For me, one of the best parts of attending a comics convention is the new people you meet. For example, before all the VIP or Gold FanX fans entered, I ran into an artist finding a way to the vendor floor. We entered the building the same time so we struck up a conversation. I made it a point to try and find his booth before my day began.
That's what I did.
I found out that Steve Garcia had worked on several amazing films. I found out it was his first time at our con--I love when we get new talent to our show. After finding his booth we chatted some more. I found out more about him and his work.
Day 2 was a success for me all the way around. Had I more time I could have met more artists with similar stories. I know many people go for the high-profile names, the celebrities, the cosplayers. Me...I'd love to spend the entire time talking to those on Artists Alley.
