Next week on June 25-26, I will be hawking wares at Politicon at the Pasadena Convention Center. Stop by and say hi.
What is Politicon? A fair question. I hadn't heard of it before they contacted me. This is how they describe themselves on their website:
“This June, Politicon will be toasting to a second term as the quintessential non-partisan event of the year. In honor of the impending presidential election, we’re upping the ante with some of the biggest names in politics and the wittiest voices in comedy and entertainment, representing all sides of the political spectrum.”
They do have an impressive line-up of politicians and pundits - like Sen. Barbara Boxer, Chuck Todd, James Carville, Nate Silver, Ann Coulter (gag) and even Sarah Palin (gag, cough, gag). Even former Mexican president Vicente Fox will be there, for some reason. Think of it like Comic-Con for people who obsessively watch cable news. I'm not sure whether or not anyone will dress up like, say, Donald Rumsfeld or John Maynard Keynes but I sincerely hope that someone does.
Anyway, I'll be at the Democracy Village area and I'll be selling a few new prints (naked Trump anyone) and, if they get here in time, a handful of Veeptopus T-shirts. Hope to see you there.
