[Ares]

Mine is simple.

Went Friday after work(could not go any other days)

Nice vibe. Great people.

Found the one book I have been looking for a long time( Superman Vs Spider-man) And some Autographed Captain Canuck issues

Bought the Original cover art to ION issue 2.

Met the Cover Artist Kalman Andrasofszky. Cool guy.

Which I had more money with me or I would have bought the covers to Issue 3 and 4

Congrats to all the guys in T.O. I'm sure it was a great show, sorry I missed it by a few weeks.

Nice job on getting all the pre-show news articles, esp. the Women of Comics ones.

[THE_BEYONDER]

Talked with Layton while he signed some of my childhood faves. This Hulk book being one of them....

 

 

Great guy.

So Chris how was the Con in general, Shep said he thought attendance was pretty down based on previous years.

[Kevin Boyd]

A lot of people were saying that to me, but it's not the case. We had a big space, and lots of things going on.

 

I'll have some numbers later this week. But it is my understanding that the Saturday attendance surpassed the entire 2005 attendance (which was around 4200 attendees for the weekend)

 

Because of Women of Comics we had about double our normal guests at the event, so more attendees were in various lines. Plus, we had many "standing room only" panel programming events that kept people off the show floor at various times.

[That Ron Dude]

The event was a big thrill for me. The Shuster awards were a class act.
