MOCCA 2009 has come and gone!

Well, what a weekend! ComicsQueens (Peter, Miriam, KOOMI, and me) had a half-table at MOCCA this year, in the NY Armory, coincidentally on the anniversary of D-Day. It was two days stuffed with meeting cool people, seeing/buying great new comics, and showing our stuff. Highlights include sitting next to the Parsons table and chatting with the lovely Steven Guarrnaccia (Parsons is developing a Visual Narrative MFA in 2011, hopefully), eating delicious Vietnamese sandwiches, talking with Jon Lewis (True Swamp), Dr. McNinja, Kate Williamson, meeting the Rabid Rabbit folks and so many many other people. 

You can tell our brains are still a little fried from the weekend - but let me just say: mocca = cool people. Thanks so much to our friends Preeti, AJ, Alexander, Nick, Katie, and everyone else who came and showed us love!

To tell you the truth, we were a little fried in general ----- there was no AC, as many bloggers are pointing out, but on the plus side, the Armory looked a lot like a 1904 Zeppelin Parking Lot, so the building had lots of curiosities. Some soldiers were in the crowd --- I hope they had a good time. 

Here's what we were showing this year:
PETER QUACH - 1) TRANSIT 2) YOU DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT JESUS
MIRIAM GIBSON - 1) GIBSONIUM 2) HORNITHOLOGY 3) AGED SAILOR SCOUTS 4) JAYBIRD SHIRTS
ANDREA TSURUMI - 1) TERKA #1, 2) EYEBALL AND SCREAMING NEMO 3) COMICS WALLETS

We have lots of new ideas for next year!

  1. Thanks for the post! I hope they keep it in the armory next year, with the addition of air conditioning. Next year will be awesome!
