Have you been to Africa like I have?

Tuesday night my brother and I went to the middle east to see the band Big Business:

Now that's a bad cell phone picture, deal with it. Even though I think they were better when I saw them with the Melvins, Big Bizz were great. The second band that played, Tweak Bird were a very fun lot as well. Motherboar... eh.


Yesterday morning, Sam and I took a trip to Chris' comics. I got a handful of Vampire comics and "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" Part 2. Sam, on the other hand, picked up some What Ifs?.
Here's a picture of some of the toys you'll find at Chris':
Later in the day I picked up "Sinestro Corps War" Vol 1.


We are also starting the Significant Robot Bicycling Troupe. Maybe you can become a junior member.

In Which I Am Impressed / In Which I Have No Motivation.

I've spent most of my night reading this blog: Atop The Four Wall which is actually fucking great. Go to it. Read it.

And read Batman #686:












Listening to the Hold Steady made me feel like maybe I want to live the type of life they describe.
