Outstanding reports as always.  Thanks again for all the hard work!

Great report as usual sir !

Let the Baltimore Con be a lesson to the Leader...the Leader lost focus during that Con and almost paid dearly with some sort of pile driver to the head.  Avoid these strange creatures in the future and focus strictly on the vendors.  

PS = a fantastic report...as usual...

sad that we didn't make the report...we were right across from heroes and back against superworld, but somehow didn't warrant a mention

...Each time I went by your booth you had stepped away.... bad timing on my part, but that's the story of my life. I had you highlighted on the map .... I saw your stuff, but it was you I really wanted to meet... GOD BLESS...

Weird. I only left booth 1 or 2 times to use restroom, or to cgc booth. Was in my booth 99% of the weekend. Talk about uncanny timing!

...Lewis' tripod collapsed and his wide angle lens was broken.... it cut a couple hours from his shooting time... and he was making his way in your direction when that happened.

Peter Klaus is a friendly and and pleasant person that I've known for many years. But, he does look like a gangster from a Martin Scorsese movie. That only proves you can't judge a book by its cover.

No pics or mention of New Force or HighGradeComics, WTHeck?  That's like a treasure hunting diver floating past a sunken Spanish galleon to get a better look at the local sea life on a coral reef.  Might need to send Booster Gold or The Watcher next time.

I made an attempt to photograph HighGradeComics but the owner Robert Storm didn't want to pose for photos with his merchandise.

Word is Bob Storms is camera shy, if not jaded, after his days as a fashion model.  Got to work harder to get that shot bro.  WWPPD?

Great report.

[PopKulture]

Great voyeuristic fodder. Thanks for these glimpses.

[Ken Aldred]

Absolutely superb reports, brilliantly presented.

I really enjoyed reading them.

Always enjoy "The Leaders" reports and always like that Gene Carpenter gets a nod.  Gene is a great guy.  My time was pretty limited at the show, so I didn't make it over to his booth (although I see him fairly regularly on the local circuit).
