Philadelphia Convention report:

Wizard World Philly was a good convention. I had a really good time seeing my Archaia pals again. Mark set us up with a full booth for Philly. It was a nice set-up, lots of room for everyone and their books.

Mark Smylie caught by surprise! 
Wizards of the Coast were directly across from us:

And DC Comics was only a few booths over. You can see the 'EXIT' signs which indicate the entrance to the convention.

 
Wizard Interview:


I was very excited to see that in the current issue of Wizard Comics Magazine's secret stash column, Mouse Guard is the featured book!!! The current issue is #177 and the hype is great! 

The editor of the secret stash column came by the table on Saturday and did an interview with me for the Wizard Website. I'll post a link on my site when it is up.
Reading Market

Directly across the street from the Convention center was one of the coolest places I have ever been. Mark knows that at conventions, I like to stay at the table, make sure I'm available and take as few breaks as possible, even if it means missing lunch. He insisted that I take a break each day to go to the Reading Market. It was originally part of the Reading Railroad, but now is a haven of food and goods. If you are ever in Philly, go there for lunch. I can't begin to give you all the information their website can: www.readingterminalmarket.org

I tried getting photos that gave a sense of scale and variety that the 
Reading Market has to offer:

 

This was where I had lunch on Saturday: The Dutch Eating Place...good open-faced turkey sandwich

 
Through some friends of Mark, we were able to get access to a rooftop garden to take a look at Philly from above:

 

And some daytime, street level pictures of Philly buildings:

 

 

I had a good time. I need to take more photos when I go to conventions. I met Sean Wang who's book 'Runners' is a fun read for anyone who is a fan of classic Star Wars, I met Joshua Middleton, who put out a #0 issue of his creator owned project 'Sky Between Branches' a few years ago....thankfully he has not abandoned the project and is set to start on it again shortly.

 

So that wraps it up, and what better way than with your friendly neighborhood Spiderman!:
