San Diego Con 2013 Gathering

[adamstrange]

Another SD Con has come and gone and, for the 8th time, the gathering at RareHighGrade's was the highlight of my trip. Mega props with ruffles & flourishes to Peter and his family for hosting this invasion of geeks ("Don't be alarmed, we have comics!" )

 

We started with a snacks out on the patio (no pics this year, but it's just a beautiful as last year linky. Peter's lovely wife provided salad and homemade brownies and lemon bars to complement the pizza.

After supper we retired to the dining room comic viewing room for a little show and tell. All but one of us had brought comics to share. (I don't want to embarass the one that didn't but his initials are Matt Nelson.)

Jeff brought a jacket full of Jokers -- he has an unfailing ability to pick the best looking 8.0 - 8.5 copies.

The theme for this year was Good Girl Art, best represented by this sweet selection of Church copies from our host.
