[Hey Kids, Comics!]

Gotta work that Saturday. Reason 42 Rick's Charlotte shows are better (I'm always off Sundays)!

I went last year. Pretty decent little show with a solid guest list. No Earl Shaw last time, maybe this year.

Earl can't make it again.

 

Will be Greenville/Atlanta Super Bowl weekend before we see him again.

So that will be Greenville on 2/5 and Hotlanta 2/6? I'm working the 5th but will try and make it the 6th.

Tomorrow

[RickHigh]

Attended the show today and had a great time looking at comics and talking to some of the dealers. The Palmer Building provides a great atmosphere for this small con. I snapped a few pix and thought I'd share...

 

The Palmer building

 

Shelton, the great innovator, provided pony rides for the kids outside the building. No one riding here, but there were quite a few young ones having a great time.*

 

Chris Foss, hard at work.

 

Crowd shots

 

David Shankle had some nice books, as usual.

 

Shelton had some nice GA books.

 

Shelton Drum.

 

A great show, as usual. I am lucky to live in a city that has so many great shows during the year. Between this show and Rick's (capt. comics) quarterly one day shows, not to mention the yearly Heroes con, there's always another con just around the corner.

* I don't really think Shelton had anything to do with the pony rides, but I didn't ask him, so, who knows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Hey Kids, Comics!]

Shelton and the horse were connected somehow as they mentioned it in their blogs and con updates.

I just want to know how you got a picture of Foss with his mouth shut. It may be the first time I've seen that.
