We just got back! I never want to be in a car again!
It was a really good time. I found new and unusual ways to embarrass myself and that is always a plus.
We spent more money than we have on comics, sustenance and the hotel but it was all worth it.
Jason did end up selling some prints so that helped off set the cost. It came rolling in and I spent it on
bound drawings.
I met many nice people and I hope that I didn't creep any of them out with my blushing and giggling and fangirl-ness.
I met
Hope Larson and bought two comics from her. She was extra classy and sweet.
Laura Park has an adorable style and a kick ass pigeon.
Paul Maybury was really kind and chatted us up in the Image Comics booth area. He can also draw reeeeeel guuud. I met fellow drawingboard-er's
Joe Pekar,
Dean Trippe and
Alberto Ruiz. I'm pretty sure Alberto had no idea who I was but he did an excellent job pretending that he did. I think I shook
Nicholas Gurewitch's hand 3 times in a row while saying goodbye, then blurted something out about him being so nice. I needed a tranquilizer! I'm surprised I didn't snort while laughing. I also have some comics from Brian McGinty and
Josh Latta. They were a badass goofy duo of glasses and grins. I bought ' The Fart Party ' from
Julia Wertz(psst, she was also nice) and some mini comics from nice guy
Jeremy Tinder. NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE, E'ERYWUN WAZ NICE!
ETA - The small part of Charlotte I saw was nice! I really enjoyed walking around at night and being surrounded by tall buildings again. It felt good. I like feeling like a speck on the pavement.
Norfolk still smells like a forest fire bbq :(
Here comes the loot...
Oh and 'hey, does my dork face make me look like a nerd?'
