I'm interested in becoming a Vendor for 2016
Surf City Etching replied to Calcomania's topic in Vendors/Artists
I would just keep checking the Babscon website (http://www.babscon.com/) for updates on when they are accepting applications. You can also try emailing vendors@babscon.com and try to get put on their vendor mailing list. Not sure if they are doing that still but they did email people that showed an interest last year. As for prices the booth prices are pretty good, like $100 or $150 a table which is way better then most of the comic cons or anime cons that are anywhere from like 450-1100 a booth. You don't get a full on 10x10 booth like other cons provide for vendors but the dimensions should be provided when you sign up and I never really had a space issue at either of the previous years and I bring a bunch of boxes filled with glass. So far I only have good things to say about Babs and it is definitely one of my favorite cons. I plan on vending every year they have it for as long as I can. Also since you are from San Diego I would look into Equestria LA. Pretty sure you missed it for this year (I was also unable to attend =( ) but if they have it again next year I would keep an eye out. The other big one on the west coast is everfree up in Seattle which should actually be expanding their convention in 2016 since they are moving to a new location. If you have any other questions about other cons and such feel free to ask. You can also email me at surfcityetching@gmail.com or contact me through my website (surfcityetching.com). It is pretty much a photo dump for vendor applications but it gets the job done. Regards, Tristan -
Hey Everypony, I hope you are all as excited for BABScon this year as I am. I am glad to be a vendor again this year and can't wait to see what new things they have in store for us. As some of you know I make custom etched glassware with all kinds of different pony designs. I currently have a bunch of different designs for my glasses, all the ones from last year and some new ones, and I have now expanded my inventory to include flasks, money clips, belt buckles, and zippo lighters. Below are a few pictures to give you an idea of my designs and what my new products look like; also you can find more pictures in my thread from last year and on my website surfcityetching.com. Just like last year I am taking pre-orders and custom orders so if you want to have something special made or guarantee that you get what you really want just let me know. Pints - $20 Shot Glasses - $8 Money Clips - $10 Belts - $15 Flasks - $25 Zippos - $35 If you have any questions please let me know and I can't wait to see everyone at BABS!

Thanks! I plan to make it to as many future cons as possible. Unfortunately I have scheduling conflicts with several this year but next year I plan on making it to BABSCon again, SAC Brony (If they decide to bring it back), Everfree, Equestria LA (If they decide to bring it back), and Bronycon (if I can figure out the logistics). I also do other types of cons as well so I will be at Clockwork Alchemy/Fanime next month and I should be at SacAnime in August and Further Confusion in January 2015 (waiting to get confirmation on those two).

Most definitely, I do orders for any designs that I have already made as well as custom designs. Anything you want put on glass I can do. Feel free to check out my website ( Surfcityetching.com ) for pictures of more of my designs (I have a couple of different apple jack ones as well as one that is not yet posted, it is the applejack version of this type of full pony design http://nebula.wsimg.com/5447bdc9f5787557bfadbd9511a6eaa0?AccessKeyId=4440A118916B8996E305&disposition=0&alloworigin=1 The website is currently still in the development phase but I have pictures of a bunch of my designs up and I will be adding more in the near future. Also if you are going to any of the cons I have listed I can just bring your glass to the con and save you the shipping cost. To place an order please send me a message with what you would like through my website or send me a message through the forum and I will get back to you with a quote. So you have an idea about my prices the applejack cutie mark design is $15 plus shipping and the other applejack design I have on my website is $20 plus shipping. Also since you were unable to make it to con I will still honor the buy 5 get one free promotion I was doing.

Thanks, and it was a pleasure vending beside you as well. I'm glad you like them and I plan on making it to as many conventions as possible. I will be at Clockwork Alchemy/Fanime next month and then I am also in the process of getting into SacAnime so if there are any glasses you wished you had gotten let me know and I'd be happy to make them up and bring them to any cons we are both going to. Also I am a new vendor so if there are any cons that you are going to that I have not listed as going to on my website drop me a line and I'll look into getting there if at all possible.

Just so everyone knows all of my glassware is hand etched by me and the designs can't be damaged short of doing something that would damage any piece of glass. Also I will have free bags for any purchases while supplies last and special discounts to purchases of multiple items if you ask about my gag gifts and mention this post.

I am at table H17 in the vendors hall. I currently do not have any Bon Bon glasses made but if you let me know what you might want by tomorrow I can give you a quote and make something up especially for you.

Last call for any pre-orders or custom orders. If you want to make sure anything is reserved or made especially for you please let me know by 4/10. We offer buy 5 get the 6th free for anyone wanting sets. Discounts for larger sets also available for those that want them. Also here are a few more pics of some of the things I will be bringing.

The fully etched tankards vary in price depending on how detailed you would like me to be and if you would like multiple pictures on them. The two above are Celestia and would be $30. Unfortunately all of the tankards like that have to be custom orders because I have a very limited supply of them and none of my suppliers have been able to get more of them for me (luckily I bought 30 as soon as I saw them but I only have about 10 left). I generally don't charge extra for custom orders when they are for cons because I want everyone going to the con to be able to get memorable stuff so anything you think of that you want let me know and I will try and accommodate it. If you decide you would like to make a custom order please send me a private message so its easier for me to make sure I don't forget anyone.

Some pre-orders and custom orders that I finished this weekend.

Sounds good. I have a couple of custom orders already that sound exactly like what you are looking. I should have them done this weekend so I will post some pics of them after they are done so you can see

I will have pint glasses and shot glasses with celestia and luna's cutie marks, I may also make some pictures frames with full silhouettes etched into the glass. I also do custom orders so if there is something specific you would like just let me know and I can bring it to the con so you don't have to pay for shipping. I do custom orders so if there is anything you want I can make it and ship it to you. I also plan on doing several more cons this year so if there are any that you plan on going to I may be able to save you shipping costs if we happen to be at the same cons. I etch the glass using a hand held sandblaster so the etching is permanent and even. So as long as you don't do anything that will actually scratch the glass the designs will stay exactly as you buy them.

Hey Everyone, I make custom etched glassware and I am wondering if anyone has any special requests. I have a table at BABSCon and I currently have cutie mark pint glasses and shot glasses of Apple Jack, Flutter Shy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Derpy, Celestia, and Luna made. I also have some custom designs that I've put on some glasses as well. I don't want to give away everything that I am making and bringing so that's all you get for now but feel free to post anything that you would like to see made and If there is something that you want to make sure you get please let me know and I will set it aside or custom make it for you. All of my glasses are hand etched by me and I will do my best to accommodate any requests that are made. See you all at BABSCon!!!!
