Conventions, Expos and a dash of Steampunk
Posted: Thursday, July 15th, 2010 at 22:17 by rcoppleFiled under: Creator's Blog
Lots to report on this week.
First up, check out your nearest magazine supplier for this month’s issue of SFX magazine. There’s an article about Riese the series and an interview with co-creators Ryan Copple and Kaleena Kiff in their Red Alert section, complete with photos.
This past weekend, I attended a mini steampunk convention held by VSteam – the Vancouver Steampunk Society. I got to spend the afternoon with some of the finest ladies and gents in town, and give away Riese merch! Always a great time with VSteam, check them out at www.VancouverSteampunks.com for upcoming events!
As any con-goer will agree, the worst part of a convention is the being over part. Luckily, I found myself at Gatecon that evening!
Gatecon – a UK convention held in Vancouver, or better described: one big party! I certainly had a warm welcome, and would like to thank the organizers of Gatecon for allowing me to be a part of the fun, and give out even more Riese swag. Buttons galore! I met many people; some familiar, mostly new. You know who you are. Let’s do this again next year!
Upcoming Conventions
JULY 22-25
Next week, Team Riese will be at San Diego Comic Con! Join the show’s creators, Ryan Copple and Kaleena Kiff, on two panels – one at SDCC on creating a webseries, and one offsite at
Celebrate the Web. Don’t miss out!

Fan Expo Canada
Like SciFi? Horror? Anime, Comics, Gaming, Steampunk, RIESE? Then you better make plans to attend Fan Expo Canada in Toronto this August. Ryan Copple (Creator), Nicholas Humphries (Director/Producer), Alyssa Ciccarelli (Writer) and Christine Chatelain (Riese) will be there. We’ll have a panel, and there is a Steampunk sub-genre this year, giving you no excuse to miss out on the fun!
