Dog Eaters

Feb 8, 2009 Day 3 New York Comicon

Posted on 02.09.09 6:13AM under New York Comic Con, Uncategorized

I was told that Day 3 was Nerd Day. What that means, I’m not quite sure. But Sunday was sold out and children under 12 admitted for free. It was packed. And it seemed like there were more cosplayers than Saturday.

On a more self-centered note, the public awareness of DOG EATERS has definitely gone up — which gives me a feeling of mild relief. I think this project might see its way to completion.

I spent a few furtive minutes in the morning trying to photograph the camera-shy Derek Ruiz. He handles a lot of Dabel day-to-day business and is usually credited as a project director or editor. Derek reviewed portfolios on later in the afternoon.

Amanda came in (Marie worked Fri and Sat). With experience selling electric guitars on her resumé, she was a natural!

This Swat Team member really made me feel safe. Until she sniffed out my peanut butter and honey sandwich…

As seamless as the Swat Bear’s costume was, the Beat Box Boys… were not…

Ernst Dabel: reader, writer, and president of the Dabel Brothers.

A mysterious character from the Far East…

A delightful couple. I bet they can waltz.

This character was part of their entourage.

Jasmine Mai, part Chinese-part Filipina — vying for hottest girl at the NYCC.

There were a number of Slave Leias. I wish I could have lined them all up.

Riddick and a couple of his pals.

It was peaceful until these two squared off. I bet you think the guy with over-sized cleaver won, right?

The man in yellow and black lived to fight again.

My youngest sister, Jan, felt well enough to attend. So nice to see her again!

This is her handsome husband. I think Jan made a good choice, don’t you? At least he’s a member of the Black Dog Clan!

Do you think fangs are enough protection against a burly man in a mask with a cricket raquet?

Here is the crew working. It really helped.

With one of Patricia Briggs’ agents (Mercy Thompson series) and Koko.

An independent filmmaker who just happens to like Super Dolphie. Unfortunately, he’s not a Blythe fan… However, he is a member of the Black Dog Clan.

Fights kept breaking out. I was surprised at the lack of security. I guess they were all busy filling out applications to join Homeland Security.

Later in the afternoon, I was interviewed by Dog & Pony. I’ll let you know where you can view it.

On our way out the door, Reni obliged us with a pose.

After bartering with the gypsy taxi drivers outside of Javits (ended up paying $25 to get 4 of us and our luggage back to the CWC-i office), the full moon came out. Watch out for werewolves!
