I haven’t seen that show, but it’s on my list. I’ll have to move it up in importance with that recommendation.

If you do get to the PMA you must spend time in the room of Cy Twombly’s Ilium paintings.

Thanks, Derik. I’d definitely like to get together. In any case, if I do make it over there soon, I’m taking a day’s detour through Philly, because I jsut have to see the Ike no Taiga show at the museum. If you haven’t seen it already, by the way, I cannot recommend it any more highly. Taiga is probably my favorite Japanese artist–this side of Hokusai, at least.

Jog: I’d keep an eye out for you, but I have no idea what you look like.

Andrei: I didn’t take a close look at the participants. MOCCA is really the only comic convention type event I go to, so it’s as much about just walking around and exploring as seeing anyone in particularly. I’m planning on attending the panel with Kevin Huizenga, and there are a few people I’m interested in seeing again or meeting (Matt Madden, Frank Santoro). I expect there will be at least a few interesting books to be found be it something new from Picturebox or mini-comics from someone I’ve never heard of.

Plus it’s a good excuse to for my wife and I to go to the city and find some good places to dine.

I’m torn. I have to be on the east coast anyway for a couple of days, and I was thinking of timing it so as to go to MoCCA, but looking at the participants there’s nothing much there that excites me, except for a couple of friends who I would have more time to hang out with if I saw them under different circumstances anyway. I was pretty disappointed with SPX last fall, where, if I’m to be totally honest with myself, I found only one great book–”Ninja.” What do you think, Derik? There’s a lot of names I don’t know, and if you think any of them are my cup of tea, please tell me.

Hey, I think I’m going to MoCCA (probably Saturday)… maybe I’ll see you there…
