How, come on, you walked around, how awesome is? It is pretty awesome. It's great this year. By the way, this is Comic Eastmeek, episode 420. I forgot that that's how we had to start it. I could edit that in later. I'm Brian Christman. You're St. Kelly. I'm St. Kelly. You're Peter Rio. Yeah, Peter Rios. This is Day 1, right? Friday, Friday, what, why don't you know, what day it?

0:24.0

April? I'm San Kelly. You're Peter Rio. Yeah, Peter is. This is day one, right? Friday. What, I don't even know what day is? April 18th, 2018. Friday, April. Okay. And New York Comic-Con, still the trade hours right now, but it is amazing. It is, I love the layout this year. This is really, I mean, it's exciting.

0:37.9

It's mini San Diego.

0:39.4

It is mini San Diego.

0:40.4

It absolutely is.

0:42.1

It's probably if you took all the comic stuff out of San Diego,

0:45.1

this is what it would be.

0:46.7

You know what I mean?

0:47.9

Like without all the movies stuff.

0:48.8

I didn't really see too much other than comics or toys or art. I didn't really see any bootleg DVD. No, no, no, no. No, no. No, no. Oh, you did. There are a couple swords fans, yep. I didn't walk around that much. And the early buzz is that it'll be the same way like this next year. Even though the dates are going to move, the floor, same space. We confirmed with management that they have the exact same space here next year. Oh wow, okay. Did they announce the exact dates? No, not yet. Okay. I think they're on the website. Okay. I think they're on their website. But it's cool, right? I mean, it's like there's stuff happening. It's awesome. It seems like people can get in easy. Oh yeah. There are all the entrances. I do think the aisles are wider this year. Oh my God, absolutely. Now maybe not the aisle's themselves. Oh no, no, no, they're a lot wider. Compared to last year? Did you have to go back and forth? Yes. Oh, that was insane.

1:45.0

Well, wait till tomorrow.

1:46.0

Well, yeah, but still, it's much wider.

1:48.0

If nothing else, these aisles are cute. I mean, if it's as big as this, then it definitely is bigger. No, they're not. They're not. I know. So that could be a little tight. But it's still... sort of wish the artist alley was like a little more central.

1:59.0

Yeah.

2:00.0

Yeah, it's the other side of the con for where we are.

2:02.0

Well, I don't mean for us.

2:03.0

I just mean for them. artist alley was like a little more central yeah you know like other side of the con where we are

2:01.9

well i don't mean for us i just mean for them like you know what i mean like when you look at all the

2:07.5

publishers that like artist alley that should be one of your draws too so i would rather see them

2:13.2

not in the middle of the convention but just you know where we are put them in the and then, you know, over there. So that's my own personal preference. To me, it looks like small press while it's there, there's other things strung about it. So it's not quite what I expected. But it's pretty central. I mean, there's a lot of people who've got some great booth spaces in the area. And here's that Indiana Jones's spot. Oh, my God they're Marian. Marion. That's awesome. All right. I'm surprised the other men with the gun. Yeah, with the gun. Yeah. Doesn't have an orange tip. Orange tip-up. No, it doesn't. It's cool. Very cool. Do you want to go ask them some questions? Do you want to? you know Indiana Jones more than I do. Oh, there they go. They walk by. All right, next time. We'll get them when they come back.
