Justin and Dan kick off the show without Gregory and dive into a full post-mortem of Saskatoon’s rebranded Pop Con YXE.
Justin shares how sponsoring and designing collectible lanyards turned into an “obnoxiously big” 16×16 booth, why smaller cons like Saskatoon still matter for regional artists, and how show ownership changes have reshaped the scene.
They also get into the realities of living off convention tables—from the struggle of jury/lottery systems and grandfather clauses to tailoring art displays for different crowds at Calgary Expo, Otafest, and Anime North—before Gregory finally bursts in fresh from a school visit.
