Things I learned from WWChicago Con 2006

one.
I need to bring my own water and food. I paid almost $8 for a tiny slice of pizza and a small cup of pepsi(which was filled to the brim with ice).
two.
I want more money to spend. I went over to the TopCow and Aspen booths first and then made a B-line to Artist alley. I bought a print of [link]" a moon<>from kristin. After that she gave me another print which was equally awesome of Kiani (my favorite Fathom toon). She directed me to another artist, Stuart Sayger, from whom I bought a print. So it was in my head then that I wanted art, art, art. I found Tony Moore (walking dead) and just about lost it. The Walking Dead is my favorite comic right now. Bad thing was, he was charging $75 for sketches. Thats a lot, but I REALLY wanted him to do me as a Zombie. So next year I will get one, I just need more money to spend on that and buy books at the same time.
three.
Attend more panels. I loved the ones I attended, those being Peter Stiegerwald's coloring class, and Peter David's writing class. I need to attend these for two VERY important reasons. One being you learn a ton about comics. And, two you get to sit down for at least an hour. My feet were my downfall Saturday. It's hard to have as much fun as possible when you feel like you're walking on rocks barefoot.
four.
Have a better camera. Last year I had my film camera which is an awesome camera for art photography but not snapshot as it is manual/analog. This year I borrowed my dad's digicam which was awesome until I realized that it takes several seconds to save the pictures and if you say, do something with it before it's finished saving, you lose the pic you just took. I took ALOT of pics at the con, but only four saved to the camera....
Overall.
It was superfluous! I had SO much fun this year. I got many great comics including the excellent first trade of Girls from the luna brothers. I also got lots of inspirational art from some excellent people.
Kristin, you rock.
