[[Pete and a Dark-Suited Man come upon Joey, who's holding an enormous horn.]
Dark-Suited Man: What did I tell you? Here he is!
Pete: Joey! Wow, I haven't seen you since high school!
Joey: How's it going, Pete? What's the scoop?
Pete: Hey, do you still have that eight bucks I lent you in tenth grade?
Joey: No, man! I spent it right after you gave it to me.
Pete: ...Well, do you have some other, similar eight bucks that you could give me?
Joey: Ha ha ha! Same old Pete. Hey, you still with that girl? Turned out to be a guy?
Pete: Okay, seriously give me my money.
[[A man in a top hat appears.]]
Man in Top Hat: Pete! I haven't seen you since prom!

The computers tell me it was 20 years ago, June 9, 2006, that I arrived in New York for my first-ever comic convention as an exhibitor, MoCCA.
It was an important trip for me, a milestone in what would go on to become my career.
I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
