Yeah, a ton of folks looked uncomfortable, your table most certainly. Wasn't very happy about the flooring, as silly as that sounds. It was very pitted and dented and if you drop something on it, you're likely to get splinters under your finger nails trying pick it up. No laminate for the flooring?
I was glad the Jack Kirby Museum had a table set up even if it's still pretty much a 1 1/2 man operation like the website (though, cross your fingers, my girlfriend may actually staff them because she met the requirements they were looking for in a webmaster despite her complete ignorance of the King).
I seem to recall in the past MoCCA had a good way of making their volunteers recognizable. This year, they didn't get t-shirts. Maybe I'm just a fascist used to the power I got as an NYCCC volunteer, but we would have had the crowds at least being less of a fire hazard and such and not clog the middle of aisles so much.
I tried to help out the mini comic types by looking looking for whoever had something nice looking that I hadn't tried before (but I can't fight the urge to return to some of the folks who have entertained me before). One of these years when I grow up and have something worth xeroxing and stapling, MoCCA may have a better venue for me to share a table at.
Actually, the volunteers did have t-shirts and bright yellow badges, but the background of the t-shirts somehow made it difficult to see what was on them.
How odd. The only reason I knew to go to staffers at the entrances were the name tags and that they were either behind a desk or had a stamp waiting in their grips. I either don't remember the t-shirt correctly or the folks in the front didn't wear'em?
The shirt had the illustration done by Molly Crabapple on it and was a dark gray color. I was downstairs for the most part, so it could be the case that above things went differently.
It just might have worked better last year when we had the red t-shirts.

It was all sorts of confusing though.
