-Joshua

[WillSchnevel]

I know I'm going. I'm gonna get in free because I go to this guy's house every Friday for an art class. He's worked for DC, Dreamworks, HannaBarbara, etc. I'm super mega excited! :D

[LiL QoH]

I'll be there :D

[nick reynolds]

When is this almighty shin-dig? I'll probably be there since im 6 hours closer this year.

[JoshuaTheJames]

Cool.

I think it's in July.

-Joshua

[fukifino]

I was thinking about going. But if a bunch of you CA goons are going I'm staying the hell away!!

....

Just kidding :D I'd probably go just to meet some of y'all, even though I haven't really talked to any of the CA'ers from around here. I have the registration form at my house. But I probably won't sign up til I move at the end of this month.

[N D Hill]

I'm not sure if I'm going but something I'm working on will be exhibited there.

[lyon]

I am headed out this year. First time I have gone. Should be fun!

Howard

[deschamps]

I'll be there! I hope to meet a bunch of you.
-Eric

[JoshuaTheJames]

ahhh cool! Howard and Cire!

-Joshua

[chukw]

I shall attend!

[deschamps]

most excellent!

[JoshuaTheJames]

WOW. Chuk's coming this year. Actually I was wondering if you were gonna come.

-Joshua

[I.was.ink]

Oh, I'm so there!

I cant wait to meet you guys. Cire, hopefully we can talk this time. Last time, Android was doing my portrait and I couldnt talk really.

hope to see u guys there! :)

[WillSchnevel]

looks like I may meet you again chuk. :) i met you at the las vegas comiccon(i doubt you remember though), i was the dood asking you some photoshop questions, forgot to thank you for those tips. :p

[cybercyst]

I am also going...they have great seminars/lectures every year. I avoid the exhibit hall because it's just plain crowded--especially on Saturdays! Ugh!:rolleyes:

[PhilHolland]

I will most likely be attending this year. I missed last year because of work, but this time I have July and August off.

I usually stay at the Wyndham.

Gah. I better get on this soon. I need to register and get my reservations in......

Btw, Any of you guys hitting E3 this year?
I met Sean last year which was cool.

Cheers,

Phil

[CENOBITE]

well... i'll definitely will be going. gotta preregister tho... dont want to be stuck in that mile-long line like last year.

[JoshuaTheJames]

This will be great guys!

Make sure to wear a black suit and tie. We will prove the sunglasses. :cool:

-Joshua

[cybercyst]

heh..I like looking at the costumed people; last year I saw at least 3 Trinitys and 5 Agent Smiths...but I only saw 1 Neo. :cool:

[Rockhead]

I was there last year and it was a ton of fun. I am going to try and come out this year too. It would be cool if all the conceptart.org people had some kind of identifying symbol on their tag or a wrist band or something so we could pick eachother out. I guess you could also just write your conceptart.org name on your tag under your real one (or instead of).

[dzu]

I'll be there. Suggest you all stop by the Watts Atelier booth and say hi to fredflickstone. He and Jeff do life drawing demos every year in the conference rooms. They usually have 2 sessions per day, and last year they did a traditional/digital painting demo as well. Check the programming schedules once they are published.

[Chris J. Anderson!]

I may be there. It was very fun last year, first time going. I met a lot of great artists, Stephan Martiniere, Donato G, J. Foster, comic artists, etc. Very motivating.

[JoshuaTheJames]

MAY BE?

"DAMN IT WHAT THE HELL!?" -S. Snake

-Joshua

[mtomczek]

Phil: Theres a ton of people going to E3 this year. We are meeting up on Wednesday the 12th at 1:00pm at the Galaxy Cafe thing inside the convention center.

[PhilHolland]

mtomczek - cool beans. 1pm on the 12th in front of the Galaxy it is then.
I'll bring my portfolio and camera!

Cheers,

Phil

[Chris J. Anderson!]

Yo Josh, yeah I'm definitly going. I'm trying to get some new work finished before then. But I be slackin hardcore sometimes. It will be very cool to meet those of the ConceptArt.org folks who are going. It was great last year but I think it will be even more fun this year.

[johnsaulrubio]

I'll be there with a bunch of Austin Sketch Group peeps.

[SaltyDog]

I'll be attending both E3 (got a bunch of meetings to sit through though) and Comic Con. We definitely should have identifying marks on something for all of us Conceptart f00s.

[JoshuaTheJames]

How bout rice hats...

