...and what a 'Con it was!
Finally back from five great, exciting, exhausting days at San Diego Comicon 2006. What a great experience! Hard Eight was a success and the groups was thrilled!
Alex, Emmanuel, Brian, The Gute, Matt, Erich, Bill, Greg, Amber and I all had a blast! Even our colorist galore, Eren Blanquet came by on Saturday. Ten people in one 10 x 10 ft booth was not easy, but we managed to pull it off. Thank you to everyone who came by the booth, you guys and gals are awesome!
We had a whole set of swag to show for Hard Eight: Poker Chips, Playing Cards, Stickers, Alex's Hard Eight Shadow Box and Amber's Hard Eight Maquette! The guys even put together a great video showcasing the comic in moving picture format, with Chris Tallman and Dave Hartman providing some of the voicework bringing our stories to life on the small screen!
Check out all the PHOTOS HERE...
Some other highlights I didn't get to take pix of:
-Dropping by to see John Nevarez, Patrick Morgan and Jose Lopez. Three talented and super nice fellows!
-Got to meet Dave Colman and see his amazing animal drawings.
-Being the booth right behind The Rhythm Section and poking our heads through the cloth barrier
-Checking out Dave Hartman's Sideshow Monkey booth and meeting his lovely wife and daughter.
-Meeting Javier Guzman, one cool guy!
One rule of thumb for those who plan to have a booth next year, as tempting as it is to leave your area with all the great stuff for sale, stay at your booth as long as possible. Otherwise you might miss one of your hero's stopping by :(
(Thanks to The Gute and Alex for their photo taking in my absence)
Ok, enough name dropping. Thanks again to everyone we saw this past week for making it a memorable con experience! Cheers!

So Great to meet you my man!!!
I stopped by the booth 2 or 3 times and each time you were MIA..
You're right on with with all your comments! I found it hard to leave my table... I felt like I needed to be there every second!
I didnt get much of a chance to enjoy everything else... Who needs food?
Man, I would have killed for a booth... we had 10 guys, plus significant others, crammed behind 1 table! Well, you saw us...
Can I get Hard 8 over the web? I failed to pick it up, ... How were sales? It was packed everytime I went by.
Anyway, keep up the work, and tell Amber I said hey...
Jav
Can't wait for next year, my man.
10 people...each with one glorious square foot of booth space. :P
Congratulations on Hard 8! It looks terriffic.
(So that's what Matt Groening looks like...he could have passed by my lil booth and I would have never noticed. Shame on me.)
Your button worked Garrett! I was able to spot it from behind our table. Great to meetchya man!
The con was a total blast and I can't wait to do it all again next year! ...once I rest completely :)
I stopped by your booth with Jav in one of our planned escapes from behind our own table. You're right man - as much as I want take a stroll and spend money I think next year I'll sleep under the table. I felt bad for leaving but I want to buy books too!
Take care and keep the ink deadly!

Damn! Missed you at the con. I was looking forward to pick'in up the book. I think it was tooooooo busy on Saturday and I didn't feel like fighting through the crowds to see what was on the tables. Looks like you had a good show though.
Why should that ring a distant bell?
