Convention crowds

[Eddy]

The San Diego Comic-Con's been over for a week now, but I'm still having flashbacks of crowded fans as far as I can see. For a glimpse of the con, the above pic was taken Saturday afternoon when it was pretty much impossible to walk through the aisles of Artist's Alley or anywhere else for that matter. The Gelatometti Sketchbooks were popular sellers throughout the weekend and it was great to put some faces to online names throughout the con.

Thanfully, this weekend's been a quiet breather as WizardWorld Chicago starts up with their first Preview Night this Thursday and I'll be back in the Windy City with more sketchbooks to sell too, filling in for Alé Garza at his Artist's Alley table. And if you just can't make it out to Chicago, I'll also have some more sketchbooks for sale here afterwards, so everyone will have a chance at getting a copy or two.

Seeya in Chicago!

Man, I wish I could attend these huge Cons. I wen to Heroes Con this summer and it was a blast. San Diego appears to be on a totally other level though.

Glad to hear there will be some sketchbooks for fans who can't actually make the shows.

Sigh! Here in Italy conventions are not so huge! But we had the chance to meet Jim in Mantova. Anyway, we have many hope for Lucca Comics:this here it'll take place in the historical centre of the city. Looking for comics under the magic building of renaissance!
This is cool!
:-D

Bye!

^You ain't knowin' why cats jock these heads so hard? LOL... you need to give up one o' those passes to me then. :D

And I can't belie'e there were honeys @ a hybrid ass/taco meat-smellin' comic con. I'll need photographic proof... preferably money-shots. ;]

Peace...

Awesome...I'll be picking up one of those sketchbooks...see ya there!

mic? said...

^LOL! Right on, WillisBerg!

But yeah man, these cats work w/ the illest artist in the game, man. ILLEST. All-Time. So it says a lot about 'em and how they work.

hahah... yeah I didn't come out to Daygo though so I'm-a see what's up @ Chicago other than the chicks @ the porno booths if they even got 'em there. lol...

I just read somewhere that someone thought SDCC smelled like ass and taco meat rolled up into one so I'm-a lea'e that alone.

Get @ me w/ the money shots, though!! ;D I'll see what I could get away w/ @ Chi-Town. lol...

And YANO is hot. But rare. The types o' chicks I see around the Bay that actually like comics are either goth or look like Gert from the Runaways. LOL... google her if you ain't familiar.

Easy, mang!

Peace...

LOL @ soap

Yo... I'm fixin' to just come prepared w/ a bottle o' Febreze. Think I'm playin'? lol... I 'unno how they do in the MidWest so I gotta come prepared. I'll do a lil' recon on Friday and if'n it stank, I'm-a spray that all around me the rest o' the weekend. L!

Oh... and I fully agree w/cha then, too, 'bout a brotha's personal space. I mean, I feel it when heads give folks their due respect and props, but do so, give ya daps and go about cha way. Give them dudes space to breathe and ish. That's some heavy "stick"-ridin' to be clingin' on someone's pair for a while and too closely. Way too much.

Well, off to get ready for my flight in the mornin'. Lookin' forward to that footage, though! Try www.photobucket.com 'cause I think they do video hosting now, too. Check you out in a week, playa'!

Easy!

Peace...

Hey, there's a lot of hot fan girls! (err, I'm not one of them :-P) Every year I see more and more pretty chicas at the comic conventions. If you want more, give a gal pal a tpb to check out...they don't know what they're missing, you just need to find the right comic to hook 'em in.

As for that fanboy stank, yeah, that's one of the negative things about cons. Me and my sister counted 19 times when someone smelled so bad we choked last year at WWC. Irish Spring should hand out free samples.

I was at WWC this year on Saturday (couldn't go all 4 days this year) and I didn't see anyone selling the book. That was one of the few things that I had money allocated for!!! :(

mic? said...

Aww... sorry you still didn't get a chance to cop one, Yano. I woulda sold you one o' the ones I got, but you were swamped w/ internet fans. lol!

Great advice. Maybe I will try to suck some good lookin' chicks into this thing. I'll try giftin' 'em the Runaways. E'erybody loves the Runaways, anyway. 8]

And you ain't never lied about soap. I was hopin' against hope that it wouldn't be funky, but I've been surrounded by stank @ least 4 times throughout the weekend. I threw up a lil' bit in my mouth 2 o' those times.

WonderCon was better!! @ least it smelled better. :D ;] Come out to the Bay next yurr, convention heads!

Peace...
