Thanks for posting my con report, Todd. There are three pages of photos at ComicBookResources:

I'm on the second page.

I came back with two UY 100 posters, which means that two of you who requested one did not pick them up. It was no trouble for me, but I hope you don't feel as if you lost out. I had a list but, with the crowds, did not keep track of who got them.

I had a couple of images in the souvenir book, both Groo related. I had a full page 7 panel strip: Groo vs Usagi--who would win, and a jam drawing for CAPS (Comic Arts Professional Society). I also had a drawing in the Anthrocon souvenir book, that took place a few weeks ago.

*faints* I got in the video clip! Thats me in the back, in the ugly shorts and butt white legs.

I was helping out Leo manuevre thru the con and costume assistance.

If by some crazy circumstance they end up unclaimed, I would love to have one eventually if at all possible. I assume that those who originally requested them will come forward, but just in case, I wanted to throw that in here.

Also wanted to say thanks again for being so nice to your fans!

I was gonna say the same! I didn't request one because I figured they were all gone, but if you really need a home for one of them, I would be MORE than willing to take care of it!

My rule has been that I will hold things until noon Saturday of the con, so I guess the two orphan posters are spoken for. Cynlee and Bwbollom, e-mail me your mailing addresses and I'll send one to each of you. It may be a while though, because of my injured knee I'm not taking my daily walks to the post office.

Mr. Sakai,

I could not find an email address listed, so I sent a PM through the UY DojoBoard Forum. Hopefully you will receive that message...if not, please let me know a better way to send my mailing address to you. Thank you very much for offering to send the UY 100 poster! I'm very excited to see it!

I saw pics of the Usagi cosplayer on one of the cosplay.com boards so far.
(Eurobeat King gallery, Friday)
I am so sorry to not get a chance to have met the person while wearing my Leo costume. I would have enjoyed a photo op!

I had a great time at the Con, including the joy of watching one of my TMNT message board friends meet Stan for the first time.

My biggest regret for the Con is the buses ran too slow and I couldn't get to the Dark Horse booth meet up in time on Friday. Someone told me I missed all of you by less than 10 minutes. argh!
Buslady, cynlee and some others were excellent helpers for me. So at least I got to spend some time with them.
And Stan and family were awesome as always!

I forgot to mention that DH was giving away b&w manga-size books of covers and stories. It printed the cover to UY 106 (I think). They also gave away bags, cat masks (for Emily the Strange), and large cardboard 300 shields.

That post about the riot is hilarious. Yes, I know it's not true, but it is still well-written and almost plausible in a convention hall packed with geeky fans!
