A poor shot of one of the aisles.

John Byrne would not approve of the way these people are dressed. :grin:

 

John Byrne would insist these people all shower before coming to the con!

 

Yes, the fella in the upper photo in purple could use a round or two of shampoo. :whistle: Takes one to know one? :shrug:

You look great--and The Danimal, you easily look beyond 18. :baiting: For real.

 

But you, LovinTheSurfer, you may well have created a new word in soberization. :think:

Except for Andy, I didn't run into many smelly people, although I was congested.

 

First thing I thought this morning when I woke up was "I want to go back! Must buy books!" lol Maybe I can talk the missus into a side-trip after the wedding.

 

Yesterday, while going through the boxes at TVComics table, some fellow came up looking for low-grade FFs #1, 3, 4 and 5.TVComics had some, but not low-priced enough. This guy paid $125 for his FF #2, and was only looking to spend $300 on a #1. I had to bite my tongue. The poor soul is going to be looking for a long time that's all he wants to spend on that book.

The new location/room was a big improvement and the layout was good. I got there early and avoided the lines, which I understand were quite suckish, and I heard several tales of grouchy police. Seems to me they need a bigger locale already

 

 

The hour and a half wait in line sure didn't do anything for my mood. Once I got in everything was fine but that line sure sucked some of the fun out of my day.

 

I hope the promoters know about this.

 

. I forgot to sign Nik's cell.

 

 

I never even saw Andrew :(

 

I think I spotted Roy from afar but can't be sure.

Andrew's table was the one with signs on every box that read GACOLLECTIBLES :makepoint: I figured you decided not to come, or that everybody would just naturally congregate there. Sorry I missed you.

 

Louise was in the house, too.

We had a great time yesterday, though I was completely overwhelmed for the first hour or so.

 

I finally got to see some forumites late in the show, like GACollectibles, D i c k Pontoon, Danimal and Lovinthesurfer, and a few more. I wish we could have made the dinner but my wife and I had but a few hours of sleep before getting up for the Con. We were TOAST!

 

I scored big time on loot! From TVComics I got my best score... a sealed Art of Bernard Krigstein hardcover, Mister Mystery #2 (VG except for a piece out of the upper right corner) and the severed-head-covered Bobby Benson #14 in VG... all for $90!!!!!!!

 

Loads of fun to see everyone and score some goodies! I didn't see Larry... he must not have been at his table or something and I didn't know it was his. I'd hate to think that I missed not only a friend, but a whole aisle of stuff!!!

Odd. I never saw the sign. However, after standing in that god forsaken line i was not at the top of my game. :(

 

I'll go again but next time I'll be there A LOT earlier.

I didn't ask the promoters or any dealer friends, but I would guess if a larger and affordable venue is available, they'd try to hold the next one there. A long line waiting for hours doesn't serve any anybody's interest.

 

I miraculously made it back today for a kamikaze buying run. The missus went above and beyond the call of duty and agreed to entertain our 2 year old while daddy went shopping. I'm a lucky guy.

 

I didn't come home with any of the Marvel SA keys I'd hoped to, but I picked up some nice books.

So I heard. The fact that you're posting is testament to the fact you are a lucky man.
