More Comic-Con News Mike Grell and Mike Baron At Mile High Comics
Howdy!
A couple of quick updates to our Denver Comic-Con Opening Night Party:
First, I have been asked by several folks recently about the cost of our party. It is completely free of charge. Individual creators may be charging for autographs, sketches, and/or photo ops, but that is strictly at their discretion. Attending our party on Thursday evening is completely free.
The second question I have been asked is about refreshments. We will have free bottled water, plus pizza slices, soft drinks, and small sandwiches for sale for $1 each. There will also be a huge bake sale run by the Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire. The bake sale will feature all kinds of donated baked goods, with all the net proceeds being donated to the Denver Children's Advocacy Center, a safe house for kids who have been victims of sexual abuse.

Third, it is important for everyone to understand that we cannot allow any outside merchandise of any kind into the Jason St. store during our party. With upwards of 3,000 fans visiting us that evening, our security advisers have told us that we have no choice but to refuse access to anyone who brings a backpack, coat, overly large purse, or any comics, books, posters, etc. NO outside items for autographing will be allowed. We will have 30-35 folks running security that evening, and they will absolutely be requiring receipts for anything leaving the building. Just think of us as operating our exits similarly to Costco, and you get the general idea...

On a related topic, please anticipate needing to park at some distance from the store that evening. Our party officially begins at 5 PM, but I think that all of the parking in our lot will be long gone by then, as will nearby free spots on the street. That really isn't a problem, however, as long as you don't mind walking a couple of blocks. There are hundreds of free spots on the streets around the Mega-Store. In addition, we have arranged with a school just two blocks south of Jason St. to let our guests use their 100-car lot. Finally, we will have a bus stop set up right in front of our door for our shuttle bus that we are operating from the downtown Hyatt. When the bus is not there, we will be using that spot to allow drop off of passengers of all kinds, as well as donations for the bake sale.

As regards our Cosplay costume contest, it begins at 7:30 PM,and will feature $2,000 in store credit prizes. Pam Brandle will be running the Cosplay costume contest, and she has all the details about how to enter. Write to her at
pamb@milehighcomics.com.
The 24 top costumes will be included in our YouTube video of the party! If you are creating a costume for the Comic-Con, why not test it at our party?

Finally, our Cosplay performance show by the talented members of the Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire is shaping up to be incredibly fun! It will begin at 7 PM, and will absolutely blow your mind. Imagine thirty live rock and roll performances featuring dynamic choreography and lip-synching, with all the performers dressed in superhero and fantasy costumes. I promise you that this show will be a hoot! We have built an special performance stage in the Jason St. Mega-Store for this one event, with seating for for about 150-200 viewers. I highly recommend arriving early, and reserving your chair for this fun show as early as possible...
