I'll share my experiences thou.

First I'll say my negatives before the good stuff. 

It was way too crowded for my taste. I knew it would be thou. 

I needed have been upset by not being able to show work because of the problem with my drawing hand. There was no opportunity to showcase my art anyway.

I had to pay 70 dollars to get Stan Lee's signature. It really was more than I wanted to pay but I had to weight my options. Looking at Stan he look so frail. I know this would be my last chance to meet him. So I paid the money. I was inline with only 5 people in front of me when he stopped signing. So I had to stay 2 and a half hours longer than I planned. When the time eventually did come. My son could come with me he had to stay in another room because I didn't pay for him. Even thou he wasn't even planning on getting anything signed. Stan didn't really speak to anyone. He barely looked up.  I felt bad for him. I was disappointed by the experience I wanted to meet him and thank him for all he has meant to me. That didn't happen. But given his age and how week he looked. I wasn't angry just disappointed.

My feet and back are killing me.

Now for the good stuff ..... I MET STAN LEE !!!!! I at least got to meet him.

I saw Neal Adams,Tom Raney, Ron Garney.I did some networking with Brian Pulido.  I ran into Marc Silvestri in the crowd we had a few nice words. I saw Joe Quesda in the crowd. I wasn't interested in exchanging pleasantries. 

I saw John Barrowman. So I I saw from the wrestling world  Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Brutus Beefcake, Tito Santana and Greg the Hammer Valentine. 

I picked up some comics at good deals.

 Amazing Spider-Man 66  for 25 dollars

Werewolf by Night 25 for 7 dollars

Tomb of Dracula 48 and 53 5 dollars a piece

Fantastic Four 66 and 67 5 dollars a piece

I got a hardcover collection volume 1 of the Spider-Man newspaper strips by Lee and Romita which I got Stan to sign. That book I got for 10 dollars.

So in the cosmic scheme of things the good makes up for the bad.

All that being said I can say I've gone too my last convention. It takes too much out of me. They aren't really for me anymore anyway. 

I saw a disturbing sight. A short hairy fat man wearing a Wonder Woman outfit.

I saw some wonderful women dressed as X-Men. My favorite's I saw were a woman dressed as the Rocketeer, A man wearing a Tardis. He stopped unzipped the door and stepped out dressed as the 10th Doctor.