[GhostofMacbeth]

Gonna be there again this year unless something really major ccomes up ...

[fredflickstone]

Here is a blotto to think about.


Jeff and I are teaching at least 4-6 workshops. As a group, you should all go to them. As a group, we will all meet at our schools booth after the second and third night of the con, and as a group, we can either go to our school and have an art pow wow, or go to a restaurant and have a Concept Art Powwow...lessons included free from me if you want any instruction while we all meet.


I hope my wife doesnt kill me for this...heh


Ron

[PhilHolland]

Awesome Ron. Sounds great.
Thanks,

Phil

[Muttonhead]

I am definitely going to try to make it. I wanna meet Cire600 too! hehe.

So many going to San Diego, but not so many it seems are going to E3. Anywho, hope to see you all there!

[Chris J. Anderson!]

Hey Ron thanks, that sounds very cool.

Muttonhead, I went to E3 once before, it was great, but I've been slowly falling away from the videogame world.

[Skank]

hot damn...this sounds like alotta fun!
since i wont be able to make the workshop in june im gonna seriously look into goin to this, i would LOVE to meet all you guys and get some lessons from ron and jeff..hopefully ill be able to get the money and the time off =)

anyone know a good place to stay? share rooms? carpool?

[fukifino]

Ron's going to be teaching workshops :O :O :O Well, hell, now I HAVE to go!

BTW, are these workshops on the program anywhere? Should I be trying to sign up in advance for them or what? Or are they pretty much just free attendance auditorium dealies?

I've got my new address so I'll be registering for the Con this week. :D

Skank, you gotta try to make it. :D

[stacy]

not to sound like a complete n00b or anything.....but can someone explain to me what it is exactly? cuz im kinda close.....well kinda ...is there an age limit? does the con (?) cost anything? gahh im so lost...laugh if you must:bash:
-s

[GenConfusion]

I'm gonna be there, I with a friend have a table selling our wears...

you guys should stop by, I'd love to meet everyone face to face...

I'll be listed as Bob MacNeil and my partner is Mike Mattesi, I believe our table will be relatively close to the lounge area... Mike is selling a life drawing book he created, some of you may be interested in checking it out..

drawingforce.com (http://www.drawingforce.com)

note:( my last name is different than what is listed here because I am currently changing it, back to my original which is MacNeil)

hope to see/meet you guys there

[RCabrales]

I'll definitely be there...

stacy - Comic Con is a Comic Convention in San Diego...it's fun so you should show up....it's $35 for Saturday and Sunday i think, but it's free if you volunteer for 3 hours....

-raúl

[fletchgirl]

going! :D (wow, as a word by itself, "going" looks like "boing"... just thought I'd point that out....)

[stacy]

do you have to sign up for it? cuz i dont know if i can go but i reaally want to. volunteering is fine by me:D

[fukifino]

You have to sign up if you're going to volunteer. Otherwise you can buy a day pass at the door, I believe. But it's more expensive that way and you'll probably have to stand in a long line. At least, that's been my experience with other conventions.

[DARKWATER]

I'll be there, mainly at the DARKHORSE booth.

[dns2k]

standing in a HUGE LINE is common place at the con. i have friends in artists alley so i usually get my passes from them. i highly recomend volunteering if you dont have the $$$ to blow. its easy and mostly get stuck talking to artists (well doing their dirty work by running for water and such)

all off the Watts Atelier demos will be in the program guide. just look for jeff's name.

still i think an identifying symbol or something would be cool, so as we are all oogling the artwork we might look over and see a fellow CA member.

-dns

JUNE IN AUSTIN... JULY IN SD... BRING ON THE ART!!!

[Tolkemia-Neo]

Hi guys, I'm a new entry, I did not know where to introduce myself! Help me!!!!
The works on this forum it's really amazing, I hope to learn so much!!

ciauz(equal "bye" in italian slang)
Tolk

[feeb]

I'm gonna be there. I hope to meet up with you guys. I'll try to make according to Ron's plan, but how about just scheduling a restaurant to meet at on, say Thursday night?

Also, Tolkemia-Neo, you couldn't have picked an odder thread to post your intro in. You should have gone to the root of The Lounge (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=2), and just post a thread, as the sub heading indicates: "Post introductions, Talk with friends, ask general queries, anything goes!"

Go there, blah blah blah. Welcome, though.

[JoshuaTheJames]

Ah cool, Feeb Diesel is gonna be there!

