2009 Kids ComicCon - Dave & Raina

Weekend of April 24-26, 2009 - Was Kids Comiccon. We started out the day with upward of 7 kids and ended up with 2 (unless you count tier_luren, then it felt more like 5.)

Aria (Niece, Age 7) had a bad cold but insisted on attending. Of course, she fell asleep during goraina & yaytime's panel, but I'm sure that was the fever and not a judgment on her part.

She did wake up in time to demand Chibi's!

Other Notables:

• randomly getting the Nick Magazine ali_wildgoose wrote Avatar stuffs for ^_^
• Running into Lil Cousin 'Ronnie' @ Surprise!Jim Hanley booth =^__^=

Weekend of May 1-3, 2009 - was Free Comic Book Day. In contrast to Kids ComicCon, I expected no children and 4 turned up, (unless we count tier_luren& syndara then the number jumps to 12).

We turned up early @ Jim Hanely's Universe for the FCHS signing (with Author: Vito & Artist: Ronnie), wherein the game was how many ways can you make a cousin snort/laugh before her adoring public.

Answer: Three.
