Rose City Comic Con Wrap-Up!

Rose City Comicon

This past weekend was our first time vending at Rose City Comic Con in Portland, OR, and it was a blast! So much excellent cosplay (some of which you can see over on Raven’s Wrap-Up post), geeky people, and fun guests. We had quite a blast chatting with all of you! Here are some photos from our weekend:

We gave out 300 swag bags full of autographed goodies, coloring pages, and a chainmaille dangle made from maille that was created for NASA’s Mars Insight mission. The pieces were highly limited in quantity so those who got one were quite lucky!