-Joshua

[I.was.ink]

Hey fellas. We'll all be there by Friday right? I wont be there till then, and Im not sure where the restaurants are. But in case we dont see each other at the meeting point or cant make it. How bout we put our pic up in the thread so we know who to look for?:)

Hows that sound?!

-Iwasink

[dns2k]

i of course will be there thurs and am willing to meet up anywhere to do dinner down town.... this con is going to be a blast!!!

just got my tix to austin... should be bad ass!!!


we should all wear conceptart.org t shirts on one of the days. anyone wanna create a design for us to go get iron on prints for? :P


-dns

[fletchgirl]

no. we should definately write CA really, really huge on our foreheads. that'll prove who's really with us.

;)

[Android]

ron that sounds awesome, im definately in!!

[mule2mustang]

Ron,
Forgive me for just discovering this thread, but can you tell me a little more about your workshops at San Diego this year?

MG

[WillSchnevel]

yeah, the idea of us all going to workshops is totally awesome! A little more info too, like where is it, when is it, etc.

[jwo]

i need to find a place to pass out .

[dns2k]

m2m- not sure when ron will see the thread but traditionally they do drawing from life demos with a real model, talking about the different aspects and approaches to solving the picture. knowing ron he will bring everything to the table. last year he did a digital paint while jeff watts did a traditional oil, both were bad ass. there are usually 4-6 demos durring the con.

this year he is wanting to gear it more torwards comics as well as traditional. It will definately be time well spent

-dns

[jelanen]

I am going to the San Diego Comic Con this year.

I acually saw that demo last year and was in awe how awesome the pirate came out in how short of a time. I learned a ton from that. Just, seeing things done. I haven't experienced that before since the only art class I took before was a printing class (long story =B).

I was just beginning the artsy last year and it was amazing seeing the contrast between traditional and a digital medium. That demo is one the things that helped spark my interest in painting to take the leap to go from a Theater major to a Painting major, seeminly at random to the unobserving eye. ;) Kudos to you guys. Awesome job on the demo. =D Thanks for having it. I'll definately go to them again this year. Thanks.

It would rock meeting other artist types. *hops* I don't have any plans for the Con other then knowing I am going, so whatever you guys decide upon is cool.

[chukw]

Anybody renting a booth who'd like someone to split the expenses with? PM me!

[Imp Head]

I'll be there, hopefully with table space.

[I.was.ink]

Thats great Imp. Maybe we can meet there(at your table) on a certain day and time so we can get to know each other more. Plus, I'd really like to meet you Imp(Brian.... right?).

Iwasink

[tumbra]

I know I'm gonna be there. Hell I can walk there from my apartment.

[tumbra]

I'll be there as well.

[fukifino]

Glad to know both of you will be there. ;)

[AmishCommy]

Bling!!!

I'm definatly there! I'll be hanging out at the Allen Speigel booth or in artists alley with George Pratt and Durwin Talon. Glen (GhostOfMacbeth) I know you'll be there.

We should start a Post-your-Pic-for-the-Comic-Con thread. Tshirts not a bad idea either.

[U2DeathBear]

i am going this year too :)

[ansonjew]

Come visit me at the "Babes In Space" table in the small press section!

[ken wong]

c'mon ca.orgers, get your heads in the game. eatpoo challenges you to a drinking contest. or a drawing contest. or wang waggling contest. we'll kick yer arses.

-Ken

[My_Fault]

I was supposed to move in to my new house that weekend but screw it I'll move another day. The chance to hang with Ron and more CA guys is something I won't pass up. Woot!

[FIG]

c'mon ca.orgers, get your heads in the game. eatpoo challenges you to a drinking contest. or a drawing contest. or wang waggling contest. we'll kick yer arses.

-Ken

What if you are an eatpooer and Ca.orger? Do you challenge yourself to a drinking contest?

[Imp Head]

Every god damned day.

[fukifino]

ROFL :ahha:

[fukifino]

Gah..who unstickied this? Comic-con's still a week and half away...at least wait til it's over so other people might see this. :(

[Groover McNab]

Thanks for bumping this thread up again Fukifino. I'm going. What's the deal with he CA get together?

[Skank]

c'mon ca.orgers, get your heads in the game. eatpoo challenges you to a drinking contest. or a drawing contest. or wang waggling contest. we'll kick yer arses.

-Ken

dammit! if i was going id take you all on myself.....sorry guys, youll hafta drink my case for me

sounds like a blast! yall have fun

[AmishCommy]

Where's everyone staying?

