It's unfortunate that none of the BaltimoreGamer crew were able to make it to Gigacon this year, but we've heard soem great things about it. There still isn't much info about it online, but here is an article from The Washington Post:
Interrobang Studios was lucky enough to attend the first annual Giga-Con: Art, Design, and Animation Convention in Washington DC this past Jan 8-9.
We were invited to join the fun by Fenia Norville, who we ran into at this past AnimeUSA and Professor Brian Tillman, who's not only a department head at the Art Institute of Washington, but also the founder of Kaiser Studios, a small press comics company! We met a ton of awesome folks–both professionals and students.
The panels were amazing. The guests were amazing. Everyone was super-easy to talk to and I just know I'm gonna see the students I met credited in the games I play within the next few years or so. You can check out all our pictures on our most recent news page.
We'll be headed back next year for sure. They're already talking about the convention tripling in size as they invite more and more outside artists, gamers, and vendors into their convention.
