Sometimes a show is so awesome that a cheesy pun for a title isn't just allowed, it's required.

I had a great SPX this year. Despite showing up for only an hour-and-a-half on Friday and constantly taking breaks to talk to folks on Saturday I managed to sell 29 copies of POSTCARDS. At $20 a pop a primarily small-ticket item show that's a good deal.

People really seemed to dig the book - it didn't take a whole lot of pitching. I just told them the concept, let them flip through it, and waited for them to make their decision. A lot of people purchased it, everyone told me they loved the concept, and most of the people who didn't purchase it there at least picked up a postcard or wrote the name of the book down (one woman even asked me if it's cheaper on Amazon...I had to say "yes").

I also got to meet a bunch of great new people; press, fans, and fellow creators. Very friendly atmosphere, lots of chatting. There's always a great community around SPX; makes me proud that the convention is hosted in my area.

I'll write up a more detailed report later on including some photos...