I'll be at the Manchester Grand Hyatt just a few blocks from the convention center. I'll be buying free drinks for anyone who has the mad job hookups. I also be wearing a Black T-shirt with my Logo on it (check out my site to familiarize yourself with it). If i know you make some room in oyur lugage for a t-shirt.


I also started the Post-your-Pic-for-the-Comic-Con thread (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=25059/) a while ago but no one replied. Sob. Sob. You all suck!

[Helium Macaroni]

I'll be present... most likely with all the other Art Center nerds.

...I gotta brush up on my Klingon!

[fukifino]

I'm just drivin' down from OC, myself. I may go Thursday night, but I'm definately going all of Friday and most likely Saturday. If no Sat, then Sun...depending on how I can shuffle my other plans around.

Is anyone planning on meeting at a particular place/time?

[Groover McNab]

How about someone just call a time and place? I would but I've never been there before so I pretty much don't know anything about it. All I know is I wanna spend a good chunk of time at the Watts booth.

[AmishCommy]

Is WAtts Gonna be there? Will he be reping himself or the school? I say we make the Watts booth our table of operaations. Some one start a sign up sheet and we'll come up with a time on Saturday that doesnt conflict with anyone's plans (too much). we can finalize the time on friday and post it at the booth. (if Watts don't mind that is)

hows that sound?

[fukifino]

Sounds like a plan to me (as long as Watts don't mind)...I know there are several demos (like 1 a day I think) given by Ron and Jeff listed on the schedule. Composition Friday, Portraiture Saturday and Life Drawing Sunday if I remember correctly.

[Groover McNab]

Sweet. Well I just looked on the comic con website. Watts is gonna be in booth 1632, between the heavy metal and top cow booths it looks like. See if you can find it in this map, damn this thing is huge.

http://www.comic-con.org/cciassets/cci04_exhibithall.pdf

[tinyhands]

Since it seems like alot of people our gonna be making their way to the Watts booth, just so you guys know, the booth is really really small. Its only gonna be like two tables. Plus you might not see Jeff at the booth most of the time cause of workshops and stuff. Theres only gonna be a few instructors there so its pretty low key. And knowing from the past, unless people are there to ask questions about the school and stuff, I wouldn't count on making the booth a "hang-out" spot. Its really congested through the Heavy Metal booth and the Watts booth. The booth is so small that having 6 people in it is almost too many. Heh. Just letting you guys know.

-tiny

[I.was.ink]

If he doesnt mind that is. So what do you guys think?
Bomba?

-Iwasink

[FIG]

Well I don't know any of you but I'd sure as hell like to meet some of you. We should all wear some name tag or label on our forheads or somethin that says-Conceptart.org member.

[AmishCommy]

Damn you Tinyhands with your "Logic"



how about this: Personaly I feel like i need work on my Composition so i'm gonna try my best to make it to the friday workshop. If Jeff and Ron don't mind I thought we may be able to use their booth as a way of getting some centralized information about meeting places. the reason why i thought about the wastts booth is that i just found out about the school and i want to spend some time picking Jeff's and Ron's brains.

Also any of the portfolio review lines would be a good place to meet up as well.

I'm planning to spend a ton of time in the Artists alley and if things go like they did last year, George Pratt and Durwin Talon should be in the same area. (last year they grouped all the painters together so JonFoster was right accross from Jon Van Fleet and Durwin and George) I think i'll put CA on my badge and hope someone notices.

[AmishCommy]

oh i just remembered, last year to talk to dark horse or DC you had to go through the orientation first thing on thursday. I met a ton of people there just waiting for someone to show up and talk to us. That would be a perfect place for those who are gonna be at the con fos the whole week.




Look for me looking like a dumbass with a "I'm a CA member" taped to my t-shirt

[JoshuaTheJames]

Chukw is also going to have a booth in the artist's alley!

Don't forget to bum rush his table!

;P

-Joshua

[chukw]

Hey, m'bitches! I'll be in Artists' Alley at DD09, when I'm not paintin' at the art auction or stumblin' around... and drinkin' at the Hyatt after! Pweeze don' neglect me! :dorky: The Dorky is my new favorite smiley, btw....

[I.was.ink]

hey, why dont we meet at chuckw's booth at a certain time on life friday or saturday? Whatdya fellas say? Chuckw?

