It's a brand new expo center they built for a famous car auction company. It's a 150,000 sq feet of columnless floor space, and it's bigger than a airplane hangar. There's free parking and you don't have to go through the casino to get to the expo center. I'm not a gambler but it's nice living 20 minutes from 2 of the biggest casinos in the world. They smell like cigarettes and old people tho. |

I have been waiting 25 years to get my X-Men #94 signed by Chris Claremont, ever since Cockrum signed it in 1995 (Wein signed it in between them). Today I paid for my first autograph ever, $10 for one sig, but only because of the long wait. The worst part was when I brought Evan home and returned to the show, as I was walking in they were wheelchairing Joe Giella out. I never got to meet him. I didn't buy any comics. My want list is very small and full of expensive books. I did buy a Simpsons TPB for Evan that was signed by the artist. |

A day like that must be enough for even the fittest of people. |
