After a day of thinking about the party, I came up with a list of some of the creative types that were there. It was great- we got a mix of people from The New Yorker and elsewhere. Cartoonists in the book who attended: Roz Chast, Barbara Smaller, Julia Suits, Victoria Roberts , Carolita Johnson, Signe Wilkinson. Marisa Acocella Marchetto had a family emergency, Ann Telnaes was on jury duty (darn), and Kim Warp was unable to come.

Also there: New Yorker cartoonists , Sam Gross, Robert Leighton, Feggo (Felipe Galindo), Arnold Roth, Farley Katz, Eric Lewis, Michael Maslin, Martha Gradisher; Academy Awards Nominee animator Bill Plympton, internationally renowned political cartoonist Jeff Danzinger , Mark Alan Stamaty (amazing comic artist), Kathy Osborn (New Yorker cover artist and author), Roxie Munro (New Yorker cover artist and author), Signe Baumane (animator).

Writers: New Yorker columnist and essayist Hendrik Hertzberg, New Yorker writer Bill Franzen, former NYTimes food critic Bryan Miller, Emily Gordon of Print magazine and the great blog emdashes, Kevin Fitzpatrick, writer and President of the Dorothy Parker Society, authors Tom Soter, Phil Sicker. Writer Amanda ReCupido was there from Galleycat, George Rush from The Daily News

Then of course there were many many people from other professions…just thought I would list the cartoonists and writers that I know and met. Some very dear friends came from my college days, and other parts of my life. Not to mention one of our (Michael Maslin is my hubby) daughters, Ella Maslin and her boyfriend Nick Imperial! Our other daughter Gretchen is traveling at the moment and couldn’t come. Let me know if I left anyone out, and I apologize!
