My Weekend at C2E2: Day 1

This past weekend, I had the extreme pleasure of attending the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) as an assistant to the Exhibitor Steve Gadlin. As you all know, Steve was one of my first friends in Chicago and is my producing partner and the genius mastermind behind Blewt! Productions and I Want to Draw a Cat for You. He had a Cat Drawing booth, and I got to go along for the ride. It was 3 (long) days of magic. Here are some highlights:

C2E2 Day 1

This costume was hella impressive. The wings were retractable. At one point, I saw the wings go out and hit a girl in the face. Luckily, they were padded and made of foam. It was awesome.

C2E2 Day 1

I stalked Sarah and Clint from Ink Master (I love me some reality TV, and reality TV about tattoo artists is my jam.) They were buying skateboards, and I interrupted them to get a photo. I got stupidly nervous. They were nice.

Shortly after that, I met Anthony, the winner of the last season of Face Off (another Team Gerdes favorite). He was awesome, and we had a great conversation. I love it when people are nice and real!
