Hey all,
Is anyone going to the Steel City Con?
I just got involved with the "Krofft" part of the Con recently when I joined up with Tim Bendig at In Person Productions and Ethan Tudor W.
Weird, happened out of the blue... as a lot of you know, I make t-shirts and Ethan had found my Krofft Productions Logo shirt on Red Bubble (not even my own t-shirt site!) and contacted me about getting shirts for the Krofft Superstars (who he's friends with) Wesley Eure, Kathy Coleman, Butch Patrick and Johnny Whittaker.
That evolved into me talking with Tim (who puts that part of the show together) and we are forming a business relationship now due to his love for promoting/merchandising of t-shirts and retro nostalgia, just like myself.
Anyways, I ended up designing a Krofft Superstar Reunion Tour Convention shirt exclusively for the Con. Here's a sneak peak (we kept it simple for cost and testing the market):
More designs for future shows will be coming, but for now it's just this and very limited quantity since I had to front the money.
I'm getting autographs, pictures, etc from all of the Superstars and might be Skyped into a live broadcast Ethan is doing on his talk show "The Neverhood" with the cast members. Here's a link to his show:
The Neverhood Show Online Radio by EthanTudorW | Blog Talk Radio
He interviews EVERYONE from that era plus more. Some of you might enjoy it.
A pretty cool turn of events for me as it looks like I will be the exclusive shirt vendor for "KrofftCon" as it continues after Steel City Con. L.A. is the next stop, not sure when plus Tim is setting me up with other celebrities looking to mechandize through shirts. Ian Petrella ("Randy", Ralphie's brother from "A Christmas Story") is supossed to be contacting me to hook up and bang out a shirt for his character's infamous lines, "Oinki, Oink!" haha.
If you're a Krofft fan and can get to Pittsburgh this coming weekend, go! And tell me how it was! Wish I could go!!
