Sounds like fun, I wish events like this happened close to where I live.

Is it considered tacky for an artist like yourself to ask for somebodies autograph? If not, you should ask for Chris Claremonts autograph. Maybe get him to make it out to e-Bay.

Thanks for the translation for us non-french speaking readers.

Hound:
Where do you live actually ?

About famous artists: I usually wait for a profesionnal opportunity to talk to famous artist, otherwise if your considered a fan, you'll never get to talk to them as real human being...

In New Mexico USA, about 300 miles from Albuquerque which along with Santa Fe are the only places in the state events like this visit.

Sorry it took me a while to respond, I've been having internet problems for a while and this was the first time I could get a functional connection in about 1 1/2 weeks.

Hound: I was wondering if you were from the Montreal area, like Sirkowski and I.
So your totally lost when I post in french ?

I have no understanding of French at all. Usually if one of your posts is in french only I'll go to google translate to have it translated so I can read it.
