Hello friends,
Well I am back from Summit City Comic Con and had a fantastic
time. I was sad however as my partner in crime and better half was not able to come with me. I had to fly solo heading
out the door at five to make the 10am start time.
The drive there felt like it would take forever but that's my own
fault having not caught enough sleep prior.
I powered through, blasting tunes and listening to SModcasts. I find myself calculating drive times by how
many times I can watch The Dark Knight.
This trip was one and a half viewings, probably ending on the 2nd view
of the interrogation scene…where Joker is getting punched in the face and Bats
is screaming, "WHERE ARE THEY!?" With an hour left in my drive I was
definitely feeling the exhaustion and had the hunger games. I stopped for
a quick bite to eat before heading into downtown Fort Wayne.
I made it just in time with 15 minutes before they opened the show
floor. I had an exceptional table spot being the first row, third table
in. I had the great pleasure of being
neighbors with Instant Press Comics. They kept my
energy up talking comics, movies, and TV.
The show rocked. It was
definitely a print and art show for me this year. I didn't sell as many books as I would've
liked but I certainly did a ton of business sketch wise. I finally caught up to that sketch list
around 3pm. Took a mini break, Cheetos
in hand and walked the aisles. It gave
me a chance to stop and visit con friends, Victor Dandrige, Trevor Mueller,
Russell Lissau, and Dustin Carson.
The last half of the show was on the slower side but I managed to
make one or two book sales and sneak in at least 3 more sketches to end the
day. I packed up and headed home. I stopped to get some Cracker Barrel before
powering through the last hour of my trip.
Spent the evening doing inventory before knocking out to reruns of Man
Vs. Food.
It was a great show and quickly becoming one of my favorite one
day shows to attend. I look forward to
next year. Thanks for having me Fort
Wayne!
