Mini-Con FAQ
Not at all. This is something for our entire community. Think of the Saturday convention as more of a festival or fair.
I hesitate to even use the words “comic convention” when describing the event, the term has grown to include a much broader collection of pop and contemporary arts, games, music and more. We’re planning to embrace that broad cultural spirit of comic conventions but provide a far more down-to-earth, Southeast Alaska experience.
Alaska Robotics is the label we use for our creative projects. We make music videos, political satire, comics, art prints, and we operate the Alaska Robotics Gallery at 134B N. Franklin St. in Juneau.
It’s like asking for a Braeburn at the Apple Store.
You can take the Alaska Marine Highway or you can fly here on Alaska Airlines or sometimes Delta. You can’t drive here but I’ve heard of brave souls riding bicycles across the Juneau Icefield. To be clear, I’m not recommending that route.
Once in Juneau, you can always drop by the Alaska Robotics Gallery for friendly directions and local advice.
All the venues for our events are accessible without steps, and bathrooms are accessible as well. If you need any assistance besides mobility/bathrooms for specific events, let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
Yes. See our Code of Conduct. Many conventions have harassment policies and we feel like it’s an important element when trying to create an event in the spirit of inclusion. We love the many varied groups and fandoms that congregate at comic conventions we’ve attended and we want everyone to feel safe and welcome at our convention. If anyone makes you feel unsafe or goes out of their way to make you feel uncomfortable, let us know. We’ll feed them to the bears.
No. We think Alaska outlawed that in the late 1990s. We’ll resolve any issues on a case-by-case basis. It’s not a giant convention, everyone here is pretty nice, and we’re confident we can sort out any problems. If not, we’re happy to ask any obstinate troublemakers to leave. Please feel free to read our Code of Conduct.
