Baltimore Comic-Con finally a 3 day con Sept 5-7, 2014

[Firespitter]

Girlfriend called me at 6am this morning;

"Hey. There's some kind of comic convention going on downtown. You should go to that!"

 

Me (Who had the night before been contemplating whether to play the 'I need to work on my car this weekend' excuse or the 'I'm really feeling under the weather' excuse): "Um....yeah. Really? A convention for comics you say?! There is such a thing? Maybe I should check that out!"

Should be on the convention floor by 2 pm.

 

I'll be the old guy wearing white shorts with blue polo and sporting 'distinguished' hair.

How many people are going to be redoing invoices for onsite based on the modern rollback announced today and effective tomorrow?

 

 

Richie is doing one for me. Because he is awesome.

[genrlzod]

VIP line moving. In shortly.

I went today. It was my first comic convention - I've done sci fi and anime before, but not comics I had a lot of fun, and met several great people. I'm happy I went, and want to thank everyone who was patient with me and gave advice or shared information with me I am sure most of my questions today were fairly newb-ish, but everyone I spoke with was patient, and happy to talk.

 

I sold a few of my books, and found a title I was unaware existed and picked up a few issues myself. Overall, a fun day!

 

Thanks again!

Best buying show I've been to and I haven't really worked hard

Tons of comics, and dealers ready to sell. Best con I've attended in 15 years.

Sales were brisk for us today at booth 508/608. Fat stacks of BA-MA table books flying out at $2each or 3/$5. Come on by to shop, sell your books or just to say hi

I can only picture the words "hard" and " work" relating to Greggy something like this: "it is really hard to get Greggy to work"

Here is my loot from Baltimore. Thanks to Ted @ Superworld for a good deal on a tuff book to find that presents well!

You had a lot of traffic I wonder why?

[Noble Nostalgia aka Nikelspot]

I'm having a great time. I've needed to hang out at my booth most of the time (mainly because my dad has little to no knowledge of comics , even though he looks pro in the pics below) , but I have had decent sales, have given some good deals, received some good deals, caught up with old friends and have been able to meet and converse with several boardies that I have known for years online but have never met in person until this weekend.

 

All in all, good times. I'm in booth #615 near Earl Shaw and Mr. Weekend's Posters. Come at least say hi tomorrow and if you are looking for a good deal on a particular book (s) , come see me.

 

[JollyComics]

Is there a protocol for meeting greggy in person?

 

Yes, walk up and whisper 'wake up' into his ear.

 

 

Did Thor strike your hotel again?

 

FYI, last Friday, I had no power after a great storm for 25.5 hours!

Ok, Joe. The girls didnt hurt businesss....

[Joel Elad]

I had a good time at the show, wish I was there earlier to shop. Friday was almost surreal in how easy it was to walk around and navigate the show. Any future Baltimore trip for me will always include Friday, I couldn't remember the last time it was so easy. It was fun seeing my fellow East Coast boardies and of course the guest list was superb. Hope y'all have fun today, I have to head back already to the land of Cali.

[Ryanmassacre]

Good meeting you joel.... It was also good to see all the other boardies what a fun con can't wait for next year firiday is defiantly a must for next year

Crazy awesome weekend, to everyone I saw, thanks for making it a good one. My bad luck streak at comic con has finally been broken. Huzzah! Pictures to come later.
