I have not been much of a con attendee, but I did go to this one in 1997, held at SeaTac, Washington, for the the express purpose of meeting special guest Brad Foster. I think this was the one where I also met Steve Gallacci. Also in attendance were the usual gang of familiar local troublemakers: Mark Campos, Bruce Chrislip, Roberta Gregory, Donna Barr, Edd Vick, etc.If my memory is correct, I think Edd roped me into a panel discussion about comic art and publishers, and I championed the Newave philosophy of do-it-yourself. At the time I felt pretty lonely up there.
