Wide Awake 666 was a big hit! We even donated a copy that was signed by 6 of the creators. People seemed to enjoy the Scary Funny goodness inside.
It was a standard size room for this sort of show. But it was packed slam out with all sorts of comic booky yumminess.
There was a guy there going around and asking all the artists for drawings of StarMan. So Duane, Justin and J Chris knocked some out for him.
The Wide Awake Press guys probably did more drawings at this show than they had at SPX just a few weeks earlier..
As always JCC had his Fat Packs out on the table. With customized swanky envelopes to make the deal even more sweat.
WAP was set right beside those fine southern gents, Mark and Keith, of Comics Wanted. Mark Roper has been a contributor to many earlier Wide Awake Press publications. He's a fine chap.
Jamie Ouzts, Duane Ballenger, Jamie Walker (peaking from DB shoulder) and Common Bonder Wess "create table buzz" by blocking the WAP table while Justin Gammon mans the booth.
Duane and Jamie are overwhelmed with joy. No really. They were just pretending to not have fun, right? I didn't take this picture so I assume that's what's going on. I do know Jamie did leave for a haircut but that was because his hair was long, not because he was bored. That's my story at least.
Here we have Mr. Ashley Holt putting his touches on a copy of Wide Awake 666. When he was young he had a horrible accedent with a Rubix Cube and an Atari 2600. Ever since then his face has looked that way.
"Ha Ha Ha, it's fun to be grown men who enjoy laughing at each other in privacy of local comic book conventions."
"Daddy, you like lollypops?" "Yes son, can I have that one?"
"Daddy, you like keep on living?"
Final proof that Jamie Walker is not Spider-Man but may be the Bucktooth Rocker.
Gregory Dickens was there for a while, he may have left earlier if we hadn't trapped him behind the wall of comics.
It really was a fun show, and I hope we can get more local contributors to come out to the next one. All the attendies were really nice and represented a nice broad section of comic fans.
Shelton was there with a very nice wall of comics and boxes and boxes of great back issues. At the end of the show he hit up Wide Awake Press for some issues of WA666 for Heroes in Charlotte.
 r After the show, we dropped the disco ball and kicked out the jams. It was a comic book dance party all night long! But not really. But there was a disco ball the entire show. It just wasn't on, an extreme oversight of the planning commity.
