Eh.
The con was smaller this year than last (which puzzles me) and the guest list was severely anemic. I was hoping for more. We did attend an excellent panel with Terminus Media on Sunday. We also met some cool guys from Sidebar Nation. We hope to perhaps offer our expertise to the con itself for a panel or whatever they like next year. We’ll see.
We bought a really cool pinup from Tyson McAdoo. He’s a very nice guy and I love his art. We didn’t have the cash last year, but this year: yah! :-)
This con has a ton of potential. I really hope it can bring together the various art groups, comic artists, pop art artists and other crazy art people in this town. I think if they can pull that off, this will be the preeminent art show in the SE. That is what we really need around here!
I’ve got my fingers crossed! [Update: sadly, ACE succumbed to that Con Killer DragonCon and is no more. Let’s hope DragonCon gets sued and dies so we can get some good cons going instead. See related DC post. – A]
