I had the utter delight of watching 20 Million Miles To Earth with Ray Harryhausen in the audience, telling us how he made the effects in the film. I attended two Stargate panels, and wandered the exhibit hall full of books, comics, films, and artists. I caught up with fellow writers Christopher Golden, Jeff Mariotte and Simon Wood, and made many new friends.

One of my fave comic book writers and artists, Chris Wisnia, was in attendance. He does these brilliant giant monster comics. I picked up the newest Doris Danger: Where Giant Monsters Creep and Stomp digest, and thoroughly recommend it to everyone! Chris's work is hilarious, vibrant, and a must-have for anyone who enjoys giant monsters.

I also got to see Ernie Hudson again, who is utterly engaging, interesting and friendly -- a real pleasure to talk to.
