I missed working with the previously mentioned groups. That same week of the Stan Lee party I was scheduled to do a party at San Diego Comic Con with my other partner group. There was something to this partnership that was cohesive and electric with ideas (1.21 giggawatts of electricity to be precise). I enlisted the aid of groups I was becoming close with: Nerdbot, Damn Good Shindig, and The Flux Capacitors band (especially their leader Ryan).
So I’m throwing a birthday for the father of modern mythology and it’s got to be grand and detailed. In 2017 Legion M hired me to produce Stan Lee’s 95th birthday bash at Stark Mansion in conjunction with their handprint ceremony for Stan at the Chinese Theatre. I then began producing some comic con party events with a new group and we were getting closer but it still wasn’t right. While the events were successful in popularity, the partnership wasn’t right and my creative vision wasn’t being realized.
Why didn’t producers put this much effort and passion into the stage presentation for these same enthusiastic fans? I began hosting major masquerades and cosplay championships in 2013 and by 2014 had developed my first run at a cosplay nightclub event. I dabbled in cosplay and was a part of the community and saw how much passion and effort fans would put into one costume for one day, sometimes a hundred hours of work to make a detailed armor or period piece. I started observing the explosion in comic con popularity and realized there was so much opportunity to elevate the quality of hosting as well as a way to innovate “fandom nightlife”. I produced the Rocky Horror 35th Anniversary Convention in 2010 and then started attending comic cons more seriously (I had previously been briefly when asked to appear on a panel). Today we’d like to introduce you to Bernie Bregman.īernie, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today.
