Or, is a four day con too long? Or not long enough?

What is a CGC enthusiast to do? My last two signatures were to be from the dynamic duo Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. The day before Greg was to arrive, Scott was already in attendance, I checked to see if wrist bands were needed to get their signatures. I was told no, but the limit was five. I could live with that. I had four for Greg and five for Scott.

As I arrived there the next day I got in early enough and did my best to get into a line outside of artist alley. And even though I was up there pretty close, I wasn't close enough. In stead of going straight back I wanted to say good morning to Mike. I already knew he was there since just a little bit earlier I watched him walk past, with two others, carrying boxes. After a quick hello once I arrived fully onto Artist Alley, I was told Gemma was already down there to witness.

I left the CGC area and as I walked briskly, others ran. After two full days of completing my own personal scavenger hunt for signatures I decided I was too old for this $#..., running to the booth not getting signatures. I got there and if I didn't stop off at CGC I most assuredly would be closer to the front than the back.

Once the line formed we were told that three was the new imposed limit, not five. I now had one and a half books too many. I skimmed the books I had in hand and made my decision while continuing my wait in line. The time ticked by rather quickly as I talked to two others who had their favorite books with them. The scheduled signing time was 10 to 11:30 and a little before eleven the bad news was told.
