Where do I start this Tale?
Apr. 21st, 2008 10:30 amI will start with Thank you to everyone for your kind wishes and thoughts for me. I really appreciate it.
Wow. NYCC has gotten to the point of sensory overload that I had always felt for San Diego Comic Con and they got there in three years. SDCC is still bigger but NYCC had come a long way in a short time.
Barbara Kessel and I were talking about the fact that the owners of the convention pay attention to what works and doesn't work from year to year and make improvements rather than just let it slide because it is just a bunch of fans and they are use to being treated that way. I am sure there will be some more changes implemented next year to make it even more wonderful for the fans. There are a couple things they have no control over like that fact that the ATMs seemed to have fans of their own with lines longer to get to the machine than there was to get to some of the talent. And there are a few rules that are venue rules rather than convention rules that they can't change
Overall the fans seem to be having lots of fun. There was defiantly a lot to do and see. Everyone who visited the table in artist alley, I want to thank you. Y'all were a great group of people to met and talk to. For all the people who gave me a face to put with a name or Internet name, it was nice to meet you in person. For everyone who bought artwork from Caroline (more on that later), I appreciate it. She took her earnings and spent it at the Mattel Booth on Hot Wheels cars based on the Pixar movie Cars.
I got to see a lot of the convention because Caroline was willing to settle in at Peter's table and earn loot. She was drawing pictures of a waterhorse which is based on the film "The Waterhorse". We recently got her a small toy based on the film which she loves dearly. And she has been drawing her version of the critter. So she took the other chair at the table and set herself up to draw waterhorses which she would encourage people to buy from her. She is a really good salesman and by the end of Saturday had earned $32.00. She doesn't quite have the idea of her signature down yet so everyone who asked her to sign got a bunch of random letters. I'm sure some people took her picture and if you happen to, I'd love to see it.
More on this either later today or tomorrow.
I also know that I need to put up a New Who Review for "Voyage of the Damned".
I am grateful for everyone who bought a drawing from Caroline.
