Comic-Con 2010: The Swag
Jul 26, 2010

Didn’t make it to Comic-Con? Never fear, true-believer, we’ve got your back. Well, bag anyway. Or in this case, bags.

In the sea of booth babes and street teams, we collected way more swag than we could ever use. And now, for one lucky nerd out there who wasn’t able to make it, we’ve assembled a lovely “I Missed Comic-Con And All I Got Was This Lousy Goodie Bag” bag. And what a bag it is.

But wait! There's more! Bags, that is.

“What’s inside?”, you ask? Well, for starters, MORE BAGS. Comic-Con is all about how many bags you have. 5, 10, 20, it’s never enough. You need more bags to carry the bags you have. And God forbid you collect any swag or buy any exclusive toys, because then you need, you guessed it, another bag! So there’s plenty of bags.

On the knick-knack front, we have such things as an Alien Facehugger on a stick, buttons from “The Walking Dead” and “Dexter”, as well as bookmarks and other miscellaneous bits & pieces.

On the Gold Class level, we have some high & mighty treasures, such as the “Starro” mask from Mattel’s Justice League of America toy line, Kenny Powers’ “Eastbound and Down” mullet-cap and a Scott Pilgrim T-shirt.

Then on the Platinum level, you guessed it, we still have a few Nerrrds shirts left!

What else will you find in there?  Who knows?  There could be a small child at the bottom.  Those bags are massive.

HOW TO WIN: Just send an e-mail to info@click-comm.com and tell us what you were bummed the most about missing at Comic-Con. Was it the Cowboys & Aliens or Green Lantern panel or seeing the cast of The Avengers? You tell us your biggest woe and what size shirt you’d like. (Your options are WM, WL, ML, MXL, MXXL, and they run a little small)

We will draw the winner on Friday and get that mailed out to you for next week!

Now go check out all the Comic-Con news stories you can find. Those writers worked HARD last week.

Nerds on Parade
Jul 20, 2010

Comic-Con is approaching with the speed of Jaws or an angry asteroid and we all know that those interactions end messily.  And what happens if you don’t win our handy-dandy Survival Kit contest?  Do you bleed out from a pipe & drape head wound?  Succumb to the Nerd Flu like a Captain Trips victim in The Stand?  Both are very likely.

Never fear!  We realize it would be irresponsible of us to allow so many fans of all things geeky to die such horrible deaths.  So we have developed The Click Communications Mini Survival Kit!  Inside you will find just enough help to get you to the nearest aid station or margarita bar for regeneration.

Everything you need to sustain life for a short amount of time.

Everything you need to sustain life for a short amount of time.

And how do you get your hands on the kit?  I’m glad you asked, as it would be awkward having all of these with no one to use them.  You’ll find various members of the Click team scattered throughout the Con at various nerd panels, toy booths and comic book stands.  We’ll be easy to spot as we rock our Nerrrds shirts!

We hope to see you there!

When preparing for any adventure, it is always wise to pack the necessary equipment and clothing you will need in order to survive, be it shark repellent or a bullet-proof vest.  The same goes for Comic-Con. Based on our own personal experience and a few tales of head and foot injuries, we have assembled a special Survival Kit that will help you get through the Comic-Con experience intact.

In fact, one lucky Comic-Con attendee will win the Click Survival Kit, Survival Guide and our custom Nerrrds shirt, all of which we will hand-deliver onsite! Check it out:

*Comic books not included. Those are mine.

Vitamins: Protect yourself from the Nerd Flu.
Mints: Make sure those fan w00ts are minty fresh.
Anti-Bacterial Wipes: For anything you don’t want to touch or anything you didn’t want to touch you.

Sharpie: For that perfect autograph and last minute notes.
Granola Bars: A little fuel for your fire.
NERDS Candy: After all, you are what you eat!

Our handy Survival Guide will give you a rundown of many of the new geeky things you might see in TV & film in the coming year as well as other odds & ends, including our 5-page “How to Speak Geek” lexicon.  You can also download a pdf version of the guide for digital devices!

HOW TO WIN: Just send an e-mail to info@click-comm.com and tell us what you are looking forward to seeing the most, and what size shirt you’d like! (Your options are WM, WL, ML, MXL, MXXL, and they run a little small)
