mysterio

@golfplyr, since Lee was just added I'm guessing they'll get that information up some time this week. I would also bet he won't be in artist alley since he is just there for the one day, they will set up something to keep his crowd from blocking the entire show floor.

June 7-9 next year, mark your calendars!

Thanks to all for sharing pics and stories.  Looks like a lot of fun and money spent  

How was the temperature inside?  Heard it was hot in Dallas but inside was too?  

That was the hottest con I’ve been at in a while, maybe ever. Sweated all weekend, which is unusual for just being behind a table. So hot. 

Just got my answer, June 7-9 so roughly the same weekend in '24.

Anyone catch dates for 2024? @Kevin Boyd?

We love the spot too. Looks like the show will be in the same hall of the convention center again next year, so we will have the spot again.  We re-upped for next year.  This year was great. We were able to sell a ton of books and made some trades on bringing some new books in.  We bought some of the exclusives for the shop, and even got to eat at Portillo's in The Colony.  Overall a great weekend.  I just did the math on steps to miles, and I walked 21 miles this weekend.  My feet and legs are tired, but it was worth it with a great weekend.  

Meanwhile I stood in a 8x15 rectangle all weekend, also tired, also enjoyed the weekend!

Last time I saw a dog inside a Con…

 

There were multiple dogs inside the con, which I wasn't a big fan of. Made me worry for their safety in those shoulder to shoulder crowds, getting kicked or stepped on.

Just got home after a mostly smooth load out. Great having @The Commissioner in the booth much of the weekend, and seeing @Crops068, @ADAMANTIUM, @MrBedrock among the many people who shopped our booth. Strong sales, and we’re already looking forward to next year!

  Welcome back and great book man!

How's the JIM run going? Think you were down to a small handful the last update.

Thanks! Still down to just the one issue to complete #1-82. My budget has gotten seriously blown out in the last year or so, so I am trying to pay the household back a bit before I start buying again. The one I need isn't particularly difficult, it will just be a matter of finding the copy I like and spending the money.

I know a few people that will be very disappointed by that Christensen news.

I have a Strange Tales #73 as well but lack a scan. 

Three months away!
