Vendor Resources
GET SOCIAL! - Please share the Facebook event link :) Peabody Heights has asked us to tag them in all posts so they can repost (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) -- this is very import. Make a video of what you are making/selling. Take lots of rad pics. I will do the same, but it matters way more if our vendors and creators make their own posts.
What You Need to Bring - You need to bring a six foot table and chairs. Since this is a brewery, they don’t have nearly enough furniture for us. You can also bring smaller tables and shelves. This is our first year doing this so we're not 100% on how much extra space you'll have, but if your vending neighbor(s) are comfortable with you setting up additional smaller tables then go for it. The venue is cool as heck and they are very happy with us being there so I imagine they will be flexible with set ups and such. If you can bring an extra six foot table, please do. I imagine we can always use more.
Lodging - If you search Baltimore (Charles Village neighborhood) on AirBnB, you'll find very affordable places for 2 adults. This is likely your best bet and you'll be within walking distance to the venue as well as some great restaurants, The OttoBar, and more. Also, close to Peabody Heights (our venue) is Red Emma's, Toki Underground, and Pete's Grill.
Hampden is also an option with great restaurants and Atomic Books (with the Eight Bar), Celebrated Summer Records, but it's a long-ish walk. Great restaurants are Golden West, Holy Frijoles (pinball!), Nepenthe, Melanie's at Griffith's (awesome bar) and Blue Bird (great cocktails).
Friday! PRE GAME FACE! We will be meeting at Peabody Heights for the release party of the beer as well as to hang out and have a blast. 7pm. See you there?
You can bring your merch by if you want to load some of that in early. Peabody has a locked room for out loot.
Wristband for Vendors - You will get a wristband if you are a vendor that allows you 15% off your bar tab. WOO!
Parking - There is a small parking lot and free street parking in front of the brewery. There is also ample parking in the neighborhoods surrounding the event.
Load In and Set Up - Saturday from 7am to 12pm because the con starts at 12pm. Please arrive as soon as you can so you are fully set up by 12pm. You do not have to break anything down Saturday night, thank goodness. We suggest putting a table cloth over your loot overnight.
On Saturday, all vendors will have FREE access to the arcade before noon. You have to be totally set up and ready to vend before you rock the arcade. When the venue opens at noon, the arcade is no longer free.
Breakfast - Justin will have bagels for everyone Saturday morning.
Convention Hours are 12pm - 8pm both days.
WIFI - There is WIFI available at the venue and we will give you the password when you arrive.
Electric Power - There are a generous amount of outlets in each room, but please bring a power strip and/or extension cord if you own one.
Load Out - Sunday at 8pm. If you really need to get home early, you can start breaking down at 7pm.
If you have any questions, please text Justin at 410 917 3377
This is the layout we have right now. Numbered tables are vendor tables. We will have 8 scheduled games running twice a day for a total of 32 games and then some open tables for hang out and free play. Weather pending, the tent outside can also host open play.
