Artists Alley
Artists reported good sales and foot traffic at this con.Later in my time at the con, I snapped this glimpse of indie author-publisher Russell Nohelty (in green shirt with eyes) at his busy table.
His most recent Kickstarter -- is for an anthology "Cthulhu is Hard to Spell" -- is nearing 1,000 pledges as of 9.27.

Early in the day, I visited with artist Jeff Victor who had prints from his recent book "Pop Culture Evolutions" -- successfully funded via his Kickstarter campaign.

Another early day stop: Indie artist Susan Lee's table. She featured her original water colors as well as prints. http://www.lifeonitsside.com/
Susan is also the creator of the popular "Women from the Dark Side" panel at this and other conventions. http://www.lifeonitsside.com/women-on-the-dark-side

Only a few photos for this post, as I only had time for had a quick walk around at this con. And wouldn't it figure --- with a time crunch I ended up with a take-away tip from this con: Always have a back-up plan for meeting up with your ride!
Cell reception inside the hall was spotty at best, and when I was supposed to connect with Stuart via text, suddenly neither one of us could get reception. Without a back-up plan, I was reduced to wandering around looking for him. Trust me, the exhibit hall is a reasonable size, but it feels huge when you are looking for someone you can't find. From now on, I'll always have a back-up plan to meet at a designated spot in case of high tech communication failure.