-Iwasink

[Rathbone]

I'll be there all weekend and I hope to see some familiar faces from the workshop. Just have to look for fukifino since I definitely know what he looks like and follow him to the group. Usually I've spent most of the time in the different lectures and movie related events and this year I plan to look for more art related ones and then a couple days in the hall, nothin definite. I'll be lucky to find anyone in that huge hall...

[eezie]

Are lurkers allowed? :crosseyed

[fukifino]

If Chuck's down for it we could make his spot the meeting area. Who knows, we might create quite a stir and attract a large crowd of people to look at his work. ;)

Honestly, I'm up for anything. Maybe I'll try to find some masking tape and, like a huge dork, tape "conceptart.org member" on my chest and backpack.

For those of you that don't know what I look like, I'm 6'6", long hair, will be wearing a black oakly backpack...yeah, that's probably not gonna help in that place. Oh well, I'm sure we'll work something out. :dork:

And lurkers? OMG NO LURKERS! (and um...I'm not serious...the more the merrier I'm sure. :D )

[chukw]

That's fine with me as long as nobody blocks the peeps around me! McNallyism will be there, too. I'm working up a big (20x24) acrylic painintg for the Art Auction, so I'll be up on stage a fair amount, too. Peeps watching my table? Like I'd complain... :hh:

[FIG]

Well this all sounds great, I took some classes at Jeff Watts school since I live right down the street so I'll probably be there at the Watts booth with some Penciljack.com members and at the other booths mentioned. I can't wait to meet some of you there if I manage to catch you guys. We all really need a sticker or something so that people recognize each other. I'll probably wear a concept art.org one and a penciljack one.

[AmishCommy]

i'm fevereshly printing portfolio packages for the con and trying to get a few more illustrations done. wish me luck. less than 2 days left



oh this has nothing to do with the con but I had to deliver some sculpures today to Vince McMahon's (WWE) new Condo on the beach here in Boca Raton, FL. That pad is Fucking Pimp!!!!

[RCabrales]

we should all get together friday night and saturday night after the convention and meet for drinks somewhere in the Gaslamp....

i definitely would like to just hang out and sit and chill with you guys and just talk and make new friends....

there's tons of bars and places to hang out Downtown....

-Raúl

p.s. we should all decide on a subtle way to identify each other (like putting a red sticker on our badges or something)

[RCabrales]

Hi chuck, i'm glad to see you've got a booth. I'd definitely like to meet you. What days will you be there?

-Raúl

[dzu]

I spoke with Ron Lemen/fredflickstone this afternoon and he said for anyone who is interested to stop by the Watts Atelier booth at 630pm on Saturday night. He and Jeff Watts will be doing demonstrations Friday/Sat/Sun and everyone is welcome to attend the demos as well.


After the Saturday demo, we can meet at the booth and then decide to grab dinner and/or go sketch etc.

[rogfa]

Don't know if anyone knows about Scott Robertson and Neville Page being at the con. Discounts on Gnomon titles and demos. Sounds cool.

--Roger


http://www.drawthrough.com/
Hi Everyone,

Neville and I will be heading to the San Diego Comic-Con July 22nd through the 25th, and hanging out in the Design Studio Press booth number, 1701.

Please come by and check out our books and DVDs. We will be selling all 34 Analog DVDs titles at a show special price and our books, Concept Design, Monstruo (The Art of Carlos Huante), Quantum Dreams (The Art of Stephan Martiniere), AVP (Alien vs. Predator making of book) and How to Draw Cars the Hot Wheels Way. The last three are new and will be introduced first at Comic-Con. Our authors will be doing signings throughout the show and the instructors on the DVDs will be doing rendering demos during the show as well. Watch this spot for the exact days and times of specific rendering demos. Thanks again for your support, hope to see you in San Diego!

[FIG]

Awesome, i'm planning on getting some of those books and dvds. Also, I took Ron Lemens storyboard class a while back and loved it, that guy can draw and is my hero.

[chukw]

Raul, I'll be there all four days- my wife and I are driving down from LA tomorrow afternoon. See you there!

[Groover McNab]

Awesome. Plenty of places to spend time at. Gonna pick up another DVD or two at the Design Studio Press booth I'm sure.

[FIG]

Hate to sound redundant but ChuckW, what booth will you be at?

[Scott Robertson]

This might be a bit redundant now, thanks to Rogfa, but here is a bit more info.

