Back from Fallcon

Report from Fallcon

This past weekend, three of us (Maciek, Ray & me) drove up to Minnesota for the annual comic con - Fallcon 2009 (http://midwestcomicbook.com/) , put on by the Midwest Comic Book Association. I got a bit confused when filling out our registration but the lovely organizers got it all fixed out - Thanks Nick and David!

Fallcon's held on the Minnesota fairgrounds and it was a bit chilly in the coliseum, but I appropriated Maciek's hat and was just fine. There were so many great comic books to pick up, we left with significantly heavier bags and lighter wallets. Sales were on the light side, but we got to hang out with friends new and old at the Fallcon dinner and afterward at Ginko's coffeeshop (http://www.ginkgocoffee.com/) - also a great spot to pick up afternoon coffee to keep us going on Sunday.


And now a few shot outs:
