Nice page on Guitar Wolf. There’s some really funny stuff in the interview they did with Seiji.

The Gates
I may be taking a trip into NYC this weekend to see The Gates at Central Park. I’m not a big Christo fan, but how often does something like this happen? Not often, I tell you! Not often.
Comic Book Guy
Comic Book Guy’s real name was revealed during last night’s post-football Simpson’s episode: Jeff Albertson. Not terribly exciting, but it sounds about right. Also, there was a brief shot of CBG’s web site, www.dorks-gone-wild.com, which is, of course, now a real web site, presumably created by the Simpson’s folks.
Enterprise axed
No more Enterprise! Darn. I’ve really been enjoying the current season. The addition of Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens to the writing crew has really helped, I think. (Their book Federation is probably my favorite Star Trek novel.)
Synchronicity
Mark Evanier points out today that SFMOMA is running a Roy Lichtenstein exhibit right now, and that SFMOMA is conveniently located across the street from the Moscone Center, where Wondercon will be taking place in a couple of weeks.
I had actually intended on checking out SFMOMA while I was out there, but I think I’ll skip the Lichtenstein exhibit. I don’t hate him quite as much as many other comics fans do, but I can’t really say I have any respect for him either. I’d much rather look at the John Romita and Russ Heath originals than the silly little copies that this guy made and passed off as “Art”.
Patrick
Today is the first anniversary of my brother Pat’s death. Here’s a link to some old pictures of him I posted a while back. And here’s a link to Heather’s “memory of” page. And a link to a page at the Rutgers NJEDL site about him.
In his memory, everyone should listen to Manowar and watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force today.
orbit service
orbit service: Another pretty good band I’ve stumbled across in the last few days. Kind of moody.
Austin City Limits
I’ve just discovered that there are good, Tivo-worthy things on Austin City Limits. There’s a Pixies episode coming up, and another with Wilco and Bright Eyes. I’ve got the Tivo set to record both of them now. I see a lot of other episodes this season that might be interesting: Trey Anastasio, Robert Randolph, Elvis Costello, and a few others.
WonderCon
Only about three weeks left until WonderCon!
Modern Drunkard Magazine Online
I’m not sure if I should be taking this website seriously or not. It’s pretty funny, either way. And they actually do have a point or two to make.
