A week later, and it’s time for Heidi MacDonald to look back at NYCC and show what we’ve all learned. Well, really, mostly what she learned personally:

On Sunday I made the mistake of dragging myself to the con to have lunch with a bunch of fabulous lady cartooners, only to find when I got there that I was sick to my stomach and missed out on lunch anyway. I actually found a big Anvil case behind the PW booth and lay on it for a little while, trying to catch up on the missed sleep. Of course by 3 o’clock I felt way better, but by then the damage was done. Anyway, as we all get older, we need that sleep. I was sick as a dog going into the show and gutted it out on sheer heart for most of it, but missed so many things… lunch with Carla Speed McNeil, breakfast with Wes Craven, the DC party… With so many people living in NYC, the nighttime events were spread out all over town, so it was an endurance test just to hit a few of them. Also, two nights in a row I came home to find cat puke where I didn’t want to find it. That never happens at the Hyatt.
