Despite a nightmare journey (three and a half hours each way, horrible weather, completely inappropriate clothes - and cheers, whoever threw up in the sink of the Oxford Tube bus) I really enjoyed it. I was a bit nervous about going on my own, but it forces me to talk to people, which is a good thing (Whether the other attendees thought it was a good thing to be accosted by me is another matter)
The highlight, for me, was the DFC panel (http://www.thedfc.co.uk) which is a UK weekly comics for kids, available on subscription only.
I also sold all the copies of my comic "Journey"which I brought with me. Surely, everyone in the small press scene has read it by now? It paid for sushi at the train station. I was very grateful.

The DFC's really good. Most of the strips are great, particularly The Spider Moon. Not so much the crab lane crew.
How did it come about then? I saw it on the online version of the Guardian.
I went to my first EasterCon on my own last year and loved it! Loads of streams of programme items, and really great people. I dragged a mate to this years, and have talked another into going next years.
Yes, I love Kate Brown's stuff, especially the coloring she's used.
I don't know how the DFC came about- either it wasn't mentioned at the panel or I didn't pay attention for that bit! It reminds me of a UK version of Flight- but a completely different product.
