The Official CGC FORUM DINNER Pictures Thread

[jbud73]

With the CGC Forum dinners growing in size and frequency and being the best part of many conventions, I thought it would be cool to have one thread dedicated to pictures from the dinners. I will start with Wonder Con '04.

Garthgantu and Me (Garth hates this photo which is why I love posting it)

 

 

Dinner at Bob's Chop and Steak House (or whatever its called)

 

I know Jimm94 has the 2005 WonderCon pics. Please feel free to post your pics taken at the Dinner specifically so we an index of them all in one thread and show other forum members how much fun they are (they really are) and get more people to attend.

Good idea. I decided to include pics from the con floor as well. I think people outside of the Bay Area need to see how cool WonderCon is, even though it is much smaller than SD or WW Chicago.

Thanks Jim that pretty much covers off a large portion of WonderCon 2004 and 2005, now where are the other Forum Dinner pics (from the East Coast) - you slackers Oh and next year I'm bringing MY brand new digital cam so you can get back in some pictures.

 

Oh and the pic of Carbo, Paris Fred and me should be captioned Jbud73 - drooling as Paris Fred displays his Byrne-Austin OA page from X-Men 115, um I think it was about there - I was in shock so my memory didnt totally lock it in.

 

I think Beyonder and JC would have passed out on the spot at the OA in Fred's collection.

The Byrne page was for a customer of Fred...he doesn't bother with the "modern" stuff, only classic stuff like Wally Wood and Kirby FF pages. But yes, his OA collection is very nice.
