Here’s some interesting information pertaining to last month’s OCTO event, Straight from Erik Koplien.
The official count of 342 early buses by first raffle. Surpassing even our best June event. The vendors were up with 105 in attendance. The normal average at any event is between 50-60. Spectators were also up at 1800 per ticket count. 1200-1500 is average. We had some international visitors as well. However with travel restrictions being what they are, we didn’t have as many. These are all OCTO records for sure.
Any of you guy’s who were out there saw this first hand. Also got to witness folks flipping out on Lind-O-Calrisian’s 1950 Panel

That's for sure! It was bananas, but in a good way. I also ran into your Twin, West Coast Johnny Pickenez 
I'm sure come February's OCTO ..... it will be bananas as well. I don't see this plague lighting up anytime soon.
On a side note ......... just found out California is being SHUT DOWN as of tomorrow!!!  Whatever that means!!??  |
