I noticed their booth at C2E2 just for a second on Saturday, but I think I was on my way to a panel, and then I forgot to go back to check them out on Sunday.

(btw, are dealers’ rooms not called dealers’ rooms any more? I was there on Saturday with a young woman who had no idea what I meant when I texted her that I was in the dealers room. She called it “the Show Floor,” and so did all the signs. Or is that just a C2E2 thing?)

I've used a few patterns from their "Making History" line, including that one, and they all get a big thumbs up from me.

(I think the for-profit/comics-originating cons are more likely to call it "vendors" or some such, modeled after commercial exhibit conferences -- "show floor" sounds like that to me. "Dealers Room" is still the standard at Ye Olde SF Cons.)

(Ah. That would explain it. Thanks.)

(Something that has not changed: first con -- except for Mediawest -- that I've been to in *years*... and I got con crud. First cold I've had since February 2014.)

Definitely a comics con thing. And at gaming cons it's the exhibit hall.

Good to know. Thanks.
