Huck Gee, one of my favorite current artists around, is putting his latest vinyl creation up for sale this Friday at noon (PST).  There are only 10 figures in this set, and grabbing one will cost you a cool $800.  however, i have little doubt that these will sell out like hot cakes.  If you are looking for an amazing unique expense, check it out: Huck’s blog with info on the item and sale

A friend of mine has started a weekly dance party at Barcopa in Santa Monica.  It is every Wednesday, and is a great blend of indie dance, classic jams, and many surprises.  I am not one known for “busting moves”, but I have a great time every time.  Things tend to pick up on the later side, so I’d recommend getting their 10:30ish.

Today I had my first real earthquake since moving to the west coast.  My apartment felt like a moon bounce.  Only Megaman and two Transformers were taken for a ride, but luckily, they survived.

I spent last weekend at Comic-Con in San Diego. It was my second visit to the show, and I had a blast reveling in the nerdy debauchery. MC Lars played at the G4/STRANGEco party, and unleashed this awesome song:

I spent a good bit of time perusing the show floor. While I didn’t have time to test out Street Fighter 4, I did discover an amazing booth for an American animation art dealer: Van Eaton Galleries. They had a mind-blowing assortment of work that spanned the last century. I spent hours digging through their collection rediscovering my childhood (I had completely forgotten about “Road Rovers”!). It reminded me of when I used to dig for vinyl, searching for the needle in the haystack. I really can’t describe how cool it was to see so many treasures from american animation, but it has definitely gotten me to consider a temporary transition from anime cels to those of the american variety. Luckily, the gallery happens to be nearby in Sherman Oaks, so I’m sure I’ll be spending more time there.

Well, I have had an exhausting day today at Comic-Con, and as I am recovering, I realized I didn’t make a post today.  Here is the new Futurama trailer.  It isn’t really comic-related, except that it is nerd-related in title.
