Thought Bubble Convention 2008 report

Nov 16, 2008 20:33

Thought Bubble was my first convention as an exhibitor so I don't really have a frame of reference. I had a great time, though, and that's what matters!

It was good, wasn't it? I too have no frame of reference (my first table), and didn't sell many comics; but I had a good time, and spoke to lots of respected small-pressers. The after-show thing looks like it was fun - my kids we're too young to come, so we all went off for a Pizza.
It was nice to be able to say hello; to put a face to the name, and then to put another name to the name!

Likewise, 'Nabbit'!

Yeah, I didn't make much of a profit but the experience is worth all the hard work!

Thanks for the update, I so wish I could've gone!
I've just recently discovered Al Maceachern's work, it's really nice.

Yeah, he's a long-time friend of REET! and a tip-top guy!

ARGH!!! Y'know, I got as far as the 2nd photo and realised I'd walked past your table like 3 times without buying anything. I blame a combination of humanophobia and stupidity! Damn! This happens every con, I always miss something I wanted to look at. The insides of your bright shiny books remain a mystery! ;_; I'm gonna have a hunt through your stuffs see if I can rectify this lack of knowledge somewhat :D

Uh, yeah, this post is kinda useless. Hi! :D

That's awesome! I'm also at work, which makes it also DANGEROUS... eee! doubly miffed, sorry I missed you!

Dude, i can't believe I didn't even see you at the after show party! I was so tired I wouldn't have noticed if Jabba the Hut had walked in though, to be fair. LOL.
Glad you had a good show. Your work is very slick and cute - thanks so much for the comic - I wish I'd stopped being crap long enough to buy something!!
Next time, gadget. ^_^

Yeah, I clocked you in there once but you vanished in a flash! As I said, I think I spent too long in the 'chill out tent' at the start of the night (or queuing at the bar...)! Me and Al went for a mingle later!

Thanks! 'Slick and cute' beats 'sick and wrong'!
