Well, 150 miles and $35 in gas money later...
I went to the Jetpack Comics Free Comic Book Day event in Rochester, NH.
...and picked up some great little floppies.
Joe Hill was at one of the locations, so I decided to get some signatures from him.
I always wanted to even out this poster EvilAsh gave to me with Joe's name next to Gabriel's.
I was about to have him sign all the key tags I had that didn't come with his signature originally, when a family just jumped in front of me and started to have him sign FCBD floppies. His co-writer buddy there Jason Ciaramella looked as stunned as I felt. He started to sketch a Skrull Electra on a little girl's Secret Invasion #1. It looked pretty great after he was done.
Then it became my turn again. But, I was so rattled, I sounded like a gibbering fool.
Jason really enjoyed the keys. I felt bad because I was so distracted, I almost totally ignored him.
But, Joe got them all done. Perfectly.
Signed some Subtterrean Press Hardcovers.
...and I wanted to do something no one could replicate. I had him sign my Registry Awards, to make them look more official. I think I got the idea from oneasian.
There was a Crow there and a Baroness from GI Joe(no pics of her though, as I thought she was gonna slap me around and call me Suzy if I did). Joe knew right off his 1st comic appearance was Creepshow #1 too(which makes me want to keep mine all the more now). Saw the lovely Sara Richard and gave a hometown shout out. I got to meet CGC boardies Ralph(Jetpack Comics) and Andrew(GACollectibles) too. Andrew was a super cool guy to talk with me for a bit about a Joe Hill book for being really so busy there.
All in all, it was fun adventure.
