The new venue was nice, and it was good to have the events in the same place at the exhibitors, although I do miss the area around Honest Ed's. I want to mention, too, that TCAF 2005 is actually the show I've have the fondest memories from, despite (or maybe even because of) the tent flood on Sunday. That was a great show–thank you.

Walking the aisles I was stunned at the high level of quality to the work , not to mention the great, considerate people on both sides of the table.. All the volunteers were amazing and the venue was a vast improvement over 2005. Great job, everyone. -chip! I may be impartial here, but TCAF 2007 was the best show I’ve been to as well.

After things have settled down for you, can you give us a sense on whether or not TCAF has grown enough that you and the other organizers feel this show can be an annual event? Thanks, Stanley Hey Chris,

What you've accompished here is something truly amazing. The most exciting collection of cartoonists and graphic art I've ever seen. Absolutely sublime venue and even perfect weather. BTW, special thanks from me to Nathalie for keeping me on track all weekend and to Peter for enduring my screeds. After all, Darwyn Cooke is Darwyn Cooke 24 hours a day. BTW, I'm probablky talking out of turn here, but it was quite wonderful to see and hear Peter beaming with pride at what he feels you've accomplished. It reminded me of the oldjoke, "there's nothing a Canadian can do that five Americans couldn't do better. You guys can count on my full support for next show, and anything you need between now and then, just ask. All hail the Festival King, Lord Butcher! Dar Chris:

TCAF was in a lovelier venue, had more -- and more interesting -- attendees (both civilians and professionals), and had a better atmosphere than I had hoped for. And I hoped for a lot. Janine Johnston summed the weekend up for both of us by saying that it restored her faith in shows and made her want to make more comics. So again, thank you! Congratulations and thank you!

You guys did an incredible job, and I realized why I love comics again. You can check out my gushing on my LJ, too! I wanted to hunt you down and thank you personally for putting on such a fantastic event, but I woulda missed my train, and you were probably very busy making it all look so effortless. Thanks to you, Peter, and everyone else involved for making me and likely everyone else feel a part of something truly spectacular. It was an amazing two days. I sure hope I can go to the next one!!! :) Chris,

Mon, 20 Aug 2007 18:07:22 +0000 http://comics212.net/2007/08/20/the-morning-after/#comment-9485 Hey! Thanks for a great all round event. This was definitely the best of the bunch and certainly the best location. While it could get crammed at times, having everything under one roof (or out on the lawn in the case of the owl tent) was ideal. Everybody involved deserves a big high five for putting on the best event of its kind in the city. Hey! Thanks for a great all round event.
