NYCC: Friday's twitter collection

09:30 Off to NYCC.

11:27 I'm here.

11:46 WOw, people treat press so different compared to coming as a normie.

11:51 I think Gaimn tickets are still available solely due to the fact no one knows where to buy them.

12:09 Andromeda Strain trailer: so many dead birds!

12:23 I've seen like 3 costumes. where are the freaks?

12:59 Sitting down for the Scott McCLoud panel.

13:43 Disasterbation.

14:55 I forgot to leave enough time in my schedule for food or water. DOne with copyright. Zinn, tell me of America through comics!

15:10 Zinn isn't here. And the moderator is talking about comics as an accessible medium. Mixed feelings, esp. after hearing McCloud & Rushkoff.

15:11 The guy who created Richy Rich wrote the GN version of the 911 report. How cool is he?!

15:29 Listening to these old pros (richy rich and casper) is heart wrenching and inspiring. These are great and humble men.

16:01 There are almost twice as many people at the How To write A COmic Pitch than the McCloud & Rushkoff debate. Selfish pricks.

16:15 Wow. In 15 minutes I have heard nothing original from the EIC from oni, virgin, image, boom or top cow.

16:26 Comics isa closed industry. "Let's assume you've networked, know people and have an in. Now you can write a pitch." Hope... BANG.

16:34 Guy in front of me:"Strunke and White? Write that down Let's find that." Yeah, great fucking secret manual... ass.

16:48 Women in comics. Description no longer lists Jenna Jameson. That's a set of two large, firm, surgically enhanced shames.

17:02 Stuck next to 3 dinguses talking about how special and awesome their project is. All of our comics are fantasic and world changing. Shut up.

17:43 "If you want to be remembered as a rebel commander stay out of a bikini. Watch Anchorman." Nice.

18:04 Neil Gaiman if this line ever moves.

18:45 Neil Gaiman just read "The day the saucers came". He is a mighty fine reader.

18:55 There's someone snoring. At the Neil Gaiman reading.

19:14 10 minute break. Then Q&A. Then Graveyard Book (as yet unpublished).

19:39 Some kid used his Gaiman question to get a girl's phone number. Briliant.

19:45 Looks like I'll skip the X-Files 2 sneak peak to stay at the Gaiman reading. Priorities. PS "Gaiman reading" now shows at every word prompt.

20:45 Gaiman's over. I'm off to a show now. Blog it all lagter with audio.
