Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The Next Gathering

Just got home from the con. I had a great time hanging with Mr. Tom Fatsi!
I met Yildiray and gave him a cool tee-shirt I bought for him a couple of weeks ago. In return he gave my a copy of his sketch book, which is chock full of Legiony goodness!
I got to talk with Gail Simone, Nicola Scott & the incredibly fabulous Amanda Conner, who had one of the longest lines for sketches in artist's alley.
I yelled "J'taime" at Olivier Coipel, & he replied,"Merci".
I purchased a page of Legion original art from Adventure #2 from artist Clayton Henry( where Garth visits Mekt on Takron-Galtos ), but my special lucky purchase was a pretty decent copy of Adventure #300 for 25 bucks!!
I searched all day for fans dressed up as Legionnaires, but couldn't find even one!!

My Saturn Girl bikini was at the drycleaners, Alec... Sorry!

Hey, if it's good enough for Sun Boy...

oooooooHHHHH! I'd have LOVED to have been there!!!! Why can't everywhere be New York?!?!!?

I got to speak to Gail Simone too. About writing comics, Lian, and why I want to write and what. She was a lovely lady and she remembered the Valentine I wrote her on the DC Boards.

I finally got the birthday gift I've been waiting for from Joe Prado since last December. It rocks.

My brother bought me a Camp Crystal Lake t-shirt.

I finally got to spend more time with Nei. We walked around for a bit with my brother and one of her friends. I bought her a pair of gloves. I only got like, eight comics, but my commission haul this year? The full mounty is:

I can't believe how nice everyone was.

Oh! I also ran into Bill Walko, the guy who runs the Titans Tower website. I wouldn't have known it was him until I saw the portfolio he was carrying had the picture of the Titans in the band on the cover.

Really wish I could have gone to NYC Con. Maybe next year, especially if it isn't in Sept or Oct when traveling so heavily.

I plan to go in a suit & tie and act like I'm important and stuff. If someone asks who I am, I'll say I'm Rhino's agent.

Does anyone have any problem with my posting my sketches in the Convention Sketches thread even if they aren't all Legion characters?

Hey guys, I really hope I'm not spamming or crowding this thread, it's just I'm so glad I can finally show off some of the sketches I got this weekend and I'm really proud of this one (along with three others I haven't scanned yet). My exuberance is never ending.

And this was a birthday gift from Joe Prado I've been waiting for, for ever.

Maybe change them to Thumb sized images for us to click on. It'll make the thread a little less "big"

Sorry. The truth is my brother scanned most of them because I kept screwing up. I won't post any more until I can figure out how to make them thumb-sized, kay?

[thumb] instead of [img]

Thanks.

I posted more con sketches in the Convention Sketch thread.

Those were awesome SK! Thanks for posting.

Not sure if I'm much of a draw for Legion fans anymore, but I'll be at the Mid-Ohio Con in Columbus next weekend, Nov.6-7. Come and say "hi" if you're so inclined!

You're a draw for any comics fan, even if some of them don't know it yet! I've always heard great things about the Mid-Ohio con. Hope you have a great time!

The Eisner-Award Winning Ronda is always a draw! Which, incidently, is how I would write my signature if I were you

FYI online tickets sales for SDCC'11 have been put off until November 22nd now.

...and now they've been put off again (no new date, yet). Apparently, the servers of registration company that the SDCC goes through were overloaded with requests:

FYI, when they do become available again, we are definitely getting a table in the Mezzanine - M-16 to be exact.

I hope that many of you guys can make it.

Sweet! I'm planning to be there next year, so if anyone is interested in sharing hotel space, let me know.

Really wish I could afford to...just do not see it happening next year.

Alas, my kitchen renovation set me 'way back this year. I don't see any travel in my immediate future.

OK, everybody start playing the lottery.
