All in all it was a totally amazing experience for me. My first convention, the Jet City Comic Show, ended in total disaster when I sold 3 or 4 comics, couldn't even give away any low budget comics for free, and got laughed at by a guy dressed as Batman. This show was different. There where crowds of enthusiastic alternative comic readers all day till the very last minute.
I went unprepared with only 15-20 copies of each of my four comics, a couple home-made wizard beards and stickers and TOTALLY SOLD OUT of everything I had. I would have thought at the point that all I had left was one lowly comic and a tumbleweed, it would make me a pariah but I sold every god damn one!
Here's a couple sweet trades I picked up at the show
EBBITS #0 BY MICHAEL LITVEN
A COLLECTION OF THE BADASS SUPER MINI'S OF MAX CLOTFELTER
KELLY FROH
A TOTALLY BADASS HANDMADE COMIC BY TAIT HOWARD
"THE SKELETON LAD AND HIS FANTASTIC CHASE"
which is totally great but I'm a total asshole and accidentally bent the front cover.
AND FINALLY MY TABLE MATES FROM EXQUISITE BRAIN

To any of you that came to the show thank you so so much for visiting. I had such a great day.
