Phoenix Cactus Comicon

What a treat this convention was! Thanks to Candace for coveringmy shift so I could attend. I met some cool people Noel Neill (the original Lois Lane), Jon Lewis and Derek Benz (creators of the Grey Griffins Series - thanks for the sketches guys; can't wait for the card game), James Owen (author of Here There Be Dragons) Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), PJ Haarsma (author of The Softwire), Mike Bullock (author/artist Lions, Tigers and Bears) and many, many more.

The turnout was huge. It seems like attendance doubles almost every year. The convention center was bursting at the seams. As much as I would dislike driving further to attend, I think a new venue location might be on the horizon.

I also attended a couple of good writing/creativity panel and a fun voice actors panel. The voice panels are fun because the real faces never look like you thought they would.

Good job again guys and gals for putting on a great convention.
