One more post about the tenth CrockerCon and how important the show is to me. I sat down with Kyrun Silva of Taurus Comics and the 4 Tales Podcast to not only talk about CrockerCon overall and this show in particular, but also his new role as the co-coordinator of the show. It’s a nice look behind the scenes of how a show/convention is put together and the shift of moving from behind the table to behind the scenes altogether.
