July 22-July 26, 2026
Pro tip: If you want a few decent photos before falling into the inevitable pattern of no sleep and endless hoofing across concrete floors, take them before the convention actually begins.
And yes, the first one—with Bill Cox and Steve Kriozere—is a bit of a cheat. It’s from the Sunday before the show, at a “pre-show” convention in Los Angeles.
But the more “resort-style” photo—with Dirk Wood and Tim Lenaghan—was taken at the Marriott, just moments before the madness began next door at the San Diego Convention Center.
If the entire convention had actually been like that, I would have come home much less tired, with a nice tan—and a few more dollars in my checkbook.
As always, much more to come.
L-R: With Pete Koch, Art Adams, Jane Mitchell (& Other-Worldly Friend), Scott Eder, Ash Wood, Eric Powell, Whilce Portacio and Scott Dunbier.
