I read that not enough "regular" people were writing about this year's NYCC. I'm gonna dash off some thoughts, because I don't work for a news outlet

I got bumped into more at this convention (which I only visited on Saturday) than I do at any three San Diego Comic-Cons. It didn't matter if I was strolling casually, walking at a good pace or standing at someone's table, someone seemed to careen into me at full-speed every three minutes. I haven't even had that problem on the New York subway system

o.o you were there? You know I wrote my own rant about what I hated about Saturday at the con (appropriately called 'Saturday of the Damned' if you ask me) and I haven't found any other truly unhappy reports? I mean the occasional negative comment, but it seemed to be something that everyone glossed over

This was the first year I've really gone to NYCC (aside from doing a Lulu signing for a few hours a few years back) and it was just as overwhelming as San Diego and with a much more complicated floor plan. I was glad by the time we even found Artists' Alley so I could hide out from the mayhem of the main floor on Saturday.
The main downside for me was the chances of randomly running into people on the floor. I was sorry to miss you, Dave and countless others that I didn't even know were there til after! But again, this is what happens when no one has a table for a home base and there is shoddy phone reception. Glad to know I'm not the only one overwhelmed by it all.
I've found that the best bet for restrooms was to go down a level to the long hallway that connects all the panel areas (A to E) across the length of the center. There seem to be restrooms for or between each lettered section or so? I was able to duck into those without having to wait on a line. Admittedly, it can be a long walk from the show floor

I agree with you on all parts, I have only tried to go to NYCC or NYAF over the years just to try to catch visiting friends, other wise I would not have gone at all for the same reason. Nor would I ever table at either show. Which is a shame, but the javits center is just to terrible a location. it defeats the purpose of being in NY
