We told you a couple weeks ago about The Cultyard at the New York Comic Convention this year, and the time is nigh! If you live in New York, call in sick today — or just take a long lunch — and hit up the New York Comic Con for the The Cultyard collective. The Cultyard will be taking over a large section of the NYCC making their own convention-within-a-convention, one targeting vinyl toys, design, illustrations and art of all types. Many of LIAS’ favorite brands will be representing, including tokidoki, Kid Robot, Loyal Subjects and Mimobots, and artist Tara McPherson will be signing some of her work. Plus, there will surely be plenty of nerds and chicks dressed up in hot costumes to keep you plenty entertained.

NOTE: If you’re in New York this weekend and want to check out The Cultyard at NYCC, email us (put CULTYARD AT NYCC in the subject line) and tell us your favorite post from last week — the first 3 responders will get +1 passes to the East Coast’s biggest nerdathon of the year!
