I recently conducted an interview with The Xcentrikz. Oddly enough it had very little to do with Dueling Analogs and was mostly about the outer circle. It was a fun change of pace and I feel the interview turned out pretty good as well. If you get a chance, definitely check it out.
As always, ConnectiCon (kə-nĕt’ĭ-kŏn) treated us awesomely. Matt and George made life easy and I think the layout of the program turned out well. During the weekend I was either working at the table or hanging out with various webcomic people. The working part was just that, sitting at the table working. So here are the people I got to talk to and hang out during the other parts (I hope I didn’t leave anyone out)…

Starting Friday July 17th, TheSpeedGamers started a week long marathon. They are planning on playing through most of the Final Fantasy games (currently on Final Fantasy VII). They are doing this crazy marathon to make money for ACT Today an Autism charity. They started out with a goal of $20,000, and have already surpassed it! Currently they have raised $25,582 of their new goal of $50,000. So head on over there and see what’s going on.
Minus the computer problems in getting my badge and the bureaucratic hassle of getting my table in the artist colony, this was hands down my best experience at Otakon ever.
First off, I stayed at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore and that was great. You can go between the hotel and convention center via a walkway, so you never actually have to go to the street level. This makes life easier for people like me who are not comfortable in leaving merchandise behind the table and wheel it back to the hotel room every night. And the staff at the hotel was so wonderful and nice. In fact I had such a great experience at the hotel that I already reserved my room for next year’s Otakon — July 30th - August 1st, 2010.

So I’ve been working on the program ConnectiCon this year. And so of you have asked me about the artist colony and dealer’s room maps. So I decided to post PDF versions of both of them on Dueling Analogs. Enjoy!
