Well, here's a quick report on how yesterday went.
The day was busy, but didn't seem as hectic and I'd gotten a bit more used to the constant drone of the crowd... even the wrasslers and the announcer seemed a bit quieter.
I saw the kid who was injured yesterday and his forehead was patched up with several sutures underneath a dressing. He seemed OK and was able to walk without staggering.
The highlight was having more time than Saturday to chat with Gail, Nic, Scott and meeting the livin' legend that is WhiteRose. :) ...I'm glad my bearhugs didn't dislocate something !
Scott and Craig ( Nic's husband ) are as great a pair of blokes as I've heard... You two gals did alright !
Amanda Connor and Jimmy Palmiotti shared the art and autograph table with Gail and Nicola and they were really sweet and funny. I'm still amazed how they almost constantly drew, signed, chatted, drew, signed, chatted and so on with all who came. Nothing was a bother and it's apparent the admiration they have for their fans is genuine.
For me, all of the above signed comics I brought and I purchased some amazing fine art ( the page from BoP where Catman gets over-excited and licks Helena's face on the dance floor :) ) for a steal. Nicola also kindly gave me two black and white sketches, one of Huntress ( with disappointing eye holes... NOT ! ) AND that beer she offered me recently. :D ...Thanks again, guys.
Rose, Gail, Scott and myself sat down in the break and had a lovely chin wag over a cuppa before the panel show. It was a shame the schedule was so tight that we couldn't talk longer, but it was quality time well spent.
I missed seeing Billy West, but no biggie. I did see Cath, who works at Dee's in Belconnen and again saw Mel ( Melbourne Mew Mew ) at the panel show, but AGAIN didn't get to talk face to face ! Bugger again ! I met Emmanuel and Rob, a coupla cool guys.
Emmanuel ( sp? ) is a budding artist and Nic implored him to get into the biz after he gave her one of his works.
It was a damn fine day and I'll be makin' tracks to attend both Sydney and Melbourne Cons next year if I can arrange time off on those dates.
...Due to my lack of tech' know-how I'll have post the pics I took later when my friend Veronica has time to show me how to. :o
PS. WhiteRose is a real cutie !
