Yes, another Comic Con post...I posted the other day about the panels I will be attending. Here's a long post of the "must see booths" and things....
Some pictures of Con past:
Andy Runton from 2006. Tristan really wants an Owly Hat this year. The t-shirt we bought him in 2006 was lost in the shuffle somewhere so every year we are reminded of THAT story.
This is the list of the vendors, things and stuff I want to check out:
