First... the NY story...

In Response To: News to come... (MACK!)

We had a fantastic time in NY. The people are great. We visited some fire stations and saw all the childrens drawings and artwork people have done that hang on the fire house walls. We had a great time in the city. Anh, Andy and I had a great time at the con too. It was fantastic to be back at a convention. This was the first we have been to since before all the chaos.

I met several people from these message boards. It was great to see you there. Valter (aka REALTV) stopped by to talk and bought an original piece of DD art. Daut Berisha hung out for a while talking. MetalDave from the Bendis board. Nutopia looked great in her Kabuki shirt. Janine and Christine gave us some Spiderman candy bars. And many more came by. Thanks for saying hello and making the con so fun for us.

Sam Kieth gave Anh a Kabuki Drawing. Veteral DD artist Dick Ayers stopped by my table and swapped me some of his DD prints for some of mine. Linsner, Terry Moore and Jeff Smith also stopped by to say hello. It was a great con.

The only less than perfect part was the traveling there and back. Because of airline cancelations, re-routings, and delays causing missed connecting flights, we missed almost the entire first day of the show and we had to leave early on Sunday. It took us 12 hours to get to NY and 24 hours to return. Everytime they re-routed us and sent us to some different plane or airline, we got the very thorough security search in 2 hour long security lines. And after every bit of our luggage being searched over and over, right before we were about to walk on the plane, Anh, Andy and I were singled out again as we matched some kind of profile in the RANDOM security check. They meticulously take out every single item in every single one of your bags (checked and carry on) and go through it all inside and out on a table. You also get the pat down.

So from our point of view, security is very tight right now. I guess we can look at that as a good thing. Fortunatly we were very entertainting to each other the entire time. But we were glad to finally get home after being re-routed to Chicago to spend the night before being able to fly home in the morning.

I signed a ton of the Marvel Charity book. THat was a big hit. Thanks to every for picking it up and raising money for the charity. Andy and I also donated some original art to the charity auction, but we had to leave before the auction. SO my best to whoever got the art.

Great show. Great vibe. Some readers gave me some great Kabuki artwork. I really appreciated it. Also I spoke with a lot of students from SVA, Parsons and the Fashion Institute. It was fun. I was also officially invited to speak at the School of Visual Arts. So I look forward to that. I will post here when it will happen.

A lot of other great stuff happend too, but I'm sure I will remember more when I wake up. And I will tell the Poe KABUKI story then too.

Best,

David
