Damper (or stupid things I have done, part 726)

Damper (or stupid things I have done, part 726)

[jimlee]

OK now I've done it. Today I made a young girl fan cry (she was in her early 20's). Not tears of joy, but because I had upset her.

Not my proudest moment at the Big Apple Con. It's a rather involved story and I'm jamming on some pages tonight before I head back to the convention here in New York City for the last day so I can't elaborate too much on it now.

Stay tuned for details.

Life lessons I am sure for everyone involved--certainly for myself.

oooo! finally. some intrigue going on in the gelatometti blog.

kidding aside, we all do dumb things that hurt others unintentionally and the only thing we can do about it is realize our mistake & hopefully get the opportunity to apologize & seek forgiveness. in your case, i guess it means a fantastic sketch for this fan. hehehe!

Rina you are such a great soul!!!
and I have to agree to you sometimes the artist do not know what is done behind his or her back.
Once in convention I wanted to shake hands and give a portafolio to Eddie Berganza but thanks to an a$$h*l* (I reserve the name..I mean what for), I just couldn`t do it!!...Great to hear you are well..JESUS ANTONIO

ps:And Jim is a great guy!!

stormcat,
what exactly did the guard say? i'm sure there are thousands of us who tune in to gelatometti, who are wondering what exactly happened. we'd appreciate the story; and we're glad that everything turned out alright in the end.

Nice to hear all is well now Rina. I went to the convention on Friday and Sunday. Jim was cool and signed my stuff. Jim's line was a little rowdy and on edge today before Jim arrived. He was a tad late, but all is forgiven. Did you forget to change your clock? The most pissing thing about the convention that bothered me was on Friday when a guy was trying to bribe the security guy in front of Jim's table with $100 to be one of the lucky 4 or 5 people to get one of Jim's sketches. The security guy didn't take the money, but I can't respect a fan that would do this. All in all the convention was ok. Certain things could've been handled better or could've been more organized (I'm a little pissed because I missed out on a guest today who left early today). I think Jim did his best to satisfy his fans and have them walk away with a little something to cherish like a signature or a sketch. Thanks Jim!

By the way Jim. My apologies for asking what colored socks you had on Friday. Heheheh!
