Wow, what a crazy weekend. The
Thought Bubble festival convention was back at Saviles hall and the Royal Armouries in Leeds again, so yesterday me, Kat (go and
Give Yourself a Scone) and
John "Jobby" Haworth all made the trip up from Wakefield on the 110 bus, at the ridiculously early time of 8:45AM. It was supposed to be 8:30, but buses being buses...
It's a great convention full of great people, and unfortunately I forgot to take my camera so I go NO PHOTOs, but we got to meet the delightful
Timothy Winchester (or TIMCHESTER) again, and I bought some prints and things, including a kickass
Link from the new Skyward Sword game by
Abby Ryder.
Also, for the first time ever, the convention was over TWO days this year! Today was a bit weird because I went on my own as Kat had work, and Jobby was over in Sheffield. I'm absolutely full of cold, and I had massive social anxiety so apart from following the aforementioned Mr. Winchester around like a lost puppy for a bit I was on my own not really talking to many people/anyone (with the notable exceptions of
Jon Lock and
Nikki Stu)
Anyways, the main reason I made my way back there in the cold and fog this morning was because they were announcing the winners of the
Northern Sequential Art Competition, which I managed to get an entry in for this year (just!)

I really wasn't expecting anything, the
field of entries was awesome, but I came away with 3rd place in the Over 18s category, winning me a bunch o' stuff and also my comic appearing in the Thought Bubble anthology next year! Excuse me whilst I do a little dance before collapsing.
