Kuddos and congratulations to all the people behind F.A.C.T.S. I think this edition was once again well organized and a lot of fun. The organization was well done and I can't think of any real problems.

Maybe some small things worth mentioning.

1) Maybe it was me, but sometimes the space was a little too cramped. Dealers' tables were sometimes really close too each other and at one specific moment one dealer (I guess he wasn't selling much) was pointing me to the fact that I took away his viewspace by putting a single comic from another dealer on what must have been his space. The stomping and pushing was sometimes really annoying, but I guess that's part of conventions.

2) As a comic fan I'm a little worried about next year. I heard from a some comic dealers that this was there last year. Considering that the quantity of comics has never been that extended, this could be a problem next year.

3) Still hoping for 1 or more comic artists next year...

4) In answer to the previous message. I didn't pay much attention to the DVD's. Why spend 30 EURO on an anime DVD when you can buy the same VHS for 1 EURO. So, I agree, long live DVD's... it makes video's a lot cheaper. :-)

5) I don't really agree with the "only old comics" statement. Considering I've been collecting for more than 15 years, I'm not really looking for the recent stuff. After all, you can find that stuff at your comic shop every day. However, it's becoming very hard to find older comics. For example, I'm still looking for Uncanny X-Men 102 & 103. But I know in advance that I won't find those at F.A.C.T.S. That's a bit of a pitty. Still, you have a point when you say that there were less new comics than usual. actually, I think there were less comics in general.

Well, I think that's about it. I certainly didn't want to make any of this sound negative. On the contrary, the con was great. I just wanted to point out some things for the next editions.

Take care & see you next year.
