Pix from AAEC, Part 1: Banquets and other Assorted Partying

The Cartoonists With Attitude crew was out in full force at the 50th Anniversary Convention of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists earlier this month. I had 200+ photos, which I've cut down quite a bit and divided into sets. Here's a select few photos from the first bit (which you can also see all 32 photos as a slideshow):

As you can see, Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich was our banquet guest speaker. I have to admit that as much as I've been a big fan of Kucinich's positions on pretty much everything, I was in such a hyped up mood (perhaps a result of sharing one small hotel suite with 5 other cartoonists for four days) that I didn't really pay attention to his speech.

Coming up: coverage of AAEC and CWA panels and signings, etc.

I'm finally going through my 200+ photos from the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists 50th Anniversary convention in DC earlier this month. I'll have writeups and a lot more soon, but here's one of my favorite photos, of Lisa Wilson and myself with reporter Helen Thomas after Ms. Thomas gave one of the best speeches I'd ever heard. Helen Thomas for president!
