Buck and I went to FallCon yesterday at the State Fairgrounds. Brrr! It was cold walking from the lot to the Con. It’s the first con we’ve been to, so it was also a chance to plan for next year. I knew a couple people that were there and one of Buck’s co-workers at Target had a booth there. Unfortunately I have some virus that gave me a very sore throat on Saturday and since I was Lead worker at the ‘berry that day I was talking quite a bit. The result is I have no voice. I feel like our old cat, Sara, who would meow but nothing came out. I would have liked to have had more discussions with the attendees, but it was pretty hard to get any volume. I did point out that superheroines would have a particulary tough time of it in Minnesota. Those revealing costumes loose something when the heroine has a parka on to keep warm. Mr. Incedible always seemed to be eating. I got some Green Lantern titles from a fellow from Iowa, and a few JLA titles from the Half Price Books booth. Good deals, but I went a touch over budget. I did have a nice time chatting with artist, Mark Sparacio. I picked up some of his work. Sadly, he was out of the Vampirella print. Oh well, there’s always next year. Here’s his site. marksparacio.com It was a fun afternoon and this fanboy had a great time.
Today I still have no voice, it is snowing out and I need to clean the basement.
