One week! One week! I can't believe it's only 7 days until we sound the horns and open the gates to C2E2 2012! It's the perfect time to start the weekend off with a bang by announcing a slew of awesome new Guests! Our next addition to the list has searched for one eyed Willie's gold, gone head to head with Notre Dame's finest football players and...
Chicago! Can you feel it? Are you ready? We're are just one short week away from opening the doors to C2E2 2012 and there's still a whole lot to do! My team is stocking up on Monster Rehab, dusting off our snazzy sneakers and putting the final touches on what's guaranteed to be the most epic pop culture party that Chicago has ever seen...
Badda bing, badda boom Chicago! We are a mere two and a half weeks away from the kick off of C2E2 2012 and I am so stoked! My motto has always been work hard, play hard and let the good times roll and that's exactly what we're bringing in April! We're set to make our Fans smile not only with our epic list of Comic and Entertainment Guests...
Sup Chicago! Anyone else on a zombie-high after watching the Season 2 finale of The Walking Dead this past weekend? Personally, I've found myself looking over my shoulder or out of my office door waiting for the next walker to jump out. In reality, it's just a fellow ReedPOP co-worker looking for some Monster Rehab in our late nights...
What's shakin' Chicago? On Any Sunday out of the year, I have this odd memory from my sixteenth birthday. It was without a doubt One Crazy Summer that year and as I stared into the Sixteen Candles on my cake, I remember thinking seriously about my future and what I hoped to one day become. Never did I think that in 2012...
What's shakin' Chicago? Last night I was convinced my house was haunted. No joke, I was wide awake, jumping at every sound, waiting to encounter a late relative at any moment. In all actuality, this "ghost" was really just my cat having an all out war with one of my flannels. I know that some of you can relate to this feeling of relief, but our...
What's happenin' Chi-Town? If you were ever given the opportunity to do an Interview With A Vampire, would you do it? I don't know about you but I'm not looking to waste my time with just any vampire; I'm looking to hang with an old school one that has lived for over 200 years and has a bad ass name like Lestat de Lioncourt...
What's happenin' Chi-Town? I've always longed for shoulder length hair for the simple fact of being able to head bang at rock n' roll concerts. You know what really gets me going? Epic guitar solos. I'll have to go out and get the necessary amenities for C2E2 because the rock star guitar player Tom Morello is coming to C2E2! To raise your adrenaline...
Bingo bango bongo Chicago! How many times have you wished you could travel back in time? I would go back and convince young me that letting my mom sew all my clothes in middle school was not the fashion choice that was going to win me friends. Or maybe that having my senior picture taken with a puppet would seem strange. Having just...
Happy March everyone, they say it comes in like a lion, so get ready to hear me roar with nerdy goodness! Can you believe that we are just six short weeks away from the legendary show they call C2E2! Fret not as there is BIG news on the horizon and we are brewing up a pop culture storm that will make landfall soon! You know what they say...
Sup Chi-Town! At the end of an intense video gaming sesh, have you ever been left wanting more? Well we've got some big news, the Dragon Age video game we all know and love has been adapted into film and will premiere at C2E2! Take advantage of this opportunity to meet some of the voices behind Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker...
What's happenin' Chicago? Have you ever been in a particularly dark, cold situation where blood sucking vamps seem to be lurking around every corner? Luckily for me, my naturally intimidating demeanor, style and permanent garlic necklace have made all forms of trouble turn and run the other way...
What's poppin' Chicagoans? Last night I dreamt of Batman fighting The Hulk, Jana the Jungle Girl swinging above my head in the trees and came face to face with The Swamp Thing. Why are these characters popping up during my nightly catnap? I just couldn't get the amazing work that our newest Comic Guests...
TGIF Chicago! C2E2 is getting bigger every day and we just can't hold back all of the awesomeness that we have in store for you! We decided to hit you with a special Friday edition of the newsletter and we've got some more big Guest Announcements to round out your week! How often do you get to meet the...
Roses are red, violets are blue and we've got some exciting C2E2 Guests to reveal as a Valentine's Day gift to you! I hope that you will want to be my nerdy Valentine after you hear who we have coming in April... What do you get when you put a vampire fighting, hilariously sardonic character mixed with die-hard pop culture fans?
Bazinga! We're giving double the Newsletters this week for a pretty delicious reason in fact! We have yet, another awesomely note worthy Guest Announcement, the one and only woman to ever conquer the fiery kitchens on Top Chef, Stephanie Izard! She's one of your own Chi-Town and we are salivating...
What's happenin' Chi-Town? As our good friend Egon Spengler once said, "Don't cross the streams, it would be bad." However, in this case it's a good thing to cross the streams as we create a pop culture explosion, the likes of which have never been seen before. We are now happy to announce our new partnership with Nerdist Industries...
Sup Chi-Town! I've been thinking a lot lately about what type of superhero I would be. I'm tall, witty, have top of the line vision (with my glasses on) and have about every color corduroy pants you could imagine. I'm going to be honest here, with those qualities I could slay any evil demon that steps in my way...
It's Friday, Friday, gotta have fun on Friday... ok I'll stop. As I've grown older, more good looking and of course wiser, I've realized that I have two great loves that have never dwindled. One being undead zombies and the other would be robots with British accents. I've always wished I could have my own C-3PO...
Hiiiyooooo! So I was driving around in my pimped out mini coop the other day, feeling oddly small compared to the other cars on the road and I got to thinking about the Mouse Guard series. What would you do if a tiny mouse came at you, dressed in a cape... with a sword? Personally...
Meeeeeyowwwww! So I was sitting at home the other night building a life size statue of Catwoman out of legos and I was thinking to myself, "what would make C2E2 even cooler this year?" We all know that the one thing that would make C2E2 even cooler is MORE COWBELL!...
What's poppin' Windy City? Is the weather making you feel colder than a Yeti hiding up in the Himalayas? Well, we're about to warm you up with our first big Entertainment Guest Announcement. I hope you're ready for some paranormal activities...
Happy New Year Chi-Town! Now that the celebrations are over and the confetti and party hats are put away, we're ready to continue the 2012 par-tay with a collection of Chicago based Guests coming C2E2's way this April...
