Saturday was the busiest and longest day at ComicCon. I started the day on the empty show floor at 8:30am and it finished at the Hyatt "BarCon" around 2:30am the following day.
Here’s a few selected highlights.
– Walked the floor before the doors opened taking a bunch of photos.
– Had an impromptu meeting with my editor for a upcoming gig on a licensed property and pitched him some story ideas – he loved them, now we just have to get the license holder to sign off on them.
– Learned a whole lot about some of the design secrets in Watchmen from Dave Gibbons.
– Got to meet the original (and best) Bionic Woman: Lindsay Wagner.
– Had two publisher ask me to send them the proposal for a book idea I’ve been pitching.
– Stopped off for a chat with a movie producer who is interested in the concept behind a novel I’m working on.
– Being introduced to and having a long chat with a couple of high profile artists.
– Wondering why I keep bumping into the same two or three friends around the show floor, while I don’t see other friends for days.
– Friendly informal "Tokyopop alumni" dinner with fellow creators and our ex-TP editors.
– BarCon at the Hyatt – mixing with what seemed to be most of the professionals at the con. So many people that the crowd spilled out of the bar into the lobby and even into the plaza in front of the hotel.
