CLS 125 SPX-2008

CARL'S LARGE STORY PAGE 125!!


Heyo. SPX 2008 was a soul-saving blast. I have to say it's been an odd year of cons for me. NYCC tested my limits for reals, and I felt like a fish out of water. MoCCA one he other hand was "my people", and hotly anticipated. Unfortunately it was also balls-hot and had me in a low mood for most of it. Despite record sales, I wasn't that interested in looking at people's work, trading and BUYING. ENTER SPX! I was way not in the mood for it actually, but figured I'd come around, and I had much fun. I have a load of goodies to go through, and spent more than I sold. Gotta get that economy rolling! The new Saturday schedule gets thumbs up. It certainly felt like there was more people than ever before. I didn't really do much in the way of after-parties, but I found my way to the Ignatz which was buzzing. It was cool. A great advertisement for the nominees. Many of whom I went and purchased their books the next day. Nothing like big slide projections of comic covers and seeing some of the winners faces to help navigate myself to the tables for winning purchase! PURCHASE! The floor was awesome. I met many new people. I'm excited to finish my books and have some COLLECTIONS for 09!
