Hinton Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I didn't take as many pics as I wanted to since I spent a lot of time just wandering around and trying to take everything in. This was my first real "Con", so it was all a bit overwhelming. However, I did get some pics. These are only a few of them since I haven't included any pics of the miniatures that I took. Mostly, these are just the people I met (or saw). I'll post pics of the minis and other things once I get some things straightened out. Duende & Wren: Wren is an absolutely wonderful person and didn't seem to mind standing around talking to the lot of us. Group Picture: Here are a few of us outside the Claddagh Irish Pub after dinner. The flash on my camera wasn't working properly, so the pic didn't turn out like I wanted. Great, great group of people; I really enjoyed dinner with all of you, especially the lively conversation (what was said at the pub stays at the pub ). (From left to right: Vicki (FF's wife), Casey (EricJ's girlfriend; hope I spelled it right), Frustrated Father, Xenon_Wulf, Duende, Hinton, EricJ, Thryth) Phil Foglio: Super-cool gentleman. I've been reading his stuff for years and it was great to finally meet him in person. He didn't seem to mind me taking a picture at all. Phil and Kaja Foglio: Kaja stood up and let me get a picture of them both without me even asking. Tom Meier and Marike Reimer: Tom is the gentleman to the left and Marike is the dark-haired lady to the right. Very nice people, both of them. I did get a chance to say hi to Tom and tell him how much I liked his work, even though I felt like a bit of a heel for bothering him. Still, he did take a moment to listen to me; very, very cool individual. I didn't get a chance to talk to Marike, though. Tom Meier and Marike Reimer talk shop: This is the reason I didn't get a chance to talk to Marike. She and Tom were discussing some different poses on a mini and I didn't want to interrupt. Uberdark: Finally got to meet this incredibly strange individual. He's a great guy and very friendly. Sorry we didn't get a chance to have lunch with you, Uber; we'll try to get together next year! Wyrd Booth Banner: The banner from the Wyrd booth. Wyrd Booth #1: FF and EricJ working at the Wyrd booth. Wyrd Booth #2: FF being a bit strange - and this was only the first day; you should have seen him by Sunday. Poor, poor man. Thanks for putting up with what probably seemed like my endless visits to the booth, Nathan! I thought I had a picture of supervike, but I can't seem to find it. I know Uber has one, so maybe he'll post it. I had a great time overall, even though there were a few bumps in the road and one catastrophe. I'll definitely be heading back to GenCon next year. As soon as I get something working out for putting up all the photos (and my thoughts on several things), I'll let you all know. Hope the pics come through.

supervike Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I'm not sure how I could be in that picture, since I was the one taking it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty1001 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Jim you look completely different from the photo you usually use. As does John. And Nathan whats living on your chin!? Cool photo's. Ming Hau, that wouldn't be minimaker would it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinton Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Ming Hau, that wouldn't be minimaker would it? Yep; Ming-Hau is minimaker. I did meet him, but didn't get a picture of him. In fact, there were a lot of people that I didn't get pictures of, but hopefully I'll get the chance next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morf Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Ha, thanks for the pics! It is so cool to be at GenCon and meet up with a great guy Nathan and no-less great EricJ (not to forget about WyrdMother and the rest of the crew). I had a blast talking to you guys and seeing the new releases. Zombie Damsels (ehhh...) are wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vytis Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Excellent! Good fun was had, I'm sure. Maybe next year I'll go. If they move it out of August..I hibernate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duende Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Also, an extremely rare sighting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Funny enough, first miniature I painted in almost two years, and also the first Wyrd mini I've ever painted. Had a good time though meeting everyone and having a good laugh or two, particularly as I stole most of Eric (Xenon's) paint in order to actually make the deadline for the speed painting .... (me, mix paint, surely you jest!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty1001 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Zombie Damsels...coooool! I had seen the one in the black get up, but not the others. All these photo's are just making me more and more excited for Paris where I will meet loads of forums goers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblyn13 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I still stand by my comment made from the photos at gencon. The one in Black, looks like Dr. Frank-N-Furter from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
