Yes Kevy I will share photo's with you!!

Ponine: I will give you my play-by-play.

Sergio is awesome. I was at the bar at the Eisner Awards and he cut right in front of me making a joke that I was too young to drink. Anyone else Iwould have beat senseless but Sergio is just such a funny person and a fantastic artist.

FYI all - he does Groo the Wanderer and all those tiny gag cartoons in the corners of the pages of MAD.

RE: Comic COn being too big. I think if they cut down on all the "fluff" they could stay in San Diego. There are just too many booths that have little or nothing to do with Comics. All the studio's and Gaming need to have thier own con. I started going almost 15 years ago and it's grown about 5 times what it was. It's a blast but taxing on the mind and body and pushing thru a line up of sweaty fan-boys who don't shower waiting for Boba Fetts autograph can push one to drink. Its a wonder there is such a thing as Bar Con at Comic Con.

That is sadly common in many conventions/trade shows - booths hawking the latest cleaner or home alarms is just plain annoying. However, the also pay. Organizers originally started letting in foreigners to fill empty spaces, but often it further turns into leverage to raise booth prices. Since obviously the convention/etc. SELLS OUT, it must, therefore, be very popular. Kind of a win/win for the promoter and a lose/lose for the guests and true vendors.
