Well, New York Comic Con is freaking *huge*, so it's really not hard to avoid people. It's super easy, in fact. Now, finding people is a mite harder. Seriously, that puppy takes over the main hall of the Javits Center.

February 6-8, and the guest list is up on the site www.newyorkcomiccon.com . I know all about avoiding unfortunate plot developments, but oddly enough, I think it would be easier at the con than at a comic shop. For one thing, the random costumers wandering around in spandex are exceedingly distracting.
