Just to 13hrs of April 23, 2011 , arrived to Comics Forum Rock Show the 3 components of the so-called chat between Cuates . Same
that took the stage eight minutes later and began a nice conversation about the conventions in Mexico where Eynar Eddie Ruiz-Trejo , Ricardo Ortega López and . J David. M Jiménez (RED Group ) shared with the audience their experiences and vision about such events in our country.
According to the festival of Easter Saturday , this trio of three, recalled past glories.
Certainly it was a reunion, and 3 crazy they had not been together in front of a microphone for a little over 6 years.
Perhaps not many remember, but in the 90s, times of "great events", they were the ajonjolís of all moles, and who actively participated in all the events, themselves that were mentioned, from MECyF , Conquer and The Mole up Little Roka, Dragon With , International Comic Fair , MegaCon and the beginnings of TNT .
diffusers were also the medium through fanzines as ProComic , Zoom Comics and milling (as well as magazine The Mole GDC).
There was a small account of many experiences over time of many anecdotes, some dark, others funny, analyzing why these events were successful and it disappeared, as well as contributions made by each.
For example, MECyF died that saturated the event of things not related to the comic, guests and anyone interested in pride (besides that there were too many inconsistencies internally finance), while Conquer simply can not take the step and the market needs and exceeded The Mole Fields definitely fell into a vicious cycle repetitive, uneventful and full of internal mafias were favorites.
smaller events whose life was short, one to three issues, simply does not work or different, as the legend of Little Roka, which says life against girls as hostesses galante (very similar to the case of David , El Gringo, who passed their merchandise to Mexico USA as garbage, here could offer it to ridiculous prices, and was was thundering at comic shops).
course also touched on the contributions of each, as that gave The Mole face for the first time on a massive scale to the voices of film and television, internationalized MECyF events, the Conquer you gave a talent showcase Mexican TNT opened its doors to Middle East .
Notably Leonel Gerardo Pérez Veit, also a pioneer of these events and only child (at least by blood) of Mama Lupita, someone important, prominent and well known of the environment in those days, it threw the "jam session" with this trio , then rose to share their experiences.
A throat is formed at all on the table to remember who was mother of all volunteers, both MECyF , and Conquer The Mole, whose patience, love and courage, gave us to many the way of seeing things, defending what belongs to us and to be fair.
sure she had something to do this meeting.
companies were discussed, publishing, events and facts and names mentioned (as Manelick de la Parra, Eugenio de la Parra, Paloma de la Parra, Marie de la Parra, Paco Jiménez, Ricardo Cachou, Luis Gantus, Martin Arceo, Gantus Fernanda, Ignacio Septien and many more that would be difficult to enumerate), as well as the successes they had and the blunders that helped ruin the environment. Eddie
lived some from within the drop MECyF since then works within Vid , while others saw it from outside.
mention the great personalities have visitdo our country, which are home to people of dubbing, cosplay, rolero and others as well as those who have been disappearing act and those who have been forgotten.
analyzed as though at that time the conditions were very different, these events were successful, openness and communication was very small compared to today, at that time, events were more a need to express that a monetary policy (as now) ... the question is achieved by repeating the formula is the same now?
In the past events that he still had spirit and could reach more, was Utopia, so far left empty hole filled for long.
As commentary, it was said that is good, upcoming events are supporting and giving projection to the Mexican talent, as was done in the past and now many of those names are recognized internationally.
At this point it was commented that we always bring people from outside, but if you notice, the USA events, for example, is full of artists, but all Americans, that is, so far we have known that San Diego ComiCon guest has to José Luis Durán, Angel Mora or Alberto Leon (who by the way, accompanied us to the public at the end of the talk and congratulated us and asked us to continue adelnate with violence).
So I suggest, first to showcase what we have, projecting them as true artists, recognizing talent and paths and then watch out.
very different conditions exist in the 90s and now, for example, no longer there so many comics shops (there are "6 or 7?) And we have internet to order anything we want via Ebay .
worth mentioning that what you want in an event of this in the stands, not only is the new and original product, but at a reasonable price (at this point great fault is of the exhibitors, and inflating prices by hiding merchandise, wanting to get into a product, selling a day), which has also disappeared and whose jurisdiction now, as I mentioned, is Internet sales.
True conventions are filled with booths direct from the big publishers in comics, in Mexico, how to fill what if there are no comics publishing? Interesting thing would be for U.S. publishers, who are dominating the market, do act presence in one of these events, material and guests.
also took the stage and Fernando Ricardo Romero , organizers Comic Expo MX (17 to June 19, 2011 in Centro Banamex Mexico City ), who gave some details of the event.
is also worth recalling that the ComiCon next Mexico (3 to July 5, 2011 World Trade Center Mexico City ), by the way, we learn that a person attended this event the talk but we do not notice, otherwise we could have also invited onto the stage. Fernando
and Ricardo Romero had this space were given by their own request and that are already known RED Group, but it would be very interesting that this person ComiCon Mexico also been approached to discuss your project.
As always, it is normal in these cases there is competition and it certainly will hopefully be a wrestling match, as if on the contrary, since we started badly, if the two proposals are beginning to fight from before giving results and there is a fierce fight for the fans and not for the fans, already lost ground, remember that something similar occurred between previous events ( MECyF and Conquer ), it certainly does not need to get to ignore each other, because everyone has their market and audience (as The Mole and TNT ), If you really want to revive and lift the middle comiquero, as they say and promise, should reach a healthy competition, so we want to launch from here the proposal to meet, in this same forum (the Rock Show Comics) Representatives of both events for us to Discuss your proposals and convince us to attend, obviously, moderated by RED Group, the invitation is only necessary that both sides agree.
see, this first Talk between Cuates was very emotional and critical (very soon see video with excerpts of it), not the last, because although it was two hours of exposure, they were many things to try and talk, stay tuned for upcoming dates and locations of talks between Cuates with Red Group.
