The day we got the call from Ottawa ComicCon was an incredibly exciting day for us. We were still a young company and were just getting over the high of doing the National Hockey League Fan Fair (convention) and the Juno Awards. They first asked for seven thousand chairs for rental which we were quick to supply. The requests kept coming in. They needed pipe and drape rentals (both banjo material and velour), projector rentals, television rentals, projection screen rentals, stage rentals and so much more. You know, you learn from experience. We had just done an event for Rick Hanson and had to build a wheel chair ramp out of staging on Parliament Hill for him. When ComicCon asked us to build a stage for them that included two ramps we were ready to go.
By the time the doors were to open there were about 10,000 people waiting to get in. We had built a huge custom portable stage, supplied lighting, full PA services and video. They wanted the people on stage to be broadcast on to the two 9'x 12' screens we had provided. We had uplighting all around the room, we had used 3 foot high pipe and drape to create a cue line for people waiting to get in. We had audio in every breakout room as well as tables, chairs, television it was truly a massive event to be part of.
