Sunday roundup:
- Irish breakfast at The Field, watching hurling on Setanta (in fact, the hurling quarterfinals, which true stalwarts watched from 6am onward in the pub)
- Visited with Ryan Claytor of Elephant Eater Comics and learned that Ryan will be teaching multiple courses on making comics in the mid-Michigan area
- Tried and failed to get into the spotlight on Bill Willingham (in retrospect, his Eisner win made that a foregone failure)
- Picked up two trades worth of Tiny Titans from new Eisner winners Art Baltazar and Franco; showed them littlestar's old (circa early 2000s) Patrick the Wolf Boy sketch
- Stopped by to talk with Dave Kellet to show him littlestar's 2001-era Arthur sketch; ended up picking up the original art for a Sheldon strip
- Spent a while (perhaps two hours?) in the San Diego Children's Animation festival room; saw mostly good stuff that I'll comment about at length later
- Stopped by Chris Sanders and picked up his sketchbooks and Kiskaloo
- Did some other wandering to round out littlestar's "need to see" list
- Picked up the Girl Genius Omnibus (collects volumes 1-3)
- Signed up for next year (we will refund if we get to continue our pro status)
