Emerald City Con Report

[The Troll King]

I'd like to note also I normally try and take a lot of pics at cons but this one was WAY overcrowded for picture taking. You could barely see past two people from you let alone have enough space to really take any pictures.

 

Here's a few never-the-less:

 

 

 

 

[The Troll King]

In my opinion the best costumed weirdo at the con! Irish slave Leia was definitely plain weird (which I didn't get a pic of) but this guy was great!

 

[The Troll King]

Yet another Alice.

 

There must have been at least a dozen of them

Josh Blaylock

Thomas Jane and Tim Bradstreet about 10 minutes before Jane tried to get my wife's attention.

 

I talked to Tim outside briefly just before I in hindsight took this pic. Jane didn't seem to like that I didn't pay him any attention.

One of the booths at the con loaded down with statues and bust. 20% on all of them which wasn't too bad. I bought the Callie Grimm Fairy Tale one from them.

Ok, that's pretty much it for the con pics. The next are various "around Seattle" pics.

 

Flowers in the Public Market

 

 

[The Troll King]

Underground at the market there are a bunch of shops including one of the greatest magic shops anywhere in the country. It's been there a long time and they have a great selection of vintage and new magic books.

This is my wife sticking her gum to the famous "gum wall" in Pike Place Market. This wall was named one of the top five germiest tourist attractions second only to the Blarney Stone.

 

 

 

Here's my kids standing next to it.

Here's another shot of the market underground of a comic shop called "Golden Age Collectibles"

 

It's too bad they don't actually have a single golden age comic in the place!

 

It's been there a long time though so more power to them for lasting. (Almost 40 years)

OMG IT'S A VOLCANO!

 

Seriously, it's a volcano. This shot I took while up on the Space Needle (which is really too expensive like most towers in other cities).

 

I've zoomed in on the shot and you have to realize that Mt. Rainier is approximately 60 miles away from Seattle and it just looms there like a giant behemoth.

 

From the top of the tower you can actually see two volcanos. Mt Baker to the North and then this one to the Southeast.

Wow, wow, wow. Great piece!

I've seen them from a plane in the distance and they are menacing!

Yeah, Seattle will be toast if and when Rainier erupts with a fury.

My favorite part of the convention was coming over the to Mahnke booth to say hi to Jon...oh wait, you never did...sigh

Stuart with my Vampirella

 

 

Judging from the comics Stuart has on the table I would say Greggy was there.
