Busy Busy Busy

Man it was busy. All the tables were pretty much always full, and we had long lists of people waiting for a seat and a chance to paint. The interest in this hobby is encouraging. Those who say that CCGs or Collectible Figure Games are killing miniatures off are misguided.

Also, thanks to all the volunteers. Without their help, none of this would have been possible!

It was great fun, I got a chance to meet many fine folks from the mini-painter list!
