Some say that going over 14 hours without sleep is akin to having had one shot of booze. At this point I’m over 16 hours and it feels more like I’ve downed a whole pint flask.
Just here for the fun of it.
We got out of the Teamsters meeting early today, which got me to the Shrine for the comic expo just before 1pm. I spent most of the time walking around looking at broken toys, cases and cases of comics, action figures still in the packaging, porn, porn, hentai and porn. What’s amazing at a show like this is the distance between value and what something will sell for. For example, I found some of my favorite comics selling for less than the original price, and other comics for over $50 bucks. Scott saw Walking Dead comics going for over $200, but I’ll get to that later.
And I could not for the life of me find a good place to freaking sit down and just rest for a while with the sketchpad. I almost asked Luther if he’d let me sit down at his porno dvd booth.
Why did I think that I could find a place to sit down to begin with? Oh, duh, because last time I was there, they had a panel with chairs for the audience. This time, with two actresses from The Walking Dead, there were more vendors, more customers, lines for autographs, and no chairs.
So the good news is the event was a success, even for me. I picked up some comics I’ve always wanted to check out for less than what they originally sold for. Thanks to Roger’s friend Luther, I may also have a place to sit down and draw when the next expo comes around.
Nite all!
