Big Apple Con

Posted by Cz-Backlash - June 9th, 2008


All the cool kids are talking about it so why not hop on the bandwagon?

I was at home doing home stuff when I look at Newgrounds and see the massive sign for Big Apple Con. Low and behold I've only realized that it was that exact day and it was like five at night. Unlike most of the fellows who we're at the booth, I had the advantage of living like a half an hour away from the city, so I hopped on the bus and got to the con maybe two hours before it closed. Though I was alittle "jittery" to say the least when I first met everyone, well not so much Tomamoto as we hung out afew months back around the time of New York Comic Con. But yeah I was pretty swamp assed when I was confronted by my flash hero The Swain, as well as Tom, Luis, Afro Ninja, Bob, MindChamber, and Krinkles, and Radioactive24. I was star struck to be around the crew of Newgrounds is all, but after talking to them and just hanging around I got over myself.

I got there pretty late so we just talked about some random crap and I got to draw some stuff in their collective little sketch book, also I bought me a Tankman figure, so now I have absolutely no excuse for not drawing one cause I don't have "Reference". After the con I was invited to join the crew for dinner at this ritzy restaurant that tried to make itself look like this "Hip Indie" kinda dive. I sat inbetween Tomamoto and April, and across the way was Swain, Bob, and Afro. One thing ya gatta know about Tomamoto, the man's a lightweight, he had one beer (granted it was pretty tall for one) and he was pretty tipsy, but it great cause then we all pretended like we we're in Mystery Science Theater and made fun of this old 1980's flick where every person in the movie solves their problems with dancing, I mean they even brought some guy back to life in a hospital cause a wave of people started to break dance. The food come out rather late, (with I guess good reason, as there was like 30 something of us there) But the majority of us got these things called 'Pop Burgers' which we're like White Castle but ya know, they don't cause death on the first bite.

The next day I stopped by again, it was much of the same, hang around the booth and converse and draw, because that time I had brought my sketch book, also I got me a bitchin sweet Blockhead T-shirt. Once the con was over I hung around and helped the official booth workers pack their stuff up and bring it to the van. Once that was done we went on our merry way. All and all it was a nice way to spend the weekend.

Mark my words Tom, I'm going to repay you! Also thanks for being my "T-shirt Buddy" Radioactive. And I'm going to get you back for that penis in my sketchbook.

No Sketchbook is complete without an Autograph page.

glad you had fun man! I sure did.

I think I accidentally stole your badge. Whoopsie Doodle :3

I never actually had my own badge until the end of the last day, and I ended up leaving it on and going back home with it. so it must have been someone else's. no biggie.

Ha, I ended up with a badge too. It was stuck on one of the boxes by a piece of tape when we were closing up the van so I figured, why not and ninja'd that shit.

Haha, you got April's sig too :D

I don't remember if Luis mentioned you in the "thanks for all the help!" part of his userpost, but if not, he ought to be reminded :O

And that's funny, I never thought of using a Tankman figure as reference material. I can't believe I didn't fork over the cash to get one for myself...I was so busy trying to sell them :(

Reference is like the only reason I'd ever buy a figure of anything. Except for my Bigfoot Action Figure with Foot Imprinting Stamp Action. That one's all me.
