As promised, a few photos from yesterday's convention. Most of the very good photos that don't have to do with me personally will be going up in two batches, along with my con report, on ComicMix tomorrow. Still working on that report. But you won't be able to enlarge those photos like you can enlarge these by clicking on them. If anyone in these photos or in the ones going up on ComicMix wants me to email them the originals, please let me know.
The inimitable Michael Netzer, all the way from Israel. Because Mike sat opposite us rather than next to us, we didn't get a chance to chat as much as we did the last time he came in a few years back, so I'm more grateful than ever for the internet!
I sat next to Robin on one side and Scott Roberts on the other, so I got to see a lot of Scott's doodling. Doesn't he do a great Bugs Bunny? If you click on the photo you should be able to read the whole thing.
I had been talking to Vinnie Bartilucci about how he was probably my longest-standing friend at the con, as we knew each other before I was reading comics, before my first husband even. Then Derek Tague (above) showed up. While we still exchange holiday cards, Derek and I haven't seen each other in person in at least a decade. We know each other from, can you believe it, Uncle Floyd fandom, which I got into right after college as I recall, so that's almost three decades now. Scary, boys and girls!
Here are two of at least three inkers whose initials are RR. If Rick Remender had been at the con, I would have taken his photo alongside Robin and Rodney Ramos. Rob and Rod know each other from Marvel UK, Rod was the brash American. Um, still is. But a total sweetheart. And he let me flick through photos on his iPhone!
It was way cool seeing Val D'Orazio twice in one week! Here she is with her sweetie Dave Gallaher, writer of Zuda Comics' High Moon. In my opinion, Val and Dave are destined to be comics' next power couple. I have a better (more posed) photo of them in my ComicMix report, but I liked the casualness of this one.
Lots more photos up on ComicMix tomorrow. We left around 6 and had a quick dinner at a relatively quiet KFC, after which we missed the express bus by two minutes and had to wait another 45 for the next one. I figured, why not take my mind off how achy my body was becoming in the increasing cold by snapping a photo of the holiday decor at Macy's?
The effect of the tree is really cancelled out by those bright lights atop the building, isn't it? But hey, it's not for actual pedestrians to enjoy; like everything else surrounding the upcoming parade, it's all done for the TV now.
I thought the decorations at the Time Warner building at Columbus Circle were very pretty, but because of the bus movement and my camera taking forever to click the shot (I need to reinstall the smaller memory chip so it works faster) it took four tries just to get this.
No such luck with Yankee Stadium. Hope you've enjoyed the pictorial; I'm going to go make dinner now.
