I don't know what made him the ringleader, but he's just got that kind of personality and charm. So on the Friday night I went out to dinner with Scott Mccloud and cast. Either way, a fun read.ĭinner and then a rousing game of "5-Card Nancy". Which makes it have a nice life to it, although feel miandery. In the meantime go her site at or her comic on that site "Return to Sender" (scroll down), I want to write that I read somewhere that it has no plot, she writes it kinda' panel-by-panel. I wish they still had copies, because I'd say "Buy Mostly Acquisitions" to read "Babeland". Glad I got to meet her.Īnd Vera Brosgol, Vera. I like Erika's sense of things and she seems serious about comics. I hear tell she has a new comic she hasn't posted yet (Erika! When?!), but check out To Go for now. Erika Moen (along with Dylan Meconis, who does a fun vampire comic there) runs a site called projectkooky, and does various drawings and experiments. I'd not met them before, but was familiar with Erika's work. They found my in the Escher Mall, with bread and hugs. So, getting down to business, first of all I had the opporunity to meet Erika and Vera (plus someone else with them, who I can't seem to recall, but in my defense, I met a LOT of people at the Con). So, this won't really be much of a diary, glimpses here and there, but mostly pictures and links (I added some of the links to this page on the left). So I'll stop whining and enroll earlier next time. True, I wasn't alone, all the past-last-minute enrollers were put there. I was not pleased myself to be in the dark way back corner away from all the other indie-comic people, over in the back area which I dubbed the "flea-market" area, as it specialized in comic resale of old stuff and such and such. Oh, and to anyone who tried to find me and had little luck, or it simply took ages, my apologies. And thanks to Stan, of whom if he didn't volunteer to share a table, I may not have gotten one, and may not have gone. Thanks to Trail, who in a few hours gave away 3 times the number of postcards I had given away in the entirety of 4 days.
Thanks to Kip and Jenn who table watched and were instrumental in convincing me to even go. Thanks to Tony for picking me up and dropping me off at the airport, as well as being so helpful in my getting my many boxes of books there. First of all, thanks again to Kate, who hosted Kip, Jenn and myself during our trip, as well as just being an amazing person who it was a joy to spend time with. So I went to the Comic-Con International July 31- Aug 4, 2002.
