And wow, you thought we had energy on Saturday night? Consider yourself lucky you left town before my three tall-boy cans of Amp experiment on Sunday. Thankfully, my hypothesis was incorrect and my heart did not explode. It was great meeting you both during and after the convention, so now I can finally put a name to the column.

Phil, yeah, I hadn't noticed that before at the show. Vito, glad to hear you had a good time and plan to return! It's one of my don't-miss conventions every year.

Vito, glad to hear you had a good time and plan to return! It’s one of my don’t-miss conventions every year.

Shelton put on a great show and I'm very glad I went. Hope to hear more from you when my books come out. Johanna,

Several years ago (3-4-5), many dealers sold a ton Manga trades at super reduced prices. I'm sure they picked them up at the time from Diamond for pennies on the dollar. One of my LCS sells trades for 20% to 50% off at conventions, but won't do so at his shop. ????? He will also take boxes of comics to the show and sell them for 10-50 cents each, yet won't make that offer to the local customers. ????? Glad you and KC had a good time at the show. Maybe someday I can make the 10+ hour drive. 2 points about discounted material.

I was fortunate to be there early Friday to find the Essentials and Showcases that I wanted on the cheap.
