Nice
Guy artist and co-creator Tim Watts sits behind
the Nice Guy table at Sac-Con
Here's
one of the side seller rooms at the Scottish Rite Center. Geeky
goods for sale.
And
here's the floor at Sac-Con, with Sacramento shoppers looking through
the goodies for sale.
If
you look past all the tables of crap for sale, you'll see the stage
area in the background where card tournaments are going on. For
those of you that aren't geeks? We're not talking about poker.
All
this fun for only five dollars?! Wotta deal! You can see the list
of guests here, which we WOULD have been on had we not waited until
the last minute to sign up for this thing. At least our boy Dan
Cooney is representin'.
Had
to take a shot of this photo on the wall of the lobby, which reminds
you that while it's a comic convention, we ARE still in the Scottish
Rite Center...and the Masons are watching!
Is
it just me, or does any organization that has a "sovereign
grand commander" frighten you, too?
Ah,
and here we see a big ad for Resident Evil: Apocalypse, which apparently
is about a guy in shorts and a cap.
Oh,
wait, my bad. That was just some guy walking by and screwing up
my shot. The film is ACTUALLY about a naked woman wrapped in a sheet.
With a gun. Much better.
The
other chamber outside the main hall is where the tables were for
the important guests. You know, unlike us.
Another
shot of people shoppin' away.
Hey,
here's one of our fellow small press comrades. This is Ryan
Claytor, creator and self-publisher of Elephant
Eater Comics (www.elephanteater.com).
We met him at the San Diego Con and bumped into him again here.
Check his stuff out.
And
what Sacramento comic event would be complete without an appearance
of our pal Brian Peets of A-1 Comics?
Did you know they buy comics?
Here's
Tim drawing away at our table...the one where we got sandwiched
between a couple of dealers so everyone kept asking us for prices
on the dealers' stuff because they thought we worked for them? This
is what happens when you get your table at the last minute. Nice
neighbors, though.
Just
got a shot of this table because it's a shop in Chico where Tim
used to go when he was in college. I wasn't just trying to get a
picture of that woman with the laughably overdone fake breasts.
Wait...maybe I was...
And
in closing, a shot of your Fool Court Press business moguls, Tim and
Mike, the creative HURRICANE behind the Nice Guy!
Okay, maybe more like a chance of showers, but mostly sunny...
