MN FallCon Report (with some pics)

[cosmic farmboy]

Took a few pictures at FallCon this weekend. Thought I'd share them here. For starters, here's a few of the costumed attendees (or at least I assume they were costumes).

 

These guys were both at least 6'3", probably taller. Thought they pulled the looks off pretty well.

 

 

Not surprisingly, these two young ladies were very much in demand for pics. GL in the background is Thor from the first pic with a little less hair.

 

 

Couldn't get Dash to stand still for a picture. Little "Jack-Jack" was a big hit at the Con, though.

 

 

Very nice guy. Pockets were full of Hagrid props.

I always like Con reports with pictures of dealers wall books. So...here's Harley's booth. Guess he was also set up at Baltimore this weekend. Do dealers always bring their own lighting systems?

Is that Chris Elliot as Thor?

[Scrooge]

Harley was in 2 cons at once

 

Nothing surprises me anymore

Here's part of Jamie Graham's booth:

 

and a few of the other booths:

 

No pictures, but Motor City was also here with a large booth and a lot of nice books.

Hung around off and on with 143ksk and looked through some of the same boxes. So not surprisingly here's what I went home with at the end of the Con:

 

 

 

Actually, I've always had a soft spot for Betty covers.

Funny, I thought he might be GL.

Where was this, Minnesota?

Funny, none of the books from his wall display that I looked up on his website showed up

Thanks for the pix Chris

 

It was great hanging out with you, Xavier Logan, friscoman, Bobpfef and other friends.

 

I thought this year's Fallcon was a bit slow in terms of books that I collect, but I still managed to buy some stuff

Glad you guys had fun Steve. I hated not being able to attend, again. Poverty and lack of vacation time are real buzz kills when it comes to comic shows

Do you know which booth this is?

What an awesome book. Death takes a holiday -- and works a beauty pageant. I like that Thrilling as well!

That's what I do when I take a vacation.

In response to a few of the guys kind enough to post in this thread...

 

FallCon was held this year at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in Saint Paul.

 

I asked Harley if he minded if I posted pics of his wall display on the boards. He had no problem with it and acknowledged he doesn't have all his books listed on his website. He thinks he actually picked up a sale or two recently resulting from pics of his wall books from previous Cons being posted here. As an aside, I know I saw a few books in the Human Torch's excellent San Diego Con report I ended up pursuing.

 

And Donut, I believe the mystery booth was John Hauser's.
