First off!
BEST ACEN EVAR
We were pleased with the many many people who seemed to recognize us, or our awesome color cards(we gave away 400 cards this weekend) or had read or bought from us before.
We also had several Madison, WI people come by to say hello! Three of them had actually been to one of our local art walks, and one or more had heard of our Waldenbooks talks. (Next Waldenbooks talk-June 20th-tenatively)
We found the best place for taking cosplay pictures was behind our table, as we had saw soo many totally awesome costumes, and took many pictures to show.
Other Highlights, Maciek was mobbed by fangirls, BYOB is a certifiable hit. We got to see Eli from PGM again, always a pleasure. Also, Lor, who made our covers for zine 2 and 3, won 3rd place in the Armored Core Tournament! Both SAT and Rain-Arc did fantastic with sales. We were able to hit up Tasty Cuisine once again, this time with a quick call ahead reservation for 25 (That's a lot of comics/writers/gamers!). Wow!
We do have some pictures available:
