Day One was very interesting. Admittedly, this was the first time our CBS colleagues like to eloquently put “being on the other side of the fence”. After years of going to Comic Con as a con-goer and partying all night, so far as we expected, this has changed drastically. Its one thing to visit the booths, its another to present as we found ourselves constantly promoting the product doing our floor time. Its different for sure, but its just another aspect of our beloved hobby.
One of the highlights of the day was seeing person who was blind be guided to touch and really feel our Star Trek XI shirt. Watching him was really the epitome of why we do this. If being able to hold the weight of the fabric in his hand and feel the print of the pattern as he ran his fingers on the surface, somehow contributed to his “experience” of the movie, we’ve accomplished what we’ve set out to do.
The first day ended as it started – still working !
Tomorrow is the first full open day (yesterday night was just preview night). This will be a mad house.
Additionally we’ll also be showcasing the long awaited, Viper Pilot prototype.
Good night folks !
