"Hey Todd-san! Saw your call for coverage/pics of the Trilogy Tour II at Mid-Ohio-Con. I finally got my film developed and scanned in the few pics I haveof the Trilogy Tour. Everyone from the Tour was there except Charles Vess. Ididn't have a chance to get a pic of Mark Crilley either :( They didn't havethat huge Tour tree that I have heard about and saw pictured on the Mid-Ohio-Con web site 'cause the ceiling in the room they were in was too low. Theyhad the UY finger puppets which I have the whole set of. There wasn't anyTour magnets that I heard of, at least I don't think there was. On the firstday there was a Trilogy Tour II conference where each of the Tour memberstalked about how the Tour was started, about each of their respective comicbooks, etc. On the second day Stan did a "chalk talk" in which he talked allabout Usagi Yojimbo; the characters (in which he did rough sketches of),process of puting UY together, etc."

A piece of original UY artwork featuring Usagi and a tokage (too big for Mike'sscanner, but the majority was fit in so you'll know what it looks like; it'snow framed and hanging on Mike's bedroom wall)
