DR.X's Cheap, Trashy, Worthless Wizard Con Report

[mysterio]

I personally think the layout/setup this year blows.

Its awkward, there's no flow to it - it was just annoying.

 

I have to say that I was worried but it hasn't been the disaster I feared it would be. It certainly isn't ideal, but not a total CF. The worst part is CGC being upstairs and all the artists downstairs, which makes getting a SS witness challenging.

 

Of course, it's only Friday. Tomorrow may be an utter nightmare.

The staging area. Worthless.

 

 

 

The guy in the white button down and black tie grinning directly at the camera made me .

Going out to get some dinner after a lot of walking. Stay tuned later this evening. Lots of pics, gossip, and more pics.

Especially if the escalator brakes down again!

I'll say one thing. There are some killer books at this show. Seemed like most of the dealers had some really good stuff, if you had deep pockets.

 

First booth through the doors was Graham Crackers. I was just starting to look through a box when some unseen force came up behind me and put me in a bear hug.

 

Not like me to let someone get the drop on me. I figured it was someone who knew an old Indian trick. It ended up being Greggy.

 

Graham Crackers wall books.

 

 

Beautiful wall pics. Doc Joe picked up a book for me that I saw in this one.. Thank you!

 

My commission is?

Traffic was a disaster again. Tommarrow should be a nightmare, but you don't want to here me beetch, you want pictures and stories.

Crossing the corner on River Road. I ended up on the roof of the parking garage, and traffic was backed up as far as the eye could see down River Road.

That is a true statement.

[DR.X]

Once inside, I decided to check out the layout of artist alley, and visit Hotflips booth. Lots of cool stuff, and I'll be going there tommarrow to pick up a few things I saw. Tons of people in there, including these three characters.

I thought maybe this guy was trying to be a smart azz wearing that mask. I should have said something.

Ran into more boardies today. Nice to put a face to the name of some.

 

I talked with boardie Rick Starr for a bit again. Man did he get some killer books. I hope he posts them on the boards later.

I talked with John Verzyl a bit and took some pics of the books in his case. Wow is all I can say.
