The ACA has a table at the Impact Comics festival this Sunday in Canberra. Similar to the thing the ACA does with Supanova, members are welcome to come along and offer books, draw caricatures or whatever. It’ll be a bit of fun too! Just let Jules Faber know that you’re on your way.
(NOTE: The ACA is unable to sell merchandise on your behalf)
This from Mal at Impact...
Less than 5 days to go!
Now is the time to double check your convention kit.
- Have you got all your stock, planned a cash float (and a card reader if you get that fancy)
- Hat and sunscreen?
- Costume?
- Have you planned how you are getting here?
Rain!
OK, OK, don't panic.
This is the fourth year running that the bureau has conspired with the various weather gods to try to scare us off this event. For the record, the Festival has never been cancelled or relocated.
- Unless you booked a whole tent you will be sharing with others.
- creators sit in the middle and face out to customers on all sides.
- A full table is 2.4m long (so a half table is 1.2m)
- There are no tablecloths, so bring your own if you need one.
- There is no back wall behind you, but there is room in front of your table for pop up banners etc.
(and creative types have worked out how to hang things from the tent roof in previous years) - bring lots of suscreen and hats, it can get a bit sunny.
- consider paperweights or clips, the wind can kick up unexpectedly and create mayhem.
The current prediction is that somewhere near Canberra has a very high likelihood of a light sprinkling of rain at some stage during Sunday. We are pretty lucky in the city and due to some geographical quirk, it seems most light rain actually bypasses us.
We’ll be monitoring the BOM website and radars like we are reading the matrix and will make changes if need be.