Hey all,

I've just recovered enough now from the Austin heat to head down to the Comic Con in San Diego this week. You are all welcome to come by our Design Studio Press booth, #1701 and check out the new books we have arriving. We will have Alien vs. Predator, Quantum Dreams (The Art of Stephan Martiniere), How to Draw Cars the Hot Wheels Way, Monstruo and Concept Design on display and for sale. In addition we will have all 34 Analog DVD titles for sale at the academic price of $49.- ea. Carlos Huante will be around doing signings and demos on Thursday and Friday. Neville Page will be doing demos on Friday. I will put a few things down throughout the show and we should have Feng Zhu, Ryan Church, and James Clyne around on Saturday. We have a great big LCD attached to my laptop so watching along should be fun. When your feet get tired come on by and take load off! See you around the show.

Later,

[Groover McNab]

:shocked:

Ok. This just keeps getting better and better.

[GCastro]

this is going to be great. Is anyone here gonna be selling copies of their sketch books?

George

[chukw]

Will be at DD09- am currently flying around trying to get ready for liftoff! :rock:

[AmishCommy]

well it's 2:00am on the east coast and i'm still printing portfolio packages. My flight leaves at 8:00am, weeeeeee. Still have to finish an illustration.


GCastro - I may have a packet i can spare. I'm printing 20.

[PhilHolland]

Okay. I think I'm coming down Friday and Saturday. Not very planned at all. If you see me on Friday, sock me in the arm. It's my birthday.

:) Phil

[FIG]

Will be at DD09- am currently flying around trying to get ready for liftoff! :rock:

Cool man, I picked up my badge today at 3:30 and I wills top by tommorrow. Can't wait to maybe see some conceptart.org'ers there and at Watts booth.

[FIG]

Haha, I went to the Watts booth and nothing, I saw no Conceptart.orgers. Tommorrow I'll try ChuckW's booth. Anyways I was at there talking to Jeff Watts and Eric Gist for a bit and then I left.

[dzu]

Well Ron's invite is for 630pm on Saturday, which explains why nobody was there today (thursday)...:)

[tumbra]

I put my online name and conceptart.org on my badge. I'll be at DRAW! booth (1837) at 12:00 if anyone is interested in meeting. I'll be wearing brown shorts, a gray T-shirt blue ball cap. Looking forward to meeting you all if you want.

[FIG]

Well I'll be at the Con tommorrow to pick up my sketchbook from Lesean Thomas. Other than that I've also altered my badge which reads 'FIG' so say hello if you see my ugly mug. I may stop by Jeff Watts booth again. See you all there...........maybe. I'll also be picking up Carlos Huantes book, I saw it but decided to get it tommorrow. The Aliens vs Predator book was rumored to be flying off the shelf.

[Groover McNab]

Just got back from the con. Got to talk to Jeff Watts and Ron for a bit. There was no demo yesterday (friday) from what I can tell, I didn't get there til 5pm though. Busy watching the Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean panel. Never ran into an CA people though :rolleyes:

[PhilHolland]

Groover! I think I saw you while I was talking to Brom. When I finished up I couldn't find you! Dammit.

DNS2k, thanks sooooooo much for dragging my ass down there on my bday. It was more worth it then I could possibly explain.

Phil

[Prometheus|ANJ]

Phil, seems like we share b'day.

I wish I could goto SD and all that. There's no interesting conventions here, not that I've heard of anyways. Maybe I could get my ass over to Berlin though.

[fukifino]

OMG...Brom WAS there??? I saw him mentioned in the program but couldn't find him listed anywhere!! OMG SUK!!! :( :( :(

I never ran into CA people randomly (except for Brad, who's a nasty lurker ;) ). Did have a great time talking with chukw, tegehel and Imphead at their booths though. All three were super cool, especially tegehel. You rule man. Was gonna say hi to Bomba but he was busy talkin' to someone else.

Gah, I kinda forgot that people were getting together after tonight. :/ I was so freakin' hungry though by 5:00, and I had acquired a Bradstreet print and a print from Cyril that I didn't want to get damaged that I just decided to bail. Ahh well. It was my first time, but I'm definately going to make it a regular thing. Con rulez. :D

Phil - Oh maaan! I was actually wondering if you were there or not. Oh well, next time :D

Had no idea Brom was there either, I was just kinda wandering aimlessly. That place was huge! I'll definitely have to have more of a gameplan next time.

Dude, Helium..I know the feeling. On Friday I made the mistake of discovering the Heavy Metal booth...where everything was 50% off. Bye bye money! :/

I think a burger, fries and soda ended up being $100 - $150??? Something like that...
