Great recap and thanks for the shout out!
Virginia Shields was a great neighbor at the show. I picked up a couple of her books, and she included one of her puzzles with the books. Here is a pic of one of the completed puzzles:

WHOA! That puzzle is awesome!!!
Scott, you're like a mega-info life saver. GOOD STUFF!
BTW, how was the show for you -- better than 2010? Wait... did you share a table with Mikey last year?
Sales-wise, I did the same as last year on Saturday. I let Mikey take my table on Sunday last year, since I couldn't be there both days. Sunday this year, I did the same in sales as Saturday, so I consider the weekend a success!
AudioShocker Shoutouts!
Wow, that's super solid!
I'll try to make a smaller comic in time for SPACE.
I do think having the unusual book at the show is helpful. SPACE is weird because it is almost like a trade show because almost everyone there is a creator (are there indie comic fans that aren't aspiring creators?).
Porcellino is good, I think you should check out King Cat sometime, even though it might not quite be your thing.
I think a comic with a food crossover is brilliant. I might make a beer crossover for SPACE....
Making a comic specifically to trade or give away is always a great idea.
