Today I arrived about 9:30 because I had to make copies of all the entries for the contest. To my surprise, I went over to the table where the Hero Initiative was yesterday, well it had been assigned, no one was manning it. It was now assigned to Aaron Campbell. I was in a panic, where was I going to "host" the contest. If you don't know about my contest, it is the Create a Character Contest. I will talk more about the genesis of that contest later in another post. I saw Cody, then Sabrina, and finally Jim, and he said to use Phil Jimenez' table. I could also take care of his cards. So it was cool.
We had a lot of traffic at our table, which was close to the panel room. I would like to thank Jasmine and Jonathon for helping out today. We had fun seeing people in costumes and we took pictures. It wasn't as hectic as other places, but it was still super busy.
About 45 mintutes later, my friend Max appears that they need my help. More specifically, Gene Ha needed my help. Well he needed my computer, and he was trying to scan a picture but his computer did not interface with his scanner. In the end, his scanner did not work, he believe it was the fault of the baggage handler. I offered to have my brother bring my Magic Wand scanner, but he said he probably was not going to scan. But because I was nice, he wanted to sketch me anotther picture of Wonder Woman. Ok, Gene designed the Tangent Wonder Woman which I am sure no one remembers, but I do. This is a character from 1998, way back. I was walking that aisle and I saw hims drawing my pic and it was so beautiful. Later I saw him finishing it up and we began talking about the character and t characher design. He said he had designed it and was curious how others would draw her. Well, I told him the way he was drawing her was the way people were supposed to draw her. I mentioned that my family was made up of all muscicians, and that my mother always tells us, if we want to know how a song goes, listen to the original recording or the writer of t song. He agreed and we started talking about Gershwin and about his music and how others play his music so differently. It is so fun and exciting to get to know your favorite comic creators and talk about things other than comics.
I was sitting right next to Yaya Han and we almost saw Brent Spiner try on som ears, ahem, apparently he was buying them for the kids. I met face to face some more of my facebook friends which is always exciting, I took a picture with Daniel Giles. Later I hung out with fellow aspiring creators Derrick Smith and Hellbabe about our new Comic Universe.
Ate lunch, and walked around, a busy day all together and I will post videos later.
