I was a volunteer at the 2005 event and spent a lot of time answering visitors' questions and many of them remarked that they hadn't really read comics since they were a kid themselves but were walking by and thought they'd check it out. Many of them left with new books in their hands. It was a great event. I wish that I was going this year. I'm missing Chip Zdarsky moderating an Evan Dorkin/Sarah Dyer panel! Damnit!

A good number of kids were there and did listen to Jeff Smith presentation about Bone and Comics in general.

Oh well, Baltimore and SPX are soon enough. I wanted to go to this, but business took me out of town last week and now I can’t get away.

I'm curious about their kids programming... It seems that the comics industry has been trying to distant itself from the "comics are for kids" stigma. Are they gonna have face painting?!

Considering the past weekend's WizardWorld was a dud (each year, the place looks more and more like a crappy flea market), I think I'm going to have to start attending conventions where there are people I want to see instead of those that just happen to be close by.
