I was able to perform yesterday at WonderCon thanks to that little blue pill. No, not that one. I'm talking about Aleve, which worked wonders to keep my new knee from hurting as I strode about the vast, impersonal complex known as the Los Angeles Convention Center. I won't (again) go into why I don't like that place but I don't like the place. On the other hand, I love WonderCons.
Saturday seemed somewhat more crowded than Friday, maybe because it was. Friday didn't sell out but Saturday did. I heard a few people complain about the crowding but a certain amount of that is a "given" when you go to popular events. If you don't want to wait in lines, go to Marco Rubio speeches.
We did a Quick Draw! game to a packed house with Sergio Aragonés, Scott Shaw! and Kyle Baker wielding the Sharpies. You may have heard the audience laughing where you were. Boy, those guys are good.
We did a Cartoon Voices panel with Maurice LaMarche, Candi Milo, Townsend Coleman, Amanda Troop and David Sobolov demonstrating their artistry. You may have heard the audience laughing where you were. Boy, those guys are good.
And then I went home. Conventions are a little different when you can do that instead of returning to your hotel room. I think I like that but I still hope they don't do any more WonderCons here.
