Yes, I have been spending the past few days at the inaugural C2E2 Conference in Chicago.  It has been a great experience.  Coming here has helped me realize how much I have grown as a comic creator over this year (& how much I have to go).  As for buttons, yes Cecil and I did pick up a few- and we would have gotten more if the guy at DC didn’t look at us so suspiciously the second (or was that third) time through the line (we waited in line each time… it isn’t like we cutted).  I’ll post my reflections of the entire con once I get home tomorrow.  in a word – “great!” Pictures of day one are already on Flickr.  I’m sure Cecil will have something to say on his Facebook fan page once we are home too.
