news and pix
C/FO San Antonio old school champion Robert Gibson has a blog now where he discusses old-school anime stuff. He is even older-schooler than I am, so pay attention.

Grant got interviewed by The Comics Reporter in a fairly comprehensive, high-profile discussion about famous British comic 2000AD and why they never succeeded in the States. Some of the blame goes to Diamond but some of it is fairly placed on the shoulders of the current and past owners of the property. http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/cr_holiday_interview_171/
We will be putting on two pairs of socks and moving a bit of new furniture into the place today, so wish us luck that we come back with all our appendages. It's cold out there today.
Trip pix: Here are some more photos we took on our little trip southwards. First up is the Olympic Torch getting in our way in Windsor.
That little yellow blur passing the lamp post, that's the torch and whoever was carrying it at the time. Long exposure on that picture. Speaking of pictures, here's a picture of the greatest picture ever painted, capturing a historical moment that really happened, I swear to God.
That's right, one time Marilyn Monroe went on a rollercoaster ride with James Dean and the Marx Brothers were in the car behind them. This really happened. I love these paintings. It's a level of kitsch that one imagines is powered by some kind of atomic device attached to the rear of the frame. This painting is for sale in an antique mall north of Knoxville Tennessee, what are you waiting for??
Anyway on New Years we went to Gordon and Megan's house in Marietta and watched as Matt B. and Mike D. and Daric J. shot off a few hundred bucks worth of fireworks. It was a pretty impressive display for stuff launched from a driveway.
The streaks in the background are, I believe, the people up the street attempting to compete with Matt's fireworks. Nice try guys, but you got served.
Happy 2010 everybody!!
