I have to agree with Todd, these photos and scans (almost) make up for not being able to attend; but it's just too long a trip from Berlin to Detroit... :wink:

Thank you again for posting and sharing the experience.
Greetings from overseas

Thank you for the photo and welcome to the Dojo, Kacyjf;

Boy, MCCC really had an impact; new Dojo members popping up, telling their great stories...

My envy, already noticable before, grows with every single post :wink:

Ok, just joking on the last one, so keep it coming!

Judging by the cloth draped over Scott Rosema's table, the photo was take before the con opened.

The funny thing is, I have that exact same photo in my camera. Sharon asked, "What were you doing at that con? I'm glad Sergio was there to keep an eye on you."

The night after the con I was lying in bed looking at some of the Usagi trades I'd brought with me to read on the plane and things and I made a happy discovery. The Usagi con sketch Gary bought me for my birthday is printed on the back cover of the latest trade!

Yaay! Not only have I grown extremely fond of the piece but it's a published one! Woo hoo~

Update from Montreal:

It looks like we have created at least three new Usagi fans on our travels so far. It really helps having original art to haul out... and at least 8 of the trades... and a few single isssues !

Yaay!

oh, simply by showing some of my peers (other artists ) my acquisitions and my passion. They have all really responded to the cover of Usagi 101.
