What a Day One yesterday!!! Now it’s time for Day Two of San Diego Comic-Con baby! After a slow start due to some technical difficulties getting my pics of the adventure uploaded due to the fact that the Internet here in San Diego seems to be overloaded by the multitudes of people all trying to use […]
3AM, that’s right 3AM wake up. Which means no sleep really. But so what, I’m going to San Diego Comic-Con!!! After months of planning, weeks of organizing, days of packing, and hours of last minute details to wrap-up, the day has finally arrived! My Comic-Con buddy, Joel, crashed at my place so we could get […]

On Saturday June 29th, the Providence Animal Rescue League hosted their annual fundraiser at Nick-A-Nees Bar. Self-labeled beer connoisseurs appeared in bulk, bringing their dogs for […]
