Alright kiddies... I just have a few last minute things to do here and then I am off for a weekend of punks, drunks and geeky festivities! I plan to take many pictures, and hopefully of some of the crew here. So Mon or Tues I should have a report for those of you that could not attend. Let the merriment begin!

I had some fun at the Con this weekend! And I met UK and Gots0 so that was cool. I will put a report with pictures up in a few days. Right now I have too much other crap to do. (preparing my condo to be fumigated, with 9 animals here that is a task)

Megacon ran hot and cold this year. We were actually busier and made more money on Sunday than Saturday, though most of our book sales were on Saturday. I inked sketches non-stop from 10 to 5pm Sunday. I finished the last while they were turning out the lights! I met Pip and her boyfriend Saturday, she's a very cool lady. She took some pics, which I'm sure she'll post. Tommy Gots0 came through on Saturday, too. Backtracking, Friday was fucking deserted, it was dead. I renewed my contacts with Tommy Castillo and Jimmy Palmiotti, two really stand-up guys. I talked to them Friday and Saturday. I talked to Bob McCloud and Drew Geraci, great inkers. Talked to George Perez, he was cool. Met a Marvel and Top Cow inker named Rob Hunter who went to the Kubert school with Jerry Beck. I only had one bad experience with another pro, who will remain nameless not because I'm afriad to name him, but because I will one day fuck this guy if it's the last thing I do and I don't want him to see it coming. Saw Boxx and John every day and had dinner and drinks with them Friday night. I inked 4 {I Think} Vigil sketches for them, plus a sketch by somebody else whose name escapes me. These guys are loud, abrasive and insensitive and are also some of the most die-hard, loyal supporters Tim and I have. They have been especially cool to me since I went pro. I first met them a year and a half before I got my first job. The guys set up a mini-bar behind us and supplied various potent liquid refreshments. On Sunday they brought their lovely friend Shelly. Shelly has it going on with a seriously bumpin' system in the trunk. Sweet girl. Boxx an' Shelly: Here's {part of} John and a sketch of The Monstrosity that Tim drew and I inked. Here's the Castillo sketch pre-ink. Doug got away before I could take a pic of my inks. Here's a piece penciled and inked by Tim: Another {my favorite}: Saturday and Sunday made this a fun con, but a mediocre one as far as money goes. Brian Page made it for Sunday and the crew all had refreshments courtesy of John, Boxx and Shelly and afterwards Brian, me and little Timothy had a meal at the fine dining accomodations at the Orlando Hooters. I sold about half the books I brought. And Tim's new drawing book, which is talked about somewhere on the board here in a thread I don't have the patience to read, is a MUST for artists and people interested in comic/fantasy art. It's an excellent book.

I thought Joe was going to ask Tim if he'd make some available online for us here on the boards. I really want to get a copy. Not sure when I'll see Tim at a Con again, unless he'll be at Wizard World Philly in June. And thank you very much for that nice report, Mr. UK! Sorry to hear the money was mediocre, but it seems like you had a fun time. How did you get to sit next to Tim? Did you arrange that or was it just chance? I like that last inked sketch by Tim, too.

Alright I just edited 44 pictures. But now my brain does not want to function enough to put them all up or write out the story. So I will at least show you guys the pictures of the board members here. First we have the man himself working and throwing left feild comments out to the crowd. Then we have UK here, giving the love. Now here comes my favorite. I saw gots0 and told my man to take the camera and get a picture from behind and then get a picture from the front. Now I want to say that I am very pleased with this....because it turned out great.... Now a friend of mine came up and I talked to her for a few minutes while my maxipad sat boldly on his back. Note the pad on his back in the background... And then of course we got the full frontal... Okay now the part I love the most is his brother (I cannot remember his name). His brother saw the pad on his back from the other side of the table, he did a double take no less. I thought for sure I was busted. But he came over and talked with us and never said a word. I even so much as hugged gots0 again (which isn't so bad because he is a good looking guy) and made direct eye contact with his brother while I rubbed the pad on firmly. I even pointed at the pad and smiled. He never said a word.... Props go out to your brother dude. He fucking rocks! Now my question is did he ever tell you that you had that on your back? Because I know full well you never said a word to UK. Okay, and just so you know, I laughed the whole time I typed this out. babydoll, you were targeted by the Maxi Pad Mercenary, a proud member of....the Pad Bandits.

And just so you know...
It was all done with love. I am all about the love. And I can promise my victims they have received the kind of love like none other they have had before. *smiles sheepishly*

No one ever told me. I guess I deserved it after the UK fist incident.
