    Man, at the same time as MoCCA. Now I *really* wish I could be in NYC this weekend!

    Jasmin St. Claire… another comics geek. (Not only did she appear as herself in a pretty decent (so to speak) Carnal Comics issue, (I espcecially liked her Publishers Clearinghouse fantasy) but she was the model of the “Cocktails in the Cantina” CD of Star Wars lounge music.)

    Pretty good cast of characters for a show. Not a lot of comics per se, but sure to draw a crowd. I suspect they’ll have a shuttle bus from Puck to Penn like last year?

  3. Ken Wong says:

    Sorry, there’s no comics fan shuttle bus sponsor this year, but getting around town to/from all the different comics-related stuff going on in NYC this weekend should still be pretty easy.

    The N (on weekends) and R subway lines run right down Broadway from 34-Herald Square to Prince Street (and vice versa) — putting you within a block or so from Big Apple at Penn Plaza and MoCCAFest at the Puck on either end… with a hop off in between at 23rd Street for anyone checking out the Saturday afternoon auction at Illustration House (110 West 25th).

    For those going to/from the Kinokuniya Bookstore at Bryant Park that Saturday, the B/D/F/V trains should get you from 42St-5Av to B’way-Lafayette in a hurry.

    First reaction when i saw the before and after: awesome.

    This is the honest to go truth. My wife and I have not been sleeping together aka frolicing in the dark for over 3 months. This to me is completly insane and I think that it should be illegal for women to marrry and not give it up to their husbands for this long. Anyone else agree with me on this one? Fellas Viagra online sales are at a all time low and you gotta wonder why? LOL this isn’t funny anymore women are trying to takeover the world!!!sex, love life, marriage, intimacy, sexual arousal,
