At 3am, the Komikon group will head to Megatrade Hall 1 for setup. See y’all at 10am.
—– Update: 10-20-09—–
Highlights:
- Best Cartoonist Hazel Manzano was the first to buy the Beerkada graphic novel. Thanks!
- We had wifi until noon. Oh, well.
- We were temporarily spooked when a GIANT PLASTIC HEAD was found by the marshalls. No one could recognize it, it didn’t have a body, and no one was coming forward to claim it.
The mystery was solved by closing time, but the whole thing reminded me of Stephen King.
- Comics Aid awardee Elbert Or wanted to leave early, but when he saw Hazel’s crystal lamination plaque (created by Alex Manabat’s group), he stayed up to 5pm to collect his own.
- Pol Medina, Jr. was able to make it and accept his award for best comic strip compilation.
- Thank the Maker that no one lost a laptop this time around, but a komiks group lost their earnings. Sad…
- Overheard during the convention: “That is the GAYEST shirt I’ve ever seen…”
Thanks to Dee, Kenmikaze, Mary, Ana, Targrod, Ilenz, Psychocow, Vernon, Kristine, Peachy, Mark Poa, Tey, Deacon Frost, Aimee, Addy, Camille, Elay, Corie, and Roachy for attending the event (as well as buying the graphic novel). Special thanks to Kevin for his whole day volunteering which made for a pleasant experience for the rest of the Beerkadets (enjoy the book and shirt!).
And thanks to Syeri, Lei, Jon, Patrick and Ariel for providing a event for the komiks industry during the past 5 years.
SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR!
i’ll be there
what’s pinoy komiks rebyu?
and Majarlika is expensive. =(
And I missed Dee and Deacon Frost.
Congratulations sa inyo guys, galing ng mga organizers.
(kahit na parang ang tab… ni chompy.)
sorry guys, was late… been working
Yah shame bout our earnings. Zombies was doing so well, too @_@ But on the brighter side, it was a great komikon XD
had fun… really had fun. it was great seeing L again not to mention Memer and his wife
I was so well-behaved. I didn’t shout nor scream at L this time around. Naubos yung boses ko sa kakasigaw kay Manix (Five hundred? FIVE HUNDRED?!?)
i know! I was surprised it was that expensive. but then again it was colored and maganda ang paper.
In fairness, it was quite exquisite.
Sadly, that Sunday was a week after our payday. I could have hit Trese and 12 as well
Ginoong Lyndon,
Pasend naman po nung picture natin nung komikon (ako po yung chabilitang babaeng galing Malaysia ahahaha). May facebook po ba kayo? Paadd naman! =)
only got the cat’s trail book and comic plus of course my main objective go beerkada go. di ko nakita yung costly na comic ni manix sayang
one point of comment regarding the gobeerkada book though glenn really shouldn’t try to look angry-serious nagmumukha syang nagaamok e it’s like he’s going on a berserker killing spree
It’s the constipated look that all superheroes express.
Roselle: I posted the additional pic you asked for.
