Hi Kyle!

Thank you so much for offering to attempt this.
I really wanted to attend, but the afternoon timing is bad for me.
I was at the Frank & Sons event 2 weeks ago and was able to get most of the artists there to sign my book, and I was really looking forward to getting more at this event, but I just can't make it :cry:

I'd like to place a request for:

Aragonés print - signed by Sergio, Tom, and Stan and personalized to me as "Michael" or "Maichan"
Sakai print - signed by Stan personalized to me as "Michael" or "Maichan"

I'd like to get some others, but I've already gone over budget with the Artists Edition of Groo that I bought yesterday.

Like Maka, I can Paypal you ahead of time if needed.
Michael, a.k.a., Maichan

MY SHOPPING LIST:

Roel: Sakai, Aragones
Steve: Sakai, possibly Stout
Mayhem: Sakai, Morrison, Stout, Aragones
Maka: Aragones (personalized to "maka" by all three)
Steve: Just Sakai, unfortunately no Stout

Now that we have some prices, I will have to limit myself to just Stan's print. :roll:

[EDIT] My neighbor across the hall has apparently been dating a married man, and turns out the guy's wife is a little psycho. She came by the apartment complex one night last weekend and slashed all his tires, busted his antenna, did his car up all nice. And, unfortunately, she thought MY car belonged to my neighbor and she vandalized it as well. Fortunately, all she did was broke off my wipers, arms and all. Not expensive enough for an insurance claim, but still enough to put a dent in the budget. :roll:

I'll pick up the prints and once I figure out shipping costs we can just do a single PayPal transaction at that time. No need to pay me ahead of time.

Hello Kyle,

I sent you a PM, since I am new to this forum.

Would love to get one from Stan, Tone Rodriguez and Ricardo Delgado.

Thanks,
-Adam

Okay, based on the reveals and prices so far... please pick up for me if possible (and in this order of priority if you can't get all three) Stan's piece, Morrison, then Rodriguez. That's takes me to $110 if you get all three, which is fine, plus shipping on top afterwards. No personalisation on any please :)
With a breeze comes a storm, but then you'll all be washed away...

I called the Meltdown Comics store and they didn't want to take a credit card or paypal payments today even for people in another state. They said it's only for the event and people in line and the items were coming from the creators. Something about the store not wanting to deal with shipping out of state. :evil:

I tried but they wouldn't budge on taking phone orders for the prints or the book by phone orders.

I really wanted to get the Sergio Aragones & Bill Mirrison prints.

If anyone scores extras, i'll buy...

I'll see what I can do VikingSpawn. The Morrison I should be able to get since I'm only getting it for one other person. Sergio's might be harder if I run into purchase limits.

Don't want to leave anyone in suspense. I got all the requested prints. Once I pick up shipping materials, I'll let everyone know the costs.

Awesome! Thanks Kyle!

From the photos, it looks like it was a good turnout (for fans and artists) :D
