I had the esteemed pleasure of attending Tri-State Comic Con in Huntington, West Virginia last April.  Now in its third year, Tricon has become the largest comic-centered show in West Virginia. Thought it still remains a one-day show, it has been recognized for gaining the participation of the best and most active creators in the comic community. And while these attractions bring people through the door, the show’s primary interest is to help shine a spotlight on independent creators in the region. Be sure to read my thoughts on the show and, after the break, check out my interview with one of the key members of the TriCon team, James Maddox.

2014 Convention Season is Here!

Whoa buddy, it's going to be an exciting year for Kentucky Geek Girl. I'm excited to announce that I've already committed to six conventions this year in the greater Kentucky area. I'll be participating in panels and discussions at several of these shows and am super excited about it! If you're interested in having me as a guest at your convention, feel free to let me know!

More after the break!

TriCon returns to Huntington in one week!

And the KGG con-voy keeps on rolling! Next stop... Tri-State Comic-Con in beautiful Huntington, West Virginia!

After a successful start in 2012, Tri-State Comic-Con returns to Huntington-Ashland-Ironton metro with force! Moving from the summer to early spring, TriCon will be held on April 6 from 10 AM to 6 PM at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena. One of the coolest things about this convention for me personally is that it's in my own back yard. Being from near Ashland, in the tiny hamlet of Flatwoods, KY, I think it's absolutely spectacular that my hometown now has a convention of its very own. Makes me proud!
