There's free food, drinks and comics, and they are telling people to bring their copies of Planet Death #1 to get them signed, which means John Wick creator Derek Kolstad, Surrogates creator Robert Venditti, and artist Tomas Giorello will be in attendance. They promise "some great conversation with the staff and creators at BAD IDEA and, of course, a volcano full of first looks at 2025's behemoth slate of BAD IDEA blockbusters!"

Also, you won't have to give up your pin. They reiterate, "This is NOT a First Customer Pin redemption offer. No, it's a First Customer Pin 'membership has its privileges' offer. No pins are forfeited by attending. Partygoers only have to bring and wear their First Customer Pin to attend the party. All First Customer Pins will go home with their owners. Any pin qualifies, except for commemorative pins. Pin lending is acceptable, however, each attendee must have their own pin." So let them know you are coming, though… rsvp@badideacorp.com. And you can see evidence of previous Bad Idea Tiki Parties on Bleeding Cool in years past. Which were also announced early.
