Wizard World Chicago Pics
At the Hyatt Friday night. From left to right: Alysha, Lauri, Colin, Doug, Aalgar, J.R., me, Mac, Corey, Nick, and Jeffrey with the bright orange shirt.
Aal, me, Mac, Shannon, trying to duck away is JD, and Jeffery. Did I mention his bright orange shirt?

Jeffery is in love with Aal's silky red hair. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

The excitement at the bar Friday night was just too much for Mac to handle.

Saturday, hanging out with the guys in front of the Ronin table. Shane, Doug, The Grey Ghost (I don't know if I ever learned his real name), Antonio, Mac, and some other weird guy.

Getting ready for the Big Bendis Birthday Surprise. Alysha, Colin, that weird guy again, Shannon, J.R., Diana, Mac, and Angel.

The cake...duh.

Moo hoo ha haaaa!!!!

Bendis after the panel was over, handing out slices of cake the size of small logs.

The Hyatt bar, Saturday night. Some guy I didn't actually get a chance to meet, Rona with her back turned, Phil with the beer, you-know-who, Lauri, and Aal. They're married, by the way.

"Hey, how's it goin'?" I'm pretty sure I wasn't actually hitting on her, much as it might look that way. No, really. You did catch the part where I said she was married?

JustJeffery, ladies and gentleman.

More hijinx at the Hyatt. Jeffery, Tom, GuyIDon'tKnow, and Shane.

Bendis and Mack arrive after spending the evening doing research at the library.
(Translation: "doing research at the library" = "attending a bachelor party for one of the Marvel editors")

Jeffery, Tess, Tom, Mack, Bendis, Shannon, and a very excited Noble.

Mack: "Hey, Brian, pick one. No, the other one."
Bendis: "Noble, will you tell this ass-clown to get his fingers out of my face?"
Or something like that.

David Mack getting a leg up. Tess, Colin, Mack, Bendis, Diana, and a trying-not-to-get-a-boot-up-his-nose Noble.

Um...yeah.
And last, but certainly not least, we have the ever-talented David Mack doing his impression of Sharon Stone from Basic Instinct...
