So far we haven't heard many stories about what went on at the booth itself at Sandy Eggo! I've heard tell of FJM and other creators stopping by--tell us more! How much interest from the Con-goers? Other stories assorted and sordid...

We wanna hear it all!

Well Gary, myself, and a coupla others met the fine folks coloring Perez Legion o' 3 Worlds. We gave 'em a buncha Legionworld swag and I think they got named CMYK Kid and Colorist Girl. They were asking about the colors of a certain LSV fashion accessory...

Oh and CJ fondled my cookies. In his defense, they were soft-baked and delicious.

Giving people who came by the table Legion names was a lot of fun. My favorite was the guy who wasn't sure what his name would be. At that point, we usually asked about their work and hobbies. He told me he enjoyed woodworking. He walked away as Lathe Lad!

Welcome to a virtual tour of MZ19, the Legion World table at SDCC 2008!

Here's the banner we had to display (this was actually an intermediate version, but it was still the one they made for me) -

 -


Here's the 1st banner that I tried to have created (thinking it would be a cool display to have) -

 -


Here's what I came up with after the guy refused to make the full image directly above, but still had issues with the others (This is the one I told them I really wanted and to please make this one, for whatever reason they used the first one shown...there are actually a few other variations before this one as well, but why bore everyone with every minor detail) -

Gary, I still love the idea of the first banner. Need to make that into a t-shirt!

The table was located on the mezzanine, near the rear stairs/escalators, so there was quite a bit of traffic going by. The two tables to the left (while facing the LW table) were Star Wars fan tables (I think one of them was also some kind of Star Wars "Legion" group). The table immediately to our right was unoccupied, so we kind of commandeered it for various things. The one to the right of that was for some group that didn't show up until Saturday, and didn't attract much interest. The one to the right of that was some kind of medieval re-creationist group, I think -- they were dressed in elaborate costumes, and one of them sat in a wooden chair/throne. Two of them made out all the time.

By the way, in that Alex Ross banner, the design on Shrinking Violet's costume really doesn't look like an "S" and a "V"... I can see the "V," but not the "S" so much.

[Edited out facetious comment that was taken for serious...]

You know Caroline does for scrapping. [Smile]

And Cali really is Caliente! Her pics are the only ones I'm having to fix red eye on. Every one I got of her, her eyes are a glowing, fiery red. Little red hot demon in disguise is she. [Wink]

Just Imagine what the Con would have been like if DC had been as well prepared with LSH related swag as we were...

The mind boggles...
