Catching up on things...

2009 Kids ComicCon - Dave & Raina
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 [info]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 [info]goraina & [info]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!

Free Comic Book Day,FCHS Signing
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 [info]tier_luren& [info]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.
