Megacon
Wow, Megacon Kicked all the ass, then found some more ass to kick I didn’t even know it had.
Letsee.. Sorta started on Thursday.. I ..Turned… 30.
So, being thirty now, I have to admit part of me was really feeling like a looser for surrounding my life with funny book art and toys. With age is supposed to come maturity, but I have to reflect the statement of the “jack” side of Tyler from fight club “I’m a thirty year old boy..” but I’m getting past that hump… maybe that’s a mid life crisis? Mid life means I can expect to live to around 60.. yay.
So any who, Thursday was cool. We went out to eat at “bucadepepoes” came home and started to prepare for the Con. Lots of preparation. Julie and I got to bed fairly late.
Friday, Got up to continue the prep and load the car. Julie found she had to take her mom to the Lawyers for some stuff. We worked out getting me to the con and were trying to figure out how to get every thing un packed (my car was like a Tetris game). We grabbed a quick “lunchfest” after hitting the bank and getting change (we had to go twice ‘cause Julie forgot the check book the first time.) So running late already, Megan calls. I forgot to get Ken!! GHAAA! Ready to hit my head on the steering wheel in frustration (trying so hard to organize and remember EVERYTHING - but failure is a constant), she mentions maybe Tanya can get him up to the con later, GENIOUS! But it didn’t work out, and I am very sorry for that. I asked Julie why she didn’t remind me, and she thought that Ken was riding with Andrew, who was also working the con and needed help. I remember hereing that (from Andrew, no less) but was trying to stay out of what was happening because I didn’t want to get any thing screwed up. So much for that Idea.
Friday night we got to go see “cursed” Angela and Alain came with us. I really like hanging out with Alain, we get along well.. witch I am happy for but must admit I find almost odd now and then. My mind also bitchslaps me when I see Angela and Julie stand together and talk. I really love how they get along- and it makes me happy to see that- its just sort of funny :) any way, I hope we get to do more things with them in the future (have to get a LAN party together, Think Alian would dig that)
Saturday was astounding. We almost sold out of Mikes “suck it” shirts, and sold a few dwarfs and a Tink. I had a lot of commotions, sold three prints, and even sold two of my originals! I was tied to the table most of the day, with an opportunity to stretch my legs once or twice. It seams like when I left was the time I sold the most T’s.. Every one wanted a sketch when I was there.
Saturday night we were supposed to go to dinner with Raven, The Guy from Arsenic Lullaby, They Studio who puts out Bubba the redneck werewolf, Derrick, and a few other creators.. Well, Andi fell into a deep coma like sleep - So we opted for going home and letting her sleep, and doing the same ourselves.
Sunday I was drawing much better then Sunday at Fx. Mostly cause I got some sleep I think. I drew a lot more commissions, and sold a record number of Tinks (Well Record number being four, but that’s four in one day! Rock!)
Sunday I bought a horse load of shit. Lots of toys and movies. One guys indi comic cause the name caught me and he was selling it for a buck! I didn’t have to much luck contacting the out side world as my phone was dead, and Julies had one bar and no ones phone numbers programmed. I looked in the Actors area to see if I could find the voice of the Crypt keeper.. Didn’t see him, and some one else was complaining that he didn’t show. I didn’t’ see Sam Jones, but I didn’t have my flash disk any way.. Mercedes Mcnab passed my booth a few times.. She was cute, but I found it funny how I wouldn’t normally have given her a second look.
Sunday night we rounded out with Dinner at Don poblowes. Jess, Todd, Mark, Derrick, Jeff, Julie, Andi and my self had dinner with Art, Creator and artist of “Patrick the wolf boy” he was great, and now I have to buy all his books. Fun guy- he also cleaned up selling simple sketches for a buck a pop… have to remember that.
