There and Back Again
Robbi and I (and Alden) spent the weekend sitting behind the Idiots'Books table at the 2009 Museum of Comic and Cartoon Arts show. This year, it was housed in an armory on Lexington Avenue (apparently the building was used as the exterior shot of the place where Toby Maguire wrestles in the first Spiderman movie).
Here, the expectant crowds wait for the show to open.
Alden helped Robbi set up our booth.
Slowly but surely...
...everything came together.
Eventually, we were all set up.
Her work complete, Alden tried to escape into the city. As I chased her, I heard her muttering, "Broadway, here I come..."
Eventually, I convinced her to stay, citing such fun things as puppets.
She was utterly unimpressed.
Eventually, she fell asleep in the middle of the floor behind our table.
We used her as an object lesson to the folks who stopped by, citing her as the inspiration for The Baby is Disappointing.
While she was asleep, Robbi considered trading her for this less disappointing baby, the property of our friend Shawn Cheng of Partyka fame.
Ultimately, Shawn decided to keep his baby, so we nudged Alden further under the table and resolved to wait for her to grow up.
