The Boys and Your amazing Sound Crew set the bar for the most incredible sound I ever heard come out of a PA system. My first time Taping was GD - RFK Stadium - June 9 & 10, 1973 - front-of-board. But first, I was a soundman for 3 years thanks to you.
Thanks to you and GD, I ended up having a career in electronics and pro audio/video.

The brand is all about nostalgia “for the deep fandom,” he said.

The Rubik’s cube and Polaroid prints have been very popular with buyers, she said, especially as they were exclusively made for Comic-Con. An interest in cosplay led her to make her own clothing, and then eventually open a full store to sell her skirts with fun prints and large pockets, among other clothing. While she has had booths for the last five years at WonderCon in Anaheim, this year is Braun’s first to exhibit her clothing designs at SDCC. “I think the retro influence has come back quite a bit in the past couple of years,” Braun says. “Kids like this stuff too,” Aggreh said, “but primarily, you’re speaking to some of the older adults with these designs.”įurther along the floor at the booth of Brittnee Braun, a clothing designer from Sherman Oaks, are skirts printed with Rubik’s cubes and characters from Super Mario Bros., originally released for Nintendo consoles in 1985.

There’s Stitch from Disney’s Lilo and Stitch surfing on hoodies, and Bart Simpson skateboarding on T-shirts.
Neff created licensed exclusives just for con-goers, from Spider-Man and Venom sweatshirts to Mickey Mouse backpacks. But whatever it is, plenty of businesses large and small are leaning in at the convention.Īccording to Aggreh, the booth has seen nearly 5000 people stop by from Wednesday’s Preview Night to Friday when we spoke. Maybe it’s “Stranger Things” reviving the ’80s era cool of Steven Spielberg movies and Stephen King novels.
