Guest Bio: Dan Farr attended his first comic con event as a vendor, hoping to market 3-D illustration and animation software to the comic book and video game artists in attendance.He marvelled as he watched the enthusiastic attendees file in, dressed in costume or waiting to meet a favorite celebrity.Farr was star-struck, through not just by the caliber of celebrities he was encountering. He was hit by how much it meant to fans of all ages to talk with the stars of their favorite shows."I got pulled into the energy of that fandom and also the creativity of the cosplayers that were there," Farr said.As he attended conventions in major cities — New Orleans, Chicago, New York — he began to realize something. For the caliber of stars in attendance, the enthusiasm of the fans, and the population of the cities they were in, Farr was stunned that attendance wasn't higher.Then he decided he could increase it.In 2012, Farr began a transition away from DAZ 3D, a company he had helped establish, with the idea of starting a comic con in Salt Lake City. He started attending geeky conventions across the country in order to establish relationships, searching out celebrities and vendors he would eventually try to woo to Utah.Farr sought out a potential ally in Bryan Brandenburg, an entrepreneur and game developer he had first met in 1996 and had worked with at DAZ 3D and other companies. Brandenburg said he needed to at least see a comic con first, so Farr took him to the Wizard World convention in February 2013.In a flash, Brandenburg was hooked."After spending a couple days there, I said, 'Yeah, we could totally do this and be successful,'" Brandenburg said. He helped establish Salt Lake Comic Con a few weeks later.Together the two decided to hold a convention that fall, setting a goal for about 15,000 attendees.By September, the Salt Palace Convention Center was bursting at the seams with 70,000 delighted attendees and heavy hitters such as Marvel creator Stan Lee and "Star Trek" icon William Shatner on stage, far more than the pair had dreamed possible.In two subsequent events the next year, organizers drew 100,000 guests to the first FanX in April and 120,000 more to the second Salt Lake Comic Con in September.

With Salt Lake Comic Con coming up September 21-23, we thought it would be fun to mix things up a bit and sit down with someone that isn't Dan Farr to talk about the event and what takes place behind the scenes. (Not that we don't like to talk with Dan, because we do, but we thought that a change would be good.) So instead of Dan, we were joined by Salt Lake Comic Con emcee, and awesome joke teller, Chris Provost.Come listen as Chris tells us some of his favorite experiences from previous conventions, including how Walter Koenig from Star Trek played an epic prank on him backstage. He also manages to share a few awesome jokes, and of course we talk about his amazing wife, Amanda and her love for Darth Vader. It's a fun conversation that not only gives you insight into what takes place literally behind the scenes at Salt Lake Comic Con, it also sheds light on the man, the myth, the legend that is Chris Provost.For more of Chris, be sure to subscribe to his YouTube channel where you can find awesome nuggets like the video below. You can also follow his adventures on Instagram and Facebook.Thanks to Chris for taking time out of his busy schedule to chat with us. And thanks to our Patreon supporters, Bruce, Ruff, and Zane!

Salt Lake Comic Con 2016 is only a few weeks away, and even though he's extremely busy finalizing new guests, making epic announcements, and doing what it takes to run one of the most successful conventions out there, Dan Farr took a few minutes to chat with us about what's been taking place behind the scenes. If you've ever wondered what goes into booking some amazing guests, such as Jon Cena, Mark Hamill or Stan Lee, or even if you are just a fan of attending conventions, then this is a show that you definitely don't want to miss. We didn't just talk about the upcoming Salt Lake Comic Con though. We also discussed the status of FanX and the decision to not have two conventions in Salt Lake City next year. However, there may be a glimmer of hope for those of you whose fingers are crossed that it will eventually make a triumphant return to the Salt Palace.
