The airplane was on time and these days that’s a big deal. We got to Chicago, went to the Hotel, dropped off our luggage, and went off to the convention. Managed to get our badges and find Peter’s table where we spent most of the rest of the day.
Ran into a lot of old friends and acquaintances and met some new people. Talked about the Jets with George RR Martin. Had a chance to chat with Jill Thompson and got Caroline a set of the Magic Trixie books which she loves. She did a couple of drawings for Jill. Hug Billie Tucci. And met a lot of fans. It was interesting. A number of people were glad to meet Caroline so they have a face to go with the tales that are told of her. Overall everyone was very friendly and helpful which is great when you are short on sleep.
Caroline set herself up and starting making pictures for sale. She sold 23 pictures and made $25.00. She had fun doing that and reading her graphic novels.
Peter signed a lot of stuff for people and made a lot of people happy.
Right now Peter is off with the Marvel gang, Caroline is watching Shrek 3 and I am taking it easy.
Peter has a full calendar tomorrow and Caroline and I are off to Wrigley Field to see the Cubs play the Astros. Depending when the game ends, we might go back to the convention or we’ll go straight back to the Hotel.
I am grateful for easy and swift travel.
