This weekend is New York Comic Con at the Javits Center. I will be there Saturday and Sunday this year. Peter\u2019s table is BB1 in Artist Alley. Other Crazy 8 people will be dropping by from time to time. Caroline will be selling drawings. I will be bringing some puppets.<\/p>\n

My advise for NYCC, go online and plan your visit to the convention center. They have all the information for the weekend listed and a clever app so you can record what you want to look at and where the people you want to see are. <\/p>\n

Assume that it will take about 30 minutes to get anywhere and be happy when it does. <\/p>\n

Comfortable shoes are a must. This covers as much ground as SDCC and the floors are harder I swear.<\/p>\n

And like SDCC they have exclusives. Lots and lots of exclusives. They can be found here<\/a><\/p>\n

Hydrate. I\u2019m not kidding. <\/p>\n

Make sure you take breaks during the day. Sitting in a panel counts as a break if you are sitting.<\/p>\n

Assume that there will be a line for everything and anything including food, the bathrooms, and the ATMs. So plan accordingly especially for your bathroom needs.<\/p>\n

Sunday is Kids day and there is a lot for the children to do. Ergo there are going to be a lot of kids on Sunday at the convention and the things that go with children like strollers.<\/p>\n

Have back-up plans.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t count on your cell phones\/smart phones to work. The Javits center can be the black hole of cell service especially the lower you are in the building. Make sure you have a meet-up point and time if part of a group.<\/p>\n

And if it does get to be too much, hey you are in NYC which has tons of other things to do. <\/p>\n

I hope to see some of you this weekend. <\/p>\n

I am grateful that I pretty much know my schedule this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
