Man, I don't even have the urge to go to a convention in Florida, why would I go to San Diego? I bet no one in San Diego even reads MY comic!

Just remember, KeenSpot itself has a presence at San Diego Comic Con. I don't know if they'll let Spacers behind there to represent us.

I'm aiming for Otakon myself.

The plan is to be there on Sunday, but I don't promis anything.

I hate living in the middle of no-where Texas... nothing is close to anything here! everywhere I go takes several hours
unless its Ft. Worth or Dallas... but nothing good happens there anyway...

I missed the Stumptown Comix Fest... I highly doubt there was a keen section, though.

Yeah, they're all the same, really.

San FRANSISCO is the place where they had gay marriage.

San DIEGO is with all of the immigrants...

I had a blast- can't wait for next year's con.

Did anyone attend the KeenSpot 2005 conference?

Well, that was fun.

Damn you guys are so lucky. Well, the ones who get to go are.

I've been to an anime con but never to a comic one. There actually WAS one in my area last year, but some stupid idiots decided to put it and the anime con in the exact same weekend, even though they are the only cons around catering to that audience. Oh well, at least I'll have a chance to go in 2006.

But still... Man, I want to go to San Diego!

Oo, I went to Comic Con. Along with printing up and passing out about a hundred business cards for my comic, I also embarassed myself several times. Woohoo.

I spoke to the guy at the Keenspot booth briefly, but I still have no idea who he is.

Also, I attended a panel with a bunch of webcomickers talking about how to get new readers and got almost nothing out of it. Panels are kind of that way.

It was really quite fun in the end though. I'll do it differently next year.

I'm in Texas. To my knowledge Comicon has already been through our major cities.....Does anyone have the dates?

Yeah, I went to that "Increase Readership Panel" as well. They really didn't have much advise other than "have a good comic". The only problem is that they've been around longer, and at the time they started, having a good comic was enough to get heard. The other problem was that there was no real presentation by any of the authors because they turned it to Q & A almost immediately.

What I found hilarious is that they asked us to raise our hands and put them back down based on readership, but when I asked them how to MEASURE said readership, they didn't have any answer for it.

I also went to the ModernTales, KeenSpot, and Scott McCloud panels.

I remember that question, actually! Hoo.

I wanted to go to the Keenspot panel, but the friends I went with had priorities that mostly didn't include any actual comics. Then again, the Stargate SG-1/Atlantis panel -was- pretty humorous, so I won't mourn my lost time.

Anyone go to Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Animation Show?

It was pretty cool.
