First time ever this past November. I went on Saturday, and did I mention how cold it was?? Not to mention that I took the bus to not hassle with parking, which was a mess. Long line to begin with but the staff handled it real well. I liked getting the Walking Dead first comic as part of the ticket entry. It was very crowded and many, many, many people were dressed for attention. Thank you ladies for braving the cold weather to get peoples' attention! I liked walking around and seeing what was for sale and the stars who had their own booths (sorry, but those tix were pricey) but the real deal for me was the speakers and the Frank Frazetta "museum" that Robert Rodriguez brought with him. I also watched a couple of short films on the second floor. I got to see Bruce Campbell put on a hilarious performance, and listen to Robert Rodriguez talk about El Rey Network, Frank Frazetta, and Sin City 2, along with Fire and Ice. Just awesome stuff to hear that he will be working on.



The one bad thing about this is that there was a poor selection of food at the convention and very few vendors that just sold pizza or burgers. In this city, I would have expected a lot more variety and vendors. Someone please fix that soon. Hopefully the weather will cooperate this year too.
