Music Vendor 2024

Hi! I am trying to find the website or the name of a vendor at Eccc 2024 and 2023. I bought an eccc exclusive Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time vinyl from them in 2023 and a Zelda Lofi cd from them in 2024. They mostly sold video game music and lofi, I want to find them so I can get some of their minecraft music. The 2024 vendor list does not exist anymore ☠️.

Cosplay size limits

Does anybody know if there are limits on cosplay size? I am about to begin work on a Space Marine cosplay but I am unsure if I would be allowed to actually enter the con wearing it due to how large it'd be. If I am unable to enter the con wearing the cosplay is there any other way to bring it in? Thanks for any information anyone's got

can you recycle ECCC badges?

Hi, I’ve gone to ECCC for two years in a row, but I have no idea what to do with the badges now. I want to make sure I’m disposing of them properly. Do I throw them away or can they be recycled? Should I take them to like, a Walmart, with their own recycling bin where you can recycle more stuff?

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Vendor search - custom hard bound books

Hello, I attended ECCC on Friday and Saturday this year. There was a medium sized vendor in the main hall that had custom hard bound books for sale, and I can't recall the name or stall number. They had classic sci-fi and fantasy that had been rebound with custom leather work.

Anybody know their name or website?

Thank you!

I made a silly, fun Comic Con Montage at this years Emerald City Comic Con 2024! :)

Here's a link:

Emerald City Comic Con 2024 Fun Cosplay Montage | 4k

Warning: There are a lot of sudden camera movements/360 camera movements that may be nauseating for some people! But aside from that I worked really hard on this! Enjoy! Please watch in 4K (2160p) if you can! (The 360 camera spreads 5.7K into two lenses and the image quality disperses quite a bit)

If you are in this video or know someone that was featured in this video, please message me via Reddit, YouTube comments or Instagram so I can properly credit their hard work and link their socials! All links in the video description!

I am not a professional video producer. I am just a silly little guy with a 360 camera! Had tons of fun meeting all the cosplayers, dancers and exhibitors as well as filming and editing the whole process. Was an extremely fun experience!

Watch until the end for good luck!

3D Printed Animal Vendor, HELP!

Hey all, I cannot find the name of the shop on the 2nd level exhibitor's area that was selling cute 3D printed dragons, ferrets, and other little critters. It appears that the ECCC site does not list the correct person at that specific booth (opposite someone selling Ocarinas). Any clue on what the name of this sellar is?? Thanks!

Can you watch the panels online somewhere if you missed them?

I read a couple times the panels would be available for viewing online afterwards but I haven't been able to find anywhere to watch them.

COMIC meet & greet VIP tickets--who were the comics?

We purchased comic VIP tickets and ended up not able to attend, so we sold them. But I'm curious how the comic artist meet and greet part went? I don't remember seeing any announcements where that info was shared? Did anyone attend these or the celebrity VIP meet & greets?

Private meet and greet opportunities with special comic guests (Autograph signings will be limited to one item per person. Guests will be decided by ECCC and will be announced at a later date.)

Summer con?

After eccc I'm itching for next year already, but has anyone been to summer con in Puyallup? It seems pretty comparable in size to eccc but I'm just wondering your guys' input. Can it be a multi-days worth of events like comic-con?

ECCC 24’

Thoughts on 2024 Emerald City Con…

I love Seattle. I will probably still aim to come here annually, but not for this con. It’s terrible. We have tried for three years and at first we assumed it was post pandemic issues, but things this year was worse than last year. They boast big con goers numbers, but there is no way they are from 4-day passes. The panels are lackluster, and if there is anything worth attending (that is not on the main stage) then the rooms are so tiny that they reach capacity very quickly. [here is a great panel, but we can only sit 40-60 people] The rooms were so small that even people with disabilities didn’t have a shot at seeing things. (Or was my experience. There wasn’t even a place for someone with a disability to sit while waiting the few times I tried.) This year they had a couple of big names, but literally a couple. And nothing worth throwing $350 at, for sure.

