NYC Trip Recap

I have had 2 dreams now about going back to visit NYC so apparently my subconscious wants me to write about the trip a few weeks ago.

We did a heck of a lot of walking around, including going to see the Museum of Cartoon and Comic Art. There were a few artists in particular that I really liked but had not heard of, and I jotted down their info. (Need to remember to look them up later and see what I can find.)

Also I managed to do a tiny amount of sketching during one sitting break, which was pretty awesome. I have had a hard time getting myself to sit and draw for... well much longer than I care to say.

We also went to see Avenue Q, although [livejournal.com profile] crazybone had been to see it one before (in Boston?). I was familiar with the plot and music, but I was glad to have the chance to see it live.

[livejournal.com profile] rosefox and [livejournal.com profile] sinboy were amazing hosts, and the kitties were surprisingly social. There was much tasty food (including soup dumplings!) and all of the advice about how best to wander was really appreciated.

There were lots of things we didn't get to see, as we didn't feel the need to rush around and try to cram too much into one visit. Mostly we saw stuff in Manhattan, so there is lots of things we didn't even get anywhere near. All the more reason to go again at some point. I know among other things, I would love to get to see [livejournal.com profile] regyt's hive someday when she has it up and running, if she were willing.

I was tired when I got home, but in a pleasantly fulfilled way. All and all, it was a really fun trip. I am so glad that [livejournal.com profile] crazybone threw out the idea of going and doing this. I would not have done it on my own, and I had a lot of fun. The only (minor) downside was that I missed [livejournal.com profile] cintyber and [livejournal.com profile] salvbard a lot while I was there, often thinking of things I would have liked to point out or ask questions about, but that just makes me want to do a bit of travel/vacation with them this year if possible (may not be, and likely not to that location).
