@Frank Pentangella at the wedding.

Thursday- I drive to the Mid Atlantic Nostalgia Convention just north of Baltimore. I hear it was a neat show and every year there is a conflict (this year too.) I drove down to see for myself. And Heck Yeah it is neat. The nice people down there fill 2 floors of the hotel with all sorts of movie and TV stuff, books and comics (of course I bought comics.) I highly recommend this show if you’re in the neighborhood. The show is Thursday to Saturday, (so the Celebrities can fly home on Sunday.) I didn’t get close to the guests (I don’t really do that- I am there on business and I don’t think it is fair for someone who drove for miles and miles to be behind me in line. Besides @Loni Anderson didn’t make it. That is who everyone asked me about.)

Just down the street is the Diamond Comic Distributors home office. I stopped in to say ”Hi” to drop off some snack to the good people in Customer Sevice and Account Receivables. They all say “Hi” too. Hope they liked the snacks. The office was very nice, very corporate and not what I expected.

On the way back I saw Paul at Captain Blue Hen Comics in Newark. He sold me Fanzines. Very neat, tough to find stuff.

Friday the guys at Keystone Comic Con let me visit the show with a free pass. A big, big show and I saw some people I know and bought even more stuff. (This was the first time I had to go through a metal detector to go to the show. Maybe this is what the future looks like at these things.) The funny thing is, I know everyone with a comic store locally, and I did see 3 guys with stores locally- no one who had a store in Philly was set up. I hope everyone made a ton of cash and had a good show.

Paul sold me a program to the Phil Seulding program to the 1978 Philadelphia show on Thursday. I was there in ’78.

I have been going to these local shows for over 40 years.

Bill's Travel Log 9/10/18
Just back from Chad Spano’s exciting Bordentown show. I did OK. I have been going up to that neck of the woods for a while now. Once upon a time they had a show at the Armory and Ron Jordan had his show there a million years ago. I saw some familiar faces and met some new people. One guy told me he was from Central Jersey and I informed him there is no such place. It is like Central Carolina or Central Dakota.

In the old days if you watching WAFB Channel 9 out of New York, you were in North Jersey. I have been to Crosswicks, New Jersey. You know what I am talking about.

I saw Fred Mahn at the show. He is and old toy dealer/ flea market guy. He told me how he repairs broken Comic Box lids with white Duct Tape. (which is something I never would have thought of). He told me it looks good and works great.

I told him when we posted this week, I would include”Helpful Tips from Fred.”

This week I am off to the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Con with guest Rick Goldschmidt show in Hunt Valley and on Friday I will be at the new Keystone Comic Con show in Philadelphia.

Lot of stuff to see.

Stay tuned for the October announcement and when we are coming back to Cherry Hill.

I’m almost recovered from CHUD.
Almost. ... ExpandSee Less
