Patches & Pins Expo NYC 🎃🎃🎃
Patches and Pins Expo returned to the big Apple just in time to kick off the Halloween Weekend.
Back at the Metropolitan Pavilion in lower Manhattan,lines were long (as usual) but with a twist.
They were offering "Free Admission","Front of the Line" tickets for $12.00 and V.I.P $54.00 for the weekend.
They haven't done a weekend gig in a couple of years,which I wasn't too sure if this was more like an end of year "money squeeze",since there was no line management and everyone just went on whichever line when they lined up that morning.
The usual doors open at noon,but you won't get inside until 30 minutes after and then instead of being on the main floor,we had to walk up five flights of stairs to get to the fifth floor.
The Level (7,500 square feet) which held roughly twenty vendors, smallest I've ever seen since attending,so did a majority of the vendors who would have been here,lucked up and found their way to New York Comic Con instead and Baltimore Comic Con this weekend?
