6/10/08 09:42 pm - Old Cars - and now a comic!
Hey everyone,
First off - MoCCA was awesome! I'll be posting some more about it later, along with (hopefully) a short little 1 page comic thingy. whee!
First off, though, I recently listened to the song "Old Cars" by Lucy and it really touched me a lot. It's a really beautiful song about the passage of time, age, and love...it really gets me every time I listen to it.
Anyways, I keep singing it to myself, and doing harmony while I'm listening, so I decided to record myself doing said harmony along with the song. Hopefully she doesn't mind, and hopefully it sounds ok. I really really love this song, and it really really makes me emotional about family and friends and stuff...it's fantastic.
Old Cars Duet by Lucy Knisley and Mark Thisse!
So, my roommate got Wii Fit recently. Here's how that went down...
As for MoCCA - it was a ton of fun! I was so wore out after both days. And NY was so hot. SO HOT. It was my first time both to MoCCA and to New York city, so it was pretty interesting! I think I'd like to visit it again when I
a) don't have a comic convention
b) don't have to deal with ninety-some degree weather

lucylou was kind enough to let me have some space at her table, which was a lot of fun. We kept pretty busy!
I got to meet up with some LJ people, and that was cool!piratecore and joshpm stopped by a few times, and they were absolutely rad.
I also got to talk to Lynda Barry some. I missed her! So I gave her my comic and got a big hug...she's so great! It was really cool to see people that I'd met through friends or at the shcool and to be able to chit-chat with them!
Let me see if I can remember all the comics I got (I took a picture, but it came out terribly. I didn't get that many, so I should be able to get this)
LifeMeter - Videogame anthology
An Army of Lovers Will Be Beaten - Bernie McGovern
Phase 7 #11 - Alex Lonstreth
Sweet buttons and minis and stuff frompiratecore
HxC Dan, buttons and CD fromjoshpm
Chiggers Bandanna from Hope Larson
Umm...I know there's more...but it's 3:12 am, and I still haven't really recovered from MoCCA. Maybe more list later? Yeah. I'm gonna go to sleep now...
Oh wait. Sketches and stuff that I found.
( sketches )
Peace!
