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:

Plus swag bags!Better shot of the fairy lights
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!
R2D2 visited our booth!
Friday morning, an entire parade of R2 units that went by, which you can watch in Raven’s video below.

Time to pack up and tear down!And that’s a wrap! Until next time, Portland! (Which will be Geek the Halls in December!)
Books & Chains will be vendors at GeekGirlCon 2017 in Seattle!
We’re excited to be vending there this year. You can find out more about this convention at www.geekgirlcon.com. You can see our full EVENTS calendar HERE.
Books & Chains will be at Galaaxar Pop Culture Marketplace in Issaquah, WA on Sunday, October 15. More details here: https://www.facebook.com/galaxaar/
Due to the typhoon scheduled to hit WA state, Books & Chains will not be attending Central City Comicon this weekend.
It is for the our safety and that of our families that we had to make this difficult decision. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to see you at C4 next year.
Elise and Raven had a fantastic time at Anglicon 2016! This was our booth at the beginning of the convention. We came out with 4 boxes of books and left with only 1! Always a great thing to have happen as a vendor.
We ran out of Jelly Babies halfway through Saturday, but our booth dragon laid some “eggs” overnight for Sunday. Besides selling a ton of books and chainmaille jewelry, we met some very amazing Whovians! We definitely hope to be at the next Anglicon in December 2017!
