I know there is a small studio in Chapel Hill that has a couple of artists you'd recognize the name of, but I can only think of Mike Weiringo right now as one of them...

'Ringo used to live all of 5 minutes from me... (true) until he got tired of me always asking for sigs and sketches and finally moved to Chapel Hill (half-true, you figure out which half!)

He (as well as Cully Hamner) still seem to be regulars at Heroes Aren't Hard to Find in Charlotte... it might be worth it to get in touch with Shelton and see if he could get a message to either of them

Hmm... if all the VALIANTS are gonna have already been picked through, then I guess I am out of this. I believe it's about a 4-hour drive for me. One way.

Is anyone from the site attending the show?

If so, would you be willing to help out another board member with a sketch from Cockrum?

Thanks!!!

tomorrow's the day!

if you're going to be in the area please come see us...i'll be working the show and wearing a valiant shirt...either the new york reunion shirt or my old friend shadowman.

either way, i'll be the bald guy discreetly stalking dave cockrum...

Let us know how the show goes.

cinlach@aol.com · Post by **cinlach@aol.com** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 8:57 pm

it was AWESOME!

keep in mind this is a local, small one day show that was only planned 75 days ago and hasn't been put on in 8 years...

we had 319 people attend...the dealers, guests, and attendee's all had a blast.

dave and paty cockrum told us that anytime they decided to put on another local show they'd absolutely love to come and would be offended if they weren't invited.

now i'm going to watch us on tv...we're going to be on the local 10pm fox news.

my feet hurt up past my knees, i'm tired and sore but had the time of my life.

you guys missed a good one...but don't worry, april is right around the corner.

I really wish I could have been there, but thanks to a friend of mine, I got the next best thing!

THANK YOU CINLACH!!!!

for those of you wondering what magnusrf is thanking me so profusely for...

he asked if i could get him a dave cockrum sketch or wolverine and/or colossus.

and he got it...

here's dave working on it...

here's dave and wife paty with the finished piece...

and here's the finished piece safely back at casa cinlach...

we really had a ball...rob and chris took a TON of pictures and are going to put them up on their con website.

if you're in the area for the april show we'd love to have you stop in and say "hi"...
