Spring

Finally! Hope you bastards are warming up. The sun dresses are in full bloom here in the Stand Your Sunshine State.

Black Dynamite, Motherf_cker!

New cartoon on Adult Swim premiering next spring, but we can watch the pilot on adultswim.com on August 8.

Kinks Show At The Winterland (February 19, 1977)

Hey, free bootleg from Heather at I AM FUEL, YOU ARE FRIENDS! Get it whilst you can.

Beautiful Chicago!

I'm roadtripping to Chicago tomorrow with a friend from college, so the blog will be a lurker-free environment for a few precious days. Can't wait to hear about the Subteens show. Have fun with it Jaime.

Keep on Rockin' in the Pink World!

The blog was like, so in need of a new direction! I've always been a little shy about my manga fixation, but now I feel really empowered to sparkle. Let's all try to add a little flair to our site! C'mon, Dave! Get with the program!

You Want Beyond Beautiful? Cinque Terre!

A friend is planning a trip to Italy and asked me where to go. My answer is: the cinque terre, or 5 villages, overlooking the med. Accessible only by train or boat-- no cars! Nice hiking trails between them, it's a place of relentless beauty. Wherever else you go in the land of vendettas and vermicelli, you can't miss this one.

Seems like everyone I talk to is planning a trip somewhere. I'm starting to think about Italy, maybe next Spring.

Ireland Is Beyond Beautiful

Here's another shot from that 1997 trip that produced the Abbey Road photo. Man, I had forgotten how beautiful the Irish countryside is. This is a cow pasture beside the Cliffs of Moher. I've got to get back there one of these days ...

Oh, I almost forgot the best part. The day we were there, a guide told us that some French dumbass had plunged to his death the week before after dangling his legs over the side. (Exactly what they tell you not to do.) I guess Ireland is much less litigious than we are, as there are no rails to protect you. If you fall, it's your fault.
