Ssalefish GSO First Look #178 for 9.30.20
Officially starting up the engine on the hype-train for Mask Con 2020, taking place Saturday, October 10th at the Lexington Cinemas new drive-in theater facility! That’s right, it’s OUTSIDE (with a rain date of the following Saturday, October 17th), and we’ll have a brand-new 30,000 $1 book collection out for sale among the 25 other (and counting) dealers!
To keep attendee capacity at a safe level, there will be a 10 AM - 2 PM session and a 2 PM - 6 PM session with admission at $5 each or $8 for both. All vendor tables will be spaced at least 8’ apart to maintain social distancing, and masks must be worn by folks on both sides of the table at all times.
If you’re an aspiring artist or comic retailer, this is a fantastic, low-cost opportunity to get your name out there with 6’ Artist Alley tables at just $35 and 8’ vendor tables at $60.
