aardvark88 11,035 posts Posted July 1 Anyone going to this brand new Geektopia convention in downtown Vancouver, BC, Canada at the Parq Casino's Harbour Convention Center 760 Pacific Blvd.? Promoter is hoping it will be an exciting event with cosplay contest. 6' vendor's table still available at $350. Admission at the door $40 for Sat. July 6, 2019 billed as a 'comic convention.' So far, I know of 1 comic back issue vendor selling there. Best of luck, and we will see if Vancouver can support another Fan Expo type show.

I have my new suite to focus with prepping for move-in and that took up all my time this summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comicsam 103 posts Posted July 4 Hmm, $40 a ticket seems a bit much for what they have on the guest list. Probably past for this year. Like you said, I do hope they can grow from this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did not see any Geekfest flyers at GA Collectables, Taz, Hourglass Comics, Imperial Hobbies, Comics Scene or Big Pete's but latter is in the middle of moving his shop so in disarray.
