 The majority of the art guests were comprised of members from the NCWCCC.  A few who were not already members were members by the end of the con. 

2.       We unveiled the first North Carolina WebComics Coffee Clatch book at the con and sales were brisk. 

3.       Met a girl named Chelsea who reads Clan of the Cats.

4.       Got to talk w/ John, whose last name I always forget, but is most likely COTC’s number one fan.  “Hi John!”

5.       Bought a print of this.

6.       Fell asleep during the Geek Auction. 

7.       Swapped buttons with Jennie Breeden and Arianna. 

8.       Huddled around with a mass of artists in the cold outside a Mexican restaurant that had no idea we were coming.

9.       My friend Mike did some of the best art I’ve ever seen him do, IMHO.

10.   Saw a Steampunk  Justice League.

11.   Saw 

</a></b></a>[info]ursulav dance all day Sunday.  

 

12.   Handed out my first professionally made business cards.  They were made for me by a friend.

13.   Talked with 

</a></b></a>[info]dirkdada about the movies Space Mutiny and Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster.

 

14.   Saw the original art from Thomas Boatwright’s contribution to the Clatch Book.

15.   Had many people come to my table and say, “Heard your comic was good,” though one guy added, “Can’t get into it.”

16.   Saw lots of pretty girls in short skirts.

17.   Found out that no such person as Lydia died in an automobile accident at the Jamestown underpass.

18.   The weather was perfect and the temperature was in or near the 60s in the day time. 

19.   Gave original art away to Kate, John and Otter for reasons too detailed to go into in a list of highlights.

20.   Got to really talk with some of my peers like Otter, Kel and Dan Johnson.

21.   Came back from the con with more money than I took to the con. 

22.   Played a Theremin for about 20 seconds. 

23.   Had to explain to Otter that not all webcomic artists are miserable. 

24.   On the way home Friday night my friend saw a guy passed out at a bus sign.  Called 911. They came. They woke him up.  We left. 

25.   Introduced Chelsea, (the real Chelsea) to the world of webcomics, my peers and thus two worlds collided. 


 

There’s more, but I’ll end it there.

Damn. Now I wish I could have gone even more. But seeing that I was moving over the weekend... well, not much really I could do about it. It sounds like you had a blast though, Jamie. Here's hoping you can manage ConnectiCon in August. ^^