Getting into and out of the building was incredibly organized. However, things such as their table top gaming was such a ridiculously hot mess. No one had any idea what was going on in advance (including the person in charge of D&D). It took 3 days to get things a little better, but it was still a disaster. Other cons allow GMs to sign up even months in advance. The players, too! (And they all show up!!!) Here you were lucky if a GM had a day to prepare? If you were a player you needed to be the first in the door when they opened to even see what games were being offered that day and when… Last year Artemis was amazing and a ton of fun. People were looking for it! You could do that all day long last con and it ran like clock work. This year there was no Artemis due to lack of space (so I was told), except there were several mostly empty tabletop gaming rooms Thursday and Friday, there were hardly any GMs and players didn’t show or left after less than an hour, and there were two rooms I passed frequently every single day and never saw a single person inside of them.

I want to see more authors in BIG panels. Fun, engaging authors. I feel like there was about 10% or less of this compared to other cons I attend annually. In Atlanta at con there are authors who take up multiple ballrooms. Hundreds and sometimes THOUSANDS of seats (and they fill to capacity)! AND THEY ARE INFORMATIVE AND HILARIOUS!

There were even two nerdy “singles” events planned at ECCC this year, except those rooms were also open to everyone 21+ all day long. One guy walked around every single table asking about the event. Very few said they were there for it. Most people were ignored, and I saw about 10 people standing to chat (for this “event”) before leaving a few minutes because there WAS NO ORGANIZATION. Slapping something in an app and giving it a name does NOT make it an event.

How can such a big name “run” a con when few seem to be in charge, the ones that are have no clue what they are doing, and there were more than a dozen things on ECCCs app that literally had NO description listed if you clicked on the event.

Maybe I’m the weird one out, but if I’m spending money on a ticket and 5 days in a hotel, I want the event to be better run than what my 12 year old nephew can pull off.

These are my personal opinions.

To ECCC staff: You have potential, but you have really dropped the ball. Your programming is sub par and your lack of organization will drive away people who love an amazing con.

To those who are newer attendees of ECCC…there are SO many better cons. Don’t let this keep you from finding one to enjoy.

I was at ECCC on Saturday, and saw a beautiful print with blue background and foxes, at Artist Alley. I had to go but meant to stop by later but forgot. I did not get the name of the artist. Anyone have any suggestions?

What booth is jhonan Vasquez at in the artist alley?

The app sucks this year, there is no information about exhibitors or artists except that they exist. I've been having a really hard time tracking down my favorite artists. Do we know what booth he's at, or if he's even still here?

F*** EPIC!

I am furious. I was hosting a single geeks meetup and because of the incompetence and the apparent lack of a IQ over 50 of the staff at EPIC I was not able to even go. They didn’t do photo times correctly, the staff didn’t care I was having an anxiety attack from the stress since I’m autistic. They go “oh well there’s nothing we can do” I had such a high stress level I screamed F*** at the top of my lungs. I went to Tom Kenny told him what happens he said he was sorry that I went through that and I asked him for a hug and he went “I thought you’d never ask” at any rate I no longer will give any of my money to reedpop until they fire EPIC photos and hire a more incompetent company! From now on my money is going to Summer Con

Looking for a booth… retro pokemon action figures?

Hey all I’ve been at ECCC for two days and haven’t found this booth I enjoyed from previous years I’m wondering if I’ve just missed it or if it’s really not here anymore.

It sold retro pokemon stuff, gameboys, nintendo plushes but what I liked the most was the free pick bins of the retro pokemon action figure minis

Has anyone spotted this booth or these 90s pokemon action figures? If so where!

Saturday art auction happening?

ECCC typically has a charity art auction that happens every Saturday night but I haven't seen any indicators for it this year. It isn't always in the app, and it tends to be linked to the Monsters & Dames book which looks like isn't happening this year which would be the first time in a while.

Has anyone heard or seen that the art auction is still happening this year?
