Mission
Put on a Comic Book Show in Detroit, Dedicated to Comic Books, For the Comic Book Community, and put on by the Comic Book Community.
Description
We are the Comic Book Convention that puts comic books first and foremost. We are the resurrection of the original Detroit Triple Fan Fair, which was the country's first comic book convention held in Downtown Detroit in 1965 at the Book Cadillac Hotel. Shel Dorf, one of the first promoters of the DTFF would later go on to form the San Diego Comic Con. Walking away from Comic Con, because it had become more focused on media then comics, he set the ground work for us to re-establish our roots and put on Detroit Fanfare.
General Information
Detroit Fanfare returns to the Adoba Hotel and Conference Center (formerly known as the Hyatt Regency), Oct. 25-27, 2013. Book a special rate at the hotel and not only do you get a great price of $89, for each night's stay, you get TWO free passes to the convention for the weekend.
A BIG gaming and marketing opportunity is the Detroit Fanfare (in Dearborn, Michigan, October 25-27, 2013). If we can get enough volunteer Game Masters (and gamers to attend), we can, a) have a huge presence at one of Michigan’s fastest growing comics and games conventions (they had 7,000+ people last year, expecting 9,000 in 2013), and b) may be able to turn Detroit Fanfare into a new, ANNUAL home for the Palladium Open House. You heard right. If we make a good showing running games and bringing in more gamers, we might be able to make the Palladium Open House part of Detroit Fanfare and hold it EVERY flippin’ year! And why not? The convention site is only 20 minutes from the Palladium office.
Game Masters, if YOU are interested in running Palladium gaming events at Detroit Fanfare (October 25-27, 2013) PLEASE contact the Megaversal Ambassadors or contact Palladium Books directly via telephone (734-721-2903), Private Message, email, etc. but please contact us. This could be the start of something big and fun for us all.
The rest of you, spread the word and start making plans to attend! Help us make this happen.
Here are just some of the Palladium highlights for Detroit Fanfare:
● Harmony Gold’s Robotech® tour. Meet Steve Yun, enjoy Robotech® panels, and get autographs. I’ll probably even participate in a few.
● Palladium Books will be there with many of our artists and writers. Meet the following Palladium creators:
Me, Kevin Siembieda (publisher, writer and game designer)
