Friday was a very exciting day for us. Around mid-morning a fellow strode up to our booth and asked for details on my various monkey projects. He introduced himself as a Director of Development for Jerry Bruckheimer Films and told me he was very impressed by the characters and the universe I had created for The Society of Sinister Simians. He went on to say that he thought it was one of the most interesting directions for development that he had found within the Small Press area. Of course I gave him a copy of the book and business cards for him to take back to work for future reference and meetings. Whether or not it goes any further than this point, it was wonderful validation of my efforts.
Actor Wil Wheaton from the Star Trek series became our first celebrity sighting for the event. He strolled down our aisle and after looking through our items and complimenting my Wrestle Pets project, purchased a Sinister Simian sticker and gave me a friendly hand shake before moving on.
