Well, I didn't win.

But don't worry, I'm not too broken up about it. I had a great time hanging out in New York all week.
The view from the hotel in Jersey City. New Yorkers say, "The best thing about New Jersey is the view of New York." New Jerseyans say, "F#@& off!"
Hanging out with Scott Hilburn and Dave Blazek.
They spelled my name wrong on the sign. Again.
Sat next to Stephan Pastis at the unlucky table.
Tom Gammill hosted the event and gave the best Reubens show I've ever seen. Granted, this was only my second, but believe me, it was great.
This is the statue outside the hotel; a man getting stabbed in the back. I think it's the official emblem of NJ.

Reuben Awards Day 1

Looking out my window at New York City across the Hudson river. I'm here for the Reuben Awards, the annual National Cartoonists Society weekend. It's my one chance to talk to other people that draw cartoons for a living, and talk excitedly about things like... pens.
Ran into Stephan Pastis as I arrived at the hotel. He pointed out a statue of a man getting stabbed in the back. New Jersey!
