[Bamn] Charm City: Reflections on Baltimore Comic Con



As I write this, I'm sitting in the Kubrick-esque trappings of the Mount Vernon Hotel in Baltimore, MD. Day 1 of the Baltimore Comic Con has come to a close, heralded by the hungry hamburger gnashing of my roomates/co-creators (Dave and Jay) as they lazily watch King of Queens.
My virgin attempt at B.C.C. has been a mixed one. The day has been marred by horrid traffic jams caused by an Under Armour marathon (I contemplated revving my car engine at the joggers sprinting by), piss-poor Mapquest directions (I've seen The Wire...It does exist), unchecked hotel expenses ($10 short), and car trouble (Oooooh, I wish I could write this stuff). At this point I expect to pull my hotel bed sheets back and discover lice chewing on the cheap Indian fabric. But, it's about the comics...right?
Right.
Let's pray that Day 2 fairs better. (Day 2 did go better. Baltimore won me over with it's hospitality towards the funnybook community: We made some new friends, saw a free show at Illusions Magic Bar, ate free pizza and beer, went to the Geppi's Entertainment Museum, honked at Ghostbusters heading to their hotel, and reconnected with some old retailer buddies.)
Enjoy the pictures...

Sorry for the piss-poor qaulity of some of the images (I'm a comic writer, not a photographer).
