Good news, fun, adventures and observations from our wacky world

Photoshop 101 - While the boy is away Stacey still plays. Check these awesome pictures from last week. I was in West Virginia working and Stacey worked all week at the Warfield. The Dead, Velvet Revolver, and James Blunt all performed.

Comic Shopping in Europe - I recently had the opportunity to visit Milan, Dublin, and Barcelona. The trip was for business but I did have enough free time to explore the comic shops in each of these cities. The experience is very different in each city but the shop owners and customers are very much the same.

Dark Side of the Moonshine - Poor Man's Whiskey brings their critically acclaimed bluegrass interpretation of Pink Floyd's classic album "Dark Side of the Moon" to the legendary Great American Music Hall. Dressed as the characters from the Wizard of Oz, and under the canopy of the Lazer and Liquid Light show, it will be an evening not to be missed!

Half Moon Bay 4 a Day - The storms have broken and now we can finally get out and remember why we love the San Francisco Bay Area so much. Join us for a quick road trip down the PCH to a gem of town tucked along the coast.

Kids Comics - One thing leads to another and to another...This idea came from some really cool kids I know. Hopefully I can capture the energy and excitement they have for my hobby. Kids making comics for kids an idea who's time has come. Look for yourself.

New Years Cake - New Years Eve in San Francisco offers plenty of options. This year Stacey and I decided to work at the Warfield. Cake was headlining the show and they are always a super groovy fun time. The older crowd means less hassles for the ushers and the band has only gotten better over the years.

Brain Dump – This week I review the new Superman book and DVD, share my impressions of the Tom Petty documentary and book, rant about the Real Housewives of Orange County, welcome a new monkey, imagine I’m a guitar god like Warren Haynes, and learn what's it like to be a Third World Cop. It's all ridiculous!

Our Kid Rock Saga Continues... - Sunday evening rolled around so Stacey and I got ready for the show then headed out to the bus stop. It seemed fitting to ride the MUNI to see the great white trash rocker in person.

Kid Rock - The kid grows up and we are part of the party. The new CD is the best American rock n roll to come out in years. Visit our tribute page because we are not afraid to say, "We believe!"

All Heart - John Starks worked his way into the NBA. Junior colleges and minor league teams helped create this special player. Between seasons he packed groceries and did other odd jobs. No golden child for sure but I fear he is quickly being forgotten, replaced by high school super-stars and spoiled men who act as if the fans don't matter.
