so, the convention was awesome!
we sold out of both the annual and the first issue, as well as many of the dark horse trades--people were really getting into The PERHAPANAUTS!!
sold a few shirts, a few portfolios, a few trading card one-sheets...
saw ALL of our friends, many of whom you can see below courtesy of photos taken by scott (weinstein).
i got to SEE the pages for scott's upcoming AFTER SCHOOL AGENT #2 and was blown away! (chris is just amazing!)
brian was there most of the time, manning the booth. bill stopped by to keep us in the loop on all on-floor happenings.
saw pablo and joe and his twin brother, mike, and amy and...man, the list just goes on...
my pals, kc carlson and johanna draper carlson came by to help out at the table and at some point that none of us can really say for sure, johanna took the whole thing away from us and became a selling machine, luring con-goers over to the table with her fetching beauty and super sales pitch!
we saw, and got to say hello to, saturday night live's bill hader and 30 rock's scott adsit--two of my favorite guys from two of my favorite shows!
craig and i were interviewed several times while at the show and i'll be dropping those links over the next couple of days--wouldn't want you to od on us all at once...
johanna and kc came back upstate with me sunday night and hung out with sharon and i for a couple days. i was really eager to get back to work too--and post some blogs--when my landlord decided to rip the phone-tv-internet cable up with his back-hoe yesterday morning and strand me incommunicado for a day and a half.
but i'm back and here are a couple pics--as i said, from scott. thanks, scott!
welcome to the new york comiccon!
craig, todd, and rico--the perhapa-boys!

a sneak peak at after school agent #2!
gino and chris (see gino's pin-up of big, karl, and choopie over at the perhapanauts forum/drawing jam!)
me talking with my hands to wizard on-line reporter, kevin mahadeo (this is just the back of his head, but trust me, he's smiling on the other side...)
here, also, is a link to the interview kevin conducted with me for wizard on-line the week before the show.

As Todd said, Johanna was a selling machine, and it wasn't just the good looks and great personality, because Todd and Craig have that, no my friends, it was something else, she is THE CLOSER.
Thanks again for letting me hang with you guys at the booth - and big thanks to Johanna for letting me hang in all those sketch lines on Saturday.
See you at ECCC.
Man-glad to hear it was such a hit!!! I really wanted to make it to the con but got caught up doing some yard work, and have been swamped with work so it never happened. Very happy to hear you sold so much product-sounds like the 'Haps machine is rolling full force with a bright future ahead of it!! I'm definately doing Baltimore again though!!
I'm gonna say it again: Check out our Hot Shot of the Week interview from ComicRelated, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V92Z35W1AuA&feature=PlayList&p=39E94F843B9A8FB1&index=0&playnext=1
Sounds like a great trip! I wish I was a cool-cat hipster comic guy like you and Craig!
Yup, the NYCC was a great time. Congrats on selling so many books. That's the kind of passion for this book that will only grow.
I can't wait for Heroes.
sorry, russ!
i was saving the BIG interview with you for part 2--
hope that's okay...!
I had a great time at NYCC, it was great to see you guys again. glad to hear that you sold so much. I know I'm lovin the new issue.
I'll definitely be stopping be here more often.
sounds like it was so excellent. glad that you all enjoyed - and sold, sold, sold. :-)
For some reason I missed this post. Must be slipping in my old age. Glad the show was a hit for the 'Haps. Keep it going, lads.
Todd, thanks again for the photo. I've placed it in your Wikipedia article. I've also placed it along with all the other pics I took at the convention on Wikimedia Commons, at: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Comic_book_creators. I'm sorry that I missed Craig, but if he has a good photo of himself that he wouldn't mind placing into the public domain, I can add it to his article as well. :-)
