This was drawn during the 2006 Gathering of the Gargoyles in L.A. That one was the 7th one I had attended. Of these 7, I had been on staff once (2004), and a volunteer at 5 of them. Took a break for the 2005 Gathering in Vegas. So by this time, I was known as one of the ones who was willing to jump in and help where needed. More than a few of us joked how I would be the "con bitch" running around helping taking of various small things to help out the staff.

The thing that I enjoy about this picture is the joy, and happiness on Eden's face (a good friend), and my character just having this frustrated look of "Really?"

I do want to note something important here; I took said comment as it was meant the first time I heard it in 2004, and again in 2006 (and still to this day): A good humored joke that I ran with. We still share a good laugh over it as well. There was never any sort of malice behind it at all. It was not mean then, and still is not to this day. And I still considered the person who drew this a friend to this day.

As to the 4 in the title, I have 3 others that more or less predate this one, but I wanted to get this one up first.
