All comic shows come with their dramas, some are manufactured and some demonstrate problems. Comikaze was no different. We unloaded on Friday in the boiling heat, rarely do the dealers get the air conditioning turned on while we are unloading, and went to work building the booth. Boxes have to be sorted to get into the right places and boxes have to be unloaded to display books! Racks have to be erected, signs have to be placed, and the booth has to be cleaned and organized before you can leave for the day. I got out around 9:00 PM, waiting for friends, hoping to get dinner company. They worked even later, I did find a nice Chinese buffet in Burbank. We stayed in the valley at a friend’s and fellow dealer’s apartment, sleeping on the couch and floor. One bedroom apartment! On Saturday morning, my help arrived, Erwin Ledford and Stephinie Touch, making the show manageable and frankly a lot more fun! We went to work, helping customers to find comic books, watching the people in costume and generally enjoying the chaos unfold around us! Saturday afternoon was tough as it became apparent that attendees were having a hard time getting in the door. Lines stretched around the Los Angeles Convention Center! We did not get to see the lines, but we heard about them! Inside, people were running the zombie survival course, checking out the artists, and buying lots of comics! Sunday was largely a repeat of Saturday, smaller audience, but again, lots of costumes and lots of people walking around, having fun and buying comics! Right now, you can find tons of photos on my facebook page, www.facebook.com/scotthudlow. We’ll migrate the pictures over to the ComicWise website, eventually.
