Don't get me wrong, I still will not buy an issue of the magazine and I am 100% sure I will not attend the show next year unless things change. I still consider Spat someone that needs to learn people skills and he will never be a favorite person of mine, I actully pretty muich think he should of been let go from the company last year for drinking at the con. I belive that while he is there, that is "on the clock time" and I have never heard of any job that let's you drink "on the clock".

Thanks glad to have met the group and to join in.

The Yoda artist was awesome, having remorse that I didn't buy more, had a ton of awesome prints like it, and his website doesn't have any more for sale right now

Overall it was a good one day convention (not comic convention)...I just miss the old days when I could be busy for all four days at a Wizard con. I was ready to leave around 4:30 after getting in at 11:30.

I managed to get to meet and talk with Adam West, Julie Newmar, and Burt Ward and also to get some books signed by Grell, Darrow, Sienkiewicz, LaRocque, Azzarello, and Joe Madureira. I also got a page from Secret Six #24 from Jim Calafiore for a great price.

My main concerns was the line getting in for prepaid people vs. people just walking in and paying cash on Saturday (45 minutes in line vs. about 10 minutes...we almost got out of the prepaid line and gave $35 so we could get in a half an hour earlier) and the fact that many of the artists would only do autographs at specified times of the day (Grell, Golden, Texeira among others). Since the times were almost simultaneous I had to skip Golden and Texeira. I know that they need the time to do their commission work, but it makes it difficult to get to them all during limited times.

Also as usual, the air conditioning system sucked royally. I much prefer the C2E2 location over the Rosemont.

Dish, em-effer!

heh, he was at the bar and he was talking to a female fan and she hugged him. Appearntly he felt that her hug was not a approriate hug, so he schooled her on proper hugging. I get up to get a picture with him and he puts his arm around me and I tell him, I wont hug him like the last girl did and he puts both his arms around me, puts his lips close to my cheeck and says, "Oh come on baby." I lost it. I don't think I will ever forget that moment.
