12 years ago...

This was the 1998 Mad Model Party in Pasadena.... probably the best show I ever had.  I used to go by the name G-Zero, but this was before I knew how important it was to choose a business name that you can secure the dot-com domain for.  At that time I only had a sub-page on my father-in-law's website, an afterthought which was ink-stamped on the back of my hurriedly designed biz cards.  How the times have changed.

That weekend I only had 2 different figures for offer, but I sold a bunch of them.  It was a real victory to get out there, meet the collectors, and sell my own stuff, especially after the crushing blow of having Streamline/Avatar fold up just after getting married.  This show also would lead to the meeting that landed me a job at Mattel eventually.

Any guesses as to my age here?  I know I look like I was about 13, but I was actually double that.

Another satisfied customer/shill/buddy.
