After months of uncertainty about my participation in the first real convention of popular media in my country, I got a call two day ago, and became amazingly surprised.
 
But we have to go way back to get the full story...
 
Many months ago, in july to be exact, I was promoting the event APERTURA 2010, the biggest one-day event in my country that deals with anime, manga, movies, comics nad popular culture, in diferent media, and in one radio station I had the opportunity to meet Ivan Degay, a radio personality with a respected and long trajectory, and between all the stuff we delt promoting APERTURA, we had a time to chat and exchange contacts.
 
Time after that, he called me to assemble some of the people responsable of APERTURA and we had a meeting, and he told us about a proyect he had for this december, EXPO CINE, TV & WEB, a venture that involves 3 days of fair with in which many movie studios will be present with booths, advances of his next proyects, so will be television chanels and groups representin popular culture, and he wanted us nto be in it, we got a big smile on our faces, that turned to a worried expression when they told us the price of each booth; they were too expensive for us to pay, so we told him that we will think of a deal to lower the cost but for them togain something for it. Then months passed and I put my sight in other personal proyects.
 
During that time, mini-convention called "Ciudad Anime" was created by my friends behind APERTURA, and appeared in many events, last one being a week ago, the success of it lead them to talk with Mr. Degay and his crew, and they approved the idea, so they gave us the booths without cost. I received the call , like I said earlier, two days ago and I am preparing for that event, in which I plan to take many pictures and post some here, for you to see how was the reception of the comic book comunity in that convention.
 
Wish me luck guys, that this I hope be one of many activities comics will be involved, before 2011, when I'm planning a comic centered event. For now I'go to the movies today, that after months of waiting, THE EXP{ENDABLES finally arrived to our country (being an independent film, his arrival take much longer than actual blockbusters), and I assemble our own version of a "meet and greet" with many followers of my blog.
