Speaking of Thursday, any news from your comics guy, Wulfie?
I'll make sure to check the web for parties thrown around at comics shop during Comic Con.
Nay.
He probably does not yet know how many passes he has. I will e-mail him Monday if no word. As soon as I know, you'll know.

Argh-urgh. Must update my 'to be signed list'.

Thursday shopping sounds good. Could do with new 'sneakers'/trainers from DC and a little trip to Uniqlo and what not.

Standard Attrition members and/or creator stuff sounds fun.

Mitch are there any other places you want to see?

Just discovered that Sam Harris, neauroscientist and author of besst-selling books, The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation is doing a lecture in NYC on the Saturday as part of his book tour for The Moral Landscape. I'd love to go to this, but... my comic love is too great! There will be no time for Mr. Harris with all the creator chasing we'll be doing.

Huh, M. Night Shyamalan will be at NYCC. Tempted to bring my Unbreakable DVD to get signed but then again, it'll probably be impossible to get near him.

I'd like to bring my baseball bat to have him sign with his teeth.

Everyone actually got their comics together, pretty much packed up? I know I haven't. Spent some time finally organising everything into long boxes. Still some work to do, but everything is already more easily accessible.

Mitch, if you are arriving into Manhattan via Shuttle bus, the bus lets you off right in front Grand Central, not that you should jump right into GCS when you get off the bus but its pretty close.

Also, and don't let my opinion sway you in any way, but I don't think much of what is housed inside the MoMA can or should be considered "Art". It's mostly, in my opinion, a lot of bullshit masquerading (quite sucessfully) as art by a lot of stuck up pretentious assholes. However, you should still check out the MoMA and any other museum for the experience.

Also, Time Off for NYCC10 requested and approved :)

Noppers, still haven't done it yet. At all. Going to do it either this weekend or next weekend for certain

I'm going to the MoMA for the museum itself, actually. Also, want to see the Met.

We're not arriving with the shuttle bus, we're going by bus from Washington. We arrive 7th Ave & 28th St.

The Met was awesome.

MGM, what day do you arrive?

Also, Arn, where did you want to shop?
SoHo again, or somewhere else?

Some fun, yet useless, facts about 7th Ave & 28th street. My younger sister (whom you share a birthday with) went to the Fashion College that is located on 7th & 28th street. My older brother also used to work on 7th & 28th but across from the college.

And I work about 5 minutes from 7th & 28th. I'm on 6th & 26th st.

I feel like I should be there, on behalf of all my siblings who've worked and gone to school on that corner, to welcome you to 7th & 28th st with a giant pink and green "Welcome Mitch and Natascha" sign. :)

On Wednesday, I think around 4 PM.
I am fully aware the list of to-see things is a bit ambitious.

I don't really care where we shop. Oh wait, yes, I definitely wait to go to this place in Greenwich Village where they sell very cheap Levi's jeans.
Other than that maybe find an Esprit shop. Uniqlo could be a place to go too.
Also want to shop for some books (Richard Stark's Parker serie and Rucka's Atticus Kodak).
I'm not bothered if we don't all do the same thing on Thursday. We'll be all with each other all weekend long.

I'm all for cheap Levi's. Especially the 512 model. Than again, cheaper than in Holland has to be doable.

The Parker series was just republished this year, and all the attius kodiak series are in paperback now, so that will be easy. Bookdepository is still the cheapest place for books, though.
