WIZARD WORLD CHICAGO: Day Two
Busy day! Our feet are still smarting.
The hall was stuffed to the gills and our new hour-on and hour-off table shifts kept everyone from going bonkers. We had a fine time with our neighbors to the right of us, Andrew and Steve from Strange Fun Comics. We're surrounded by Canadians! But they're a jolly bunch and have helped pass the time between interested passersby. Steve caught my eye with a Pink Floyd illo he'd hand-colored, so I knew this was a man who could draw me a Neutro! (Yes, theregoesneutro.com is still being updated--patience!)
The Art Books are doing well, and Ian and Will have gotten the bug to do theirs, so we should see those soon, as well as Jeremy's. I called Jer and he was on a mountain in Oregon. There were moments in the massive sensory attack of the con that I desperately wanted to be him; but then I remembered I'm allergic to everything and had another bottled water while I was blasted with reconditioned air.
The napkins in the Expoteria have gotten very nice this year...good stock that takes well to the pen. A good deal of ZOO FORCE 4 is being crafted on them.
We're back in the room now, percolating a Rainforest Cafe meal and cheered by the later opening time tomorrow.
Oh, A very nice young lady from another table came up to tell us that Jeremy drew a Captain Cat sketch in her sketchbook last year and that everyone who's seen the book since has remarked very positively about it. It's the page everyone loves. I think I'll put in another call to that mountain tonight...
