SPX 2012

Finally:

comics I traded for

and...

comics I bought

The room size has increased by about 1/3, so with more walking space between tables the room was not as hot as last year, and people were able to stop and chat longer with artists at their table. There were quite a few "upgrades" made by the new SPX staff: more signage, more cash registers as well as Square to do their credit card transaction; dedicated ATM in the room; dedicated SPX-merchandise table... The artists in the room were already familiar with Square and are using it at nearly every table.

They ran out of exhibit badges on Saturday because there were more extra badges requested/bought by the original signup exhibitor. They ran out of programs (the map and panel listing) by 1pm on Sunday. I did not stay for the Saturday night party but I heard there were more people attending.

So I'm thinking, it was a decent business day for all. Unfortunately I could not spend more money, for good reasons. ;)

Oh and thanks for a few people who said nice things about my work. Appreciate it!
