Intervention 2012 is happy to announce it’s first round of guests for the 2012 event. We have a great collection of returning guests from our previous years, and a notable new guest of Danielle Corsetto, creator of Girls with Slingshots. We have many other guests in the works, so expect some huge announcements over the next few weeks.

This is just the beginning of the chaos….

We just wanted to let everyone know a bit of a preview of upcoming announcements for Intervention 2012.

We are in the process of signing guests for this year, and expect to have the first round of confirmed announcements in the next week. We expect to have even more guests than our already overwhelming previous 2011 and 2010 line ups.

We are starting our Artist Alley / Vendor submission reviews this weekend, so we will also be announcing our first group of confirmed vendors soon as well. (and there’s still time to apply)

It also looks like we’ll be hosting a fun photo op set up that will make you feel like you’re in “The Future” (or just going back to it).

And on the sponsors front, it seems like we can’t hold them back from wanting to be more involved this year, so expect even bigger giveaways and offers for attendees than even our epic last year haul of goods.

Things are shaping up behind the scenes, so get ready for the wave of stuff to hit the front page soon. It’s still the best time to register for the event since we’re currently offering our “Early Owl” rate of only $30 for the entire weekend. Buy your registration now here.

It is that time again – you can come and meet us in person at Katsucon at the Gaylord National in MD from Feb. 17-19. That is this coming weekend!

We will be giving away samples of Black Black caffeinated gum from Japan courtesy of ThinkGeek! These are sure to go fast, so I have to tell you that this is while supplies last only! :D Find our table in the dealer’s room! We will also have Think Geek catalogs with a discount code and stickers for you!

If you register for our con in person at Katsucon, you get the

Seal-Slappingly Captain Ridiculous Low Rate of $30

for THE WHOLE WEEKEND of geek funs.

Just a quick note to let you know that we are in the final stages of the website rewrite to make things easier to read through. We also will be updating the site with the form from where artists and vendors can register to exhibit.

If you are curious about all of that, you can get a general idea of how we did it by looking through “Archive” on our top bar.

We are back from Magfest this weekend and wanted to thank you all for purchasing all of our squeaky owls. Many of you registered as well. Meeting you and talking with you really inspires us to make this con even better every year. Thank you!

If you’d like to see pictures from this weekend, you can see them on our Facebook as well.

We Intervened and Inspired this weekend at Magfest in Maryland:

We sold our squeaky owls – when you purchase one of these you also are donating to support the event. We SOLD OUT of all of them:

I was drawing some comic goodness at the table. This will be a comic over at Onezumi.com in the next few days:

Janice, our new Exhibition Hall coordinator made this for me! SQUEE:

We love our friends over at Squishable.com. If you attended a last Intervention, you had a really great chance of winning one of these guys:

For once, I remembered to wear my Intervention T- Shirt. PROOF:

I played SO MANY games in the arcade room at Magfest. This was less than half of the room – more like 1/8th of the room. It was huge in reality:

Ghostbusters car:

I hope you all had a great weekend! I now have a flat tire from my trip home. Nothing goes perfectly in life, but if you keep thinking positively things will be great! :D
