Just one word: WOW.

TCAF was amazing!!  The show was super busy and overwhelming, but it was very good at the same time.  I sold more books at once than I have at any other shows, a ton of people came by the table to say hi, and I bumped into many friends and former Sheridan classmates I hadn’t seen in years!  It was so great!!

Because the show was pretty busy –but also because I was stubborn– I didn’t leave my table to explore as much as I should have.  However, whatever bits I did see were so good!  The amount of talent in that building was incredible!  Got to chat with Ramón Pérez (super-nice guy, by the way), Danielle Corsetto and Angela Melick (also very nice people!).  Also got to meet Isabelle Melançon, who was sitting across from our table and is a super sweetie :)

So really, HUGE special thanks to the bestest table buddy and hostess Katie Shanahan, and to Jeremy Sorese who was seated on the other half of the table; you guys rock!  And of course, thank you SO much to everyone who came by the table: Suzanne and her hubby, Karly and Ken, Megan and Shay, Pablo and Ma. Alejandra (nice to finally meet you!!), Peter Trinh, German Shible, Lezley Davidson,  Bren Parsram, John Lei, all my ex-Sheridan buddies, Nathan Hicks and all the people who didn’t know who I was but gave my little comic a chance :D   It really means a lot to me!

Also a big huge thanks to The Beguiling folks and all TCAF volunteers and staff for all their hard work at making this show as great as it was.

(If I’m forgetting anyone else, I’m very sorry but still very thankful you came by!)

Oh, and much to my surprise and giddiness Chris Watkins showed up out of nowhere!!!  I was sooooo thrilled about that!  Here’s the proof:

Nicest guy ever!!

So yeah, all in all an amazing show, and I’d love to come again next year!  If I do, I have to make it a point to get up more and also to buy more comic goodness if I can! :D

P.S.: while I was at Katie’s “bed and breakfast” I also got to hang out with Angi Mauri and Harry Wolf, who were also crashing there :)   It was very nice meeting you both too!

    I’m glad you had fun! Hope to see you in the States sometime :D

    There really was talent oozing off the show floor, wasn’t there? I was really impressed by who and what I saw there. And such a big webcomics contingent! Of course, the big fun was surprising you, Adriana :D
    (Btw, Remy: I’m still kicking the dust off my convention wings, but would love to see you at a show sometime, too :) )

      If you start doing shows, you should really consider trying out TCAF! It’s an amazing venue, and very book oriented too! I think you’d do very well there :)

      It was sooo cool to see you :D
