This is me and "creature in my head" artist Andrew bell. He’s a fellow NYCer, thought we’ve never meet up before. It was great to meet him also.. |
Here are Tyler & Cori. Tyler does comic and Cori does the cutest little kids books. I would say “as cute” if not a little cuter than kimbly, so that’s Cute! : ) Plus she had a homemade shirt with a monkey thinking about pie. Cant’ go wrong. |

Here is Ryan North, who I had met in Toronto, but we never talked, Ryan does Dinosaur comics, and was “hands down” the funniest part of the weekend. |
Now the MOCCA is over and Kean stand on a rickety table to take down our big cool flight poster. |

As I said Ryan North won “funniest moment of the weekend” Ryan North tried to eat 12 saltine crackers in 1 minute. Ryan stated out strong, he got all 12 in his mouth in the first 30 seconds, but then he couldn’t get it all down by the end. So close, but no banana.. Maybe next time! |

After Ryan’s crackers, we walked back downtown to dinner, on the way Kean stopped to take a picture of our “sign of the devil” street signs. So I took a picture of Kean taking a picture. |
Later we were on the subway, and Kean pretended to be a “normal” subway rider. : ) |

At the dinner there was about 20 of us and bill came out to over $400.oo!! That’s a lot of comic book money! |
During the dinner my end of the table had the most amazing conversation about Muppets. People were singing old Muppet / sesame street song, talking like baby bear, and discussing what was wrong with “Muppets tonight.” This is one of the best Muppet conversations I’ve ever had. Plus it was fun cuz Kathy keep hitting me! ; ) this is the muppet group. |

After all that Kazu and I got on the subway, he was going down town and I was going up town. So this is a pic of kazu from across the platform at 12:05 am Monday morning / late Sunday night. |
The next day we all met up and walked around Brooklyn and soho. We went to “Kid robot” and saw the cool Gorillaz figures.. Only $150.oo.. These are the first vinyl figures I’ve ever REALLY wanted… |

| From there we went to the Apple store in Soho. Ryan was going around the all the computer and brings up his web comic. Then he started reading some live journals! | The power couple of Amy and kazu, did some emailing, cuz their Internet was messed up at home! |
MOCCA was a blast; I loved hanging out with Kean, kazu, the Flight crew, Dumberlla, |
