The convention itself was a very different one than from the usual comic or anime convention or even art show, this convention catered to all the fan based fiction written about various shows. Lots of fan fic about Torchwood, Dr. Who, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and so on. This is something I was aware of was very common on the internet, however seeing a convention of it was pretty interesting. Not only was it very fan fic oriented, but the majority of the convention goers were female, Nigel was maybe one of 5 male artists/dealers, and I saw maybe 10 to 15 men at the convention itself. Apparently men just don't have as much imagination as women do when it comes to writing fan fic.
Lucy came with us to the show, this was a perfect first convention for her to attend. All animals were welcome, she got to meet many dogs and a few cats and well as two parrots. She did very well throughout most of the show. She was a bit scared at first of all the people who came to pet her, but after the first day she felt confident enough to just relax behind the booth and wait until the day was over.
She will be going with us to the Wizard World Philly Con, we'll see how that goes.
Here's Lucy under the table:

And being Nigel
Right now we're up in the mountains getting some more prints done, and tomorrow we'll be heading out to Philly. Being away from everything is very nice, and there is a huge amount of land for Lucy to run through.
Nigel sprained his shoulder yesterday. It might actually be dislocated. He's been asking me to pull and prod on it and while I did it at first, I've now told him that I would not help anymore, I'm too afraid that I'll end up hurting him a lot more.
Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon since he needs to be painting and doing a whole lot of work in the next few weeks.
Alright, more after Wizard World. And pictures coming later as well.
