I attended the NY Comic-Con with 10,000,000,000 of my closest friends. Highlights included:

  • Waiting for an hour in a line that was five blocks long
  • Staring at Evan Dorkin
  • Shaking Frank Cho's hand and telling him I was the guy from Ctoons.com
  • Attending a panel with Garth Ennis, Jim Lee, and Steve Niles
  • Attending a panel with Steve Ratazzi, Mike Sinterniklaas, Jackson Publick, Doc Hammer, and James Urbaniak
  • Staring at Stan Lee
  • Doing a screen test for a TV host job involving me going to Japan and interviewing anime voice actors and artists
  • Finding Skull #5
  • Walking around and seeing a bunch of artists and writers in person, some fossilized (like Mort Walker and Gene Colan) and some not (Jhonen Vasquez, Michael Avon Oeming, JMS, and many more)

And now, pictures!! )

P.S. I think my coverage of the con kicks WIRED's coverage's ass.

I met a neighbor tonight! She lives just down my block and she's a freelance writer for the New York Times travel section.

How did I meet her?

I found her wallet on the sidewalk near the pizza place up the street. It still had cash, cards, ID and everything in it, so I figured she must have just immediately lost it. I picked it up, saw her address on the ID, and walked right down to her apartment - nobody home. But when I came back to leave a note, I tried her bell one more time, and this time she popped her head out the window and shouted "Do you have my wallet??".

She was pretty ecstatic; and I can't blame her, I know what it's like to lose everything like that. She wanted to reward me with a twenty, but I refused of course. So I got a hug instead and made a nice neighbor friend and made the world a slightly better place. Good enough for me!
