw tons of vendors we know and love.
Bought way, way too much stuff.  (Can you have too many comics??)
The show sold out all 3 days.
I heard people say there were 20,000 people there.  I think I bumped into at least 10,000 of them.  Sorry about that.
May put up some more personal pictures later, or on Facebook.
So much Geeky energy gives me all sorts of Geeky ideas.
Got to get to work.
Thanks to everybody who worked so hard to put on the show, to show things at the show, to attend the show.  It really is a very friendly group of people.
ECCC 2013 was a Huge Success!
 -- Jay

ECCC 2013...WOW!!!

Emerald City Comicon 2013 was...WOW!!!
Jim and everybody put on a great show.
It deserves a better post, and I will create a better post.
But first we have to dig out from under the humongous pile of crap...I mean treasures that we acquired at the Show.
And we have some day-job-type tasks to do for people who don't understand how you can disappear for 3 days into a magical kingdom of Geek called Comicon!
Back Soon with a more coherent wrap up on the show...
