From the moment we landed to the morning we left--a fantastic experience. What I always love about Shelton and his crew is that if you suggest something, it seems anything is possible. Last year we found out that Shelton's sister's fiance Phil is a professional musician, as is Arthur (Suydam). The idea of a jam wasn't long in coming up. And lo and behold it happened this year at the dead dog party. Great fun to see Phil on the harmonica/vocals and Arthur on guitar and vocals doing everything from Orbison to Elvis. If you missed it, be sure to stay for next year. Maybe we can do it again. At any rate, love these guys. Love the show. One of the best ever. And, I agree with Heidi--sitting and listening to Russ Heath stories was a rare and wonderful treat. That is also something I love about Shelton. He gives us the opportunity to meet groundbreakers in the field such as Heath and Nick Cardy! Where else do we get to do that. Thanks to everyone at Heroes.

Now I feel prepared for the ruckus that will be San Diego. It was nice having you hang around Mark's and my booth, to help watch my stuff Heidi, thanks! This convention was a pure laid back joy.

I remember hearing great things about it when I first attended in '92. Shelton blends a tight, well-run operation with the easy, laid-back feel of Charlotte, and best of all... the fans that go to this show are the best, sporting two qualities all pros love: they read the comics and they're polite. It's nice to see Shelton and Co. get some of the big credit they've been earning for years. Heroes Con has been a pro favorite for years.

I'm seriously tempted to go here instead of San Diego next year. It sounds like a real cool bunch of guys. Wow, Heidi. you update like a maniac. Each time I go here there's something new! I'll make sure to visit more often then. Thanks for this post! I’m seriously tempted to go here instead of San Diego next year. It sounds like a real cool bunch of guys.

It's nice for a con that is so much fun, and only an hour away from my house, is praised so much. Here's hoping that this year's experience will bring more folks in fir 2007.
