THE UK WEB AND MINICOMIX THING 2005

While I'd been to a few mainstream conventions before, this was the first convention
I'd encountered where small press ran rampant. First time i ever tried to sell anything
before too. So learning experience really. I remember the morning was cold and
throughout the day i was very hungry. Joey Morgan and Roy were all helping me man the
table this year which was most crowded my table has been so far. We sat next to a very
nice guy who now goes by the webhandle Dogtopus. Also the first time I met people
from the comicgenesis comunity, none of whom I actually knew back then. Nowadays I go
flying off to meet groups of them in other places. So there. ON WITH THE PICTURES.

	Guess which this guy did...		24 minute comic thing was alright. I sorta missed the point.		He didn't really...
	He didn't really...		Ed Traquino everybody! (And they didn't really)		He did.
