It’s convention season again! Afraid of the government trying to use us as guinea pigs for new and horrible flavors of bioneurological weaponry, we refused to be immunized, so now we are susceptible to this kind of thing. The first stop on the soon-to-be-infamous TopatoTour Oh-Ten is the Emerald City Comicon in lovely and spacious Seattle, Washington! ECCC is one of our favorite shows and we’re triple-excited to be fording the raging rivers of all you people and your lovable quirks. In attendance next weekend will be an unprecedented eighteen TopatoCo artists: we are talking your Jacqueses and your Hastingses; your Beatons and your Diazes, your Grans and Malkis and Greens and Logans and even — if you’re lucky and quiet and very, very patient — the fearsome silhouette of a Rosenberg riding a Rowland.

Here is a very handy PDF map of the show floor! It points out where all our people are going to be, but for the most part this is going to be very easy for you. You are going to come in the front door, turn slightly to the left, and OPEN YOUR EYES. There is really no way to miss us. But we also have some folks spread willy-nilly elsewhere in a transparent attempt to foil surveillance, so the map will be your handy scavenger-hunt clue-sheet that will lead you to a bounty of friendly folks and kind and wonderful delights.

The show will be at the Washington State Convention Center in downtown Seattle, Saturday and Sunday the 13th & 14th. All that info is on the PDF! So just download it I guess. And then come! Meet our people! Shake their hands and get their various signed, limited, special, and normal wares! This is what these things are for. The minute the show closes, we are going right back up into our ivory tower, but the foolhardy courts have granted you these several hours on these upcoming days. We hope you spend them with us!
