30 MORE PICS of Las Vegas CON

[HooDeeDoo]

I took a week off from work and took a swing through Las Vegas for the con. I've never been to a West Coast Con so I thought I'd see all those West Coast dealers I've never laid eyes on.

 

Well, I STILL haven't seen those West Coast dealers. The show, for me (and as with most things, it's all about me) was a a big piece of snore pie with yawn sauce. There might have been around ten dealers there - half of which I see all the time in NYC. For THIS I flew to the other side of the continent?!?!?

 

I bought a few reader copy FFs and one raw book I sent off to CGC.

 

But enough of me, let's see the pics!!

 

 

I was reminded of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" when I saw these guys stalking the casino before the show.

 

 

 

Only the finest displays for CGC. That's Mr. Caffrey doing the Carol Merrill imitation.

 

 

 

Jason Ewert (having a good hair day) and Vinnie Zurzulllllllo who appears to have just been goosed by the passing man.

 

 

 

I think that may be Johnny Depp on the left.

 

 

 

One of the few dealers - got me who he is.

 

 

 

Vinne checking to see if the price is 26x or 27x guide.

 

 

 

Harley (with a fraction of his usual books) calling to find out when the next flight leaves from this waste of time.

 

 

 

The most "dramatic" booth. Does anyone actually HANG one of those framed pictures?

 

 

 

Who green-lighted this movie?

 

 

 

Bechara trying to appear non-chalant.

 

 

 

Bechara with his new acquistion. I offered him fifty bucks for it. He declined.

 

 

 

I think the picture speaks for itself.

 

 

 

Some nice original art - don't know who the guys are.

 

 

 

Miscellaneous picture.

 

 

 

Jason Ewert cherry picking some books.

 

 

 

What exactly do these girls have to do with comic books?

 

 

 

Another miscellaneous picture.

 

 

 

Bill Hughes.

 

 

 

Jason Ewert AGAIN - he was everywhere.

 

 

 

This site should get about 1000 hits after I post this picture.

 

 

 

For the resident pervs.

 

 

 

Don't say I don't do anything for you guys. BTW, it's latex paint. I failed to get a pic of her bending over. I promise to do better next time.

 

 

 

These guys give me the willies.

 

 

 

Drama.

 

 

 

One of "The Supremes" mesmerized by the "Latex Woman". Steve really needs to let them get out more often.

 

 

 

Another dealer - note the lack of buyers.

I don't know what the story was on this. I assume it was restored.

Cool pix. Unfortunately, it looks like it was totally dead there. Hopefully it will improve next year.

 

Some nice original art - don't know who the guys are.

 

That's Steve and Rich Donnelly of Cool Lines Art (eBay seller: valnstevez@aol.com).
